Clair was hungry, sure she had eaten her fill at Dinner, but it was now a few hours after Dinner and she was Hungry! She looked at the clock on the wall of the Girls' Dorm. I read 10:15, I was after Curfew, she shrugged, what was a little rule breaking going to do? Besides, it was only to the Kitchens and back! She got out of bed, and put on her school robes, hey were Black! She could hide of needed pretty well in he black robes! She then put on her slippers, they would be softer then her shoes, she then slipped out of her Dorm, hopping that the other girls in her dorm had not heard her, she then slipped out of her common room, she knew the Kitchens where in the basement, so she had a rather long walk from the West tower! As she started she was careful not to wake any of the portraits, as she was sure they would start yelling about her being out, she walked softly but fast at the Same time, and after about 20 minutes she was in the basements, she looked at around, she was panting slightly so she slowed down, now she was almost stopped, the Basements were dark and cold, Clair Shivered, just then she heard a movement, she looked around, 'what was that??' She wondered lookin around. The place was barren of any hiding spots so Clair pulled out her wand and stood still, hopping not to be seen by who ever or whatever was around the dark place.September 10th, 10:15 pm

Going for a midnight snack
Henry was sitting in the bottom bunk. Staring up in the darkness, his breathing light as he was careful to not wake his bunk mate and friend; Avery Chen.
The teen couldn't fall asleep. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't close his eyes and fall into a dream like state. His thoughts and words continued to spiral around his mind. Keeping him from reaching sleep.
The teen usually has thoughts spiraling around his mind from his anxiety and wolf within him since he is a werewolf unknown to majority at Hogwarts. To add to this, the blue eyed teen is also an insomniac and all of these added together, rushing toward him in the midst of night makes it hard to sleep.
Henry tossed and turned in his bed, squinting his eyes tight as he pulled his pillow over his head. Attempting to block out the light and rest his mind for a moment so he could fall into a dream state.
However, the teen was unsuccessfully and couldn't fall asleep. Eventually, Henry couldn't fall asleep and was beginning to feel his mind and thoughts get restless.
The teen decided to explore and walk around a bit, in hopes that a little exorcise would help him to fall asleep later. The blue eyed teen changed from his pajamas and pulled on his black jacket, hiding the scars on his shoulder.
Loki, a orange feline climbed down the ladder from the top bunk and climbed up Henry's leg to his rigeur shoulder. The feline sat obediently on his right shoulder and looked out at what laid ahead of them.
The teen slowly and carefully crept from the snape dormitory and slytherin common room and through the dungeons. Walking down them then taking a left then another left and a right and a left.
Soon the teen went further down into the basements, walking down the hall when he heard a sound. Loki gave a short and soft meow, Henry nodded toward his feline and carefully walked forward just in case it was a professor or prefect or something else....
However it was a student. A girl, perhaps a first year. The teen smiled toward the girl as he spoke"Hey."

Clair almost died of fright! She had her wand at the ready and was in a complete mood to shoot the one sort of defense spell she knew, the dancing feet charm. She did the correct movement and uttered the charm, her aim was off by a bit and she hit a dust bunny which started to jiggle, she looked at the boy, he had just walked into veiw, and ne had a orange cat on his shoulder, "Oh my God! You scared me!" She said letting out a breath, "your not a perfect are you?" She asked hoping that the Teen boy was just a wandering person and not a Prefect patroling the basements for Students out after cerfew. She managed to smile and then put away her wand, "sorry about that I find the basements a little creepy, and you never know what is lurking in hogwarts!" She said softly, she managed to not run away nor did she scream so Clair was rather happy with herself, she shuffled her feet, "why are you out this late?" She asked, hoping he boy was just running to the washroom, she placed her hand on her wand, just for the comfort of having it near her if she needed it.

"My apologies, are you alright? I didn't mean to frighten you," Henry reply with a voice of concern, his emotions laid hidden behind the 'barrier' out of sight from the girl that stood in front of him. The third year looked the girl over and would take a gre steps closer, concerned for her as Loki sat on his right shoulder and watched the interaction.
Henry softly smiled, the teen was a bit tall at 5'6 and maybe looked like a prefect to the girl, anyway the third year thought of it like a compliment as he spoke" no, I'm not a prefect. I'm just a wandering student, like yourself?" The third year asked the girl curious about her, she looked like a first year but one could never tell especially not at Hogwarts.
However the girl was right and Henry looked around for anyone else, mainly for prefects but luckily he didn't spot any and moved his blue eyes back toward the girl as he nodded toward her words and replied" I agree, you can never be too careful at Hogwarts, " the third year smiled a little, the only emotion present on his face as he listened to the girl's question.
Loki sat up on the third year's right shoulder, sniffing the air as his amber eyes looked at the girl unknown to them who stood across from them. Flickering his tail a bit, back and fourth but not doing anything more.
"I couldn't sleep so I'm out for a stroll and how about you?" Henry responded figuring that he shouldn't lie to the girl, he wasn't breaking any other rules or anything. He was just going our for a walk with his orange feline and now posed the same question toward the girl but then remembered a key detail as he quickly added, " I'm Henry Knight and this is Loki. Uh- you?"

Clair Listened to the boy explain why he was out, "I'm Clair Fernandez, First year Ravenclaw." She said, "your cat is very cute, Loki, right?" She was pretty sure that's what she had heard, but wanted to make sure first.
"I am down here because I was hungry. So I figured that the kitchens was the nest place to go," she looked at the boy, "Are you sure your not a Prefect? You really look like one!" She said suspiciously,
She looked around, the Basements were creepy, a great spot to put a Kitchen if you did not want Students to break into it.
Then she realized that she had not responded to his First question, 'are you alright?'
"oh yes Mr. Knight, I am ok. Just a bit jumpy at being down here, How do the Slytherins do it?" She said, smiling a little, she kept her hand on her want, 'never be TOO careful.' She thought,
She ran her fingers down the twist in her Wand, she did this when she was Awkward, "So... Want to sneak into the kitchen with me??" She asked hoping to end the awkward Silence, she looked at the teen, he was tall! Only being 11 Clair was not as tall, and it made her feel really funny.

Now closer, Henry could see that the girl appeared to be a first or maybe a second year with bright red hair and blue eyes? The third year studied the girl, that was unexpected since he normally knew those with red hair had green eyes. She was different however her hair also seemed brighter, more vibrant than his friends, almost if it wasn't exactly real.
"A pleasure to meet you, Clair and yes his name is Loki," Henry replied with a soft smile, so the girl was a first year. As she continued to speak, he listened to her reason for being so far down into the basements and seemingly remembered that the kitchens are up a few levels well into the dungeons which made him curious how a ravenclaw walks nearly halfway across campus without being spotting that night.
The third year was taken back by her next remark, he didn't think he appeared like a prefect but there were a increase in third year prefects that year as he spoke" I'm sure that I'm not a prefect, although a few of my friends are but don't worry I have a mischievous spirt as well," the teen softly smiled toward the girl as he eyed her for a moment wondering if he was truly mischievous or if that was just his friends pulling him into their mischievous deeds.
"Well I find Slytherin's prosper in the dark, especially my dorm mates," Henry replied as he realized that he never told the girl his house or year as he spoke" I'm a third year slytherin, although I'm not like other Slytherin's, " 'other Slytherin's' meaning he doesn't have biased or care about blood status and he isn't mean either.
A awkward silence fell between them and Henry looked sideways before moving his eyes toward her as he heard her question, nodding a bit as he replied" sure but you are a few below the kitchens."

Clair smiled, "I'm glad your not, it would be quiet disheartening to be caught after the long trek down here! The Ravenclaw common room is a long way away!"
Clair was surprised when he said he was a Slytherin and a third year,
"my sister Izzy, she is a Slytherin, she is in third year you might know her!" Clair said hoping that the boy would know her sister and be able to tell her how her sister was, ever sense the sorting ceremony when Clair had been told she was a Ravenclaw and not a Slytherin Izzy had been upset and not talked to Clair. She hoped when he said that his dormmates were dark she hoped her sister was not one of them. Izzy had away been a little dark, but who knew what hanging around other dark people made you do?
When Henry told Clair that she was a few floors below the kitchens Clair was glad it was dark, because her face went red, "Oh! how embracing! Do you want to show the way then? I don't know my way around all that well yet! she said, smiling, she pulled her hair out of her eyes, she now wished that she had taken the time to pay more attention to it before leaving!

OCC note: I am going to be changing Clair's hair back to brown as I don't think red suits her, just so you know!

"I can imagine, having to walk all that distance and not even reach your destination, " Henry replied toward Clair with a soft smile hiding the rest of his emotions behind the 'barrier' as he took a breath then continued" luckily I'm not a prefect but a fellow mischievous spirit," a playful smile curled his lip for a moment before it was replaced by his usual soft and kind smile.
The third year thought for a moment, he didn't spend a lot of time in the slytherin common room since majority of his friends were in other house. The third year tried to remember if he seen any blue eye or red hair girls in the common room but wasn't sure as he spoke" I don't think so but I don't spend a lot of time at the slytherin commom room anyway since majority of my friends are in different house," Henry preferred his days outside of the slytherin common room since he found his house mates to not be the most pleasant of people to be around minus one or two.
The teen remembered two years ago how he didn't know his way around hogwarts and found himself lost in the dungeons or taking a wrong staircase on the moving staircases which are rather be annoying even after you gotten use to them. Henry offered a soft smile as he spoke" sure, sounds fun, " the third year walk to her side and started to walked down the corridor when her unusual bright red hair caught his eye and he asked" you hair is dyed right?"

She smiled, the boy, Henry, seemed nice, he did not seem to be the normal Slytherin, then again, Izzy and Belle were both Slytherins and they were nice, Clair suddenly realized that even if you were sorted into a house you might no be that houses perfect match, she had seen many of he Ravenclaw students in her common room complain because they had to do homework, she had seen many of the Gryffindor students in the halls or classes shy away from a scary thing, she had seen Hufflepuff students who were mean and short with patience, and she had seen Slytherins who were nice and kind, I was up to the person! This was a mind blowing thought, Clair had never thought about it before, nor had she really cared before either.
Maybe Clair had matured a little in that moment of thought, maybe not but it was a thought that she had not yet thought to think!
"Oh that is good, I love to be mischievous! As you can see by tonight!"
She said in response to Henry's comment about not being a perfect,
"ok, well if you see her let me know sometime how she is, she is kind of hating me for being a Ravenclaw!" Clair smiled but it was just a mask, that fact that her sister was ignoring her really hurt, Clair found it hard to understand why her sister was so mad about it.
"yeah, I dyed it with Henna, just so I could see what I would look like with red hair, but I hate it, so I am going wash it out, I thought I would look better with it but I was wrong I guess! " she laughed softly, "have you ever dyed your hair before?"

Henry smiled toward the girl, she was younger than him by two years but in the moment it didn't really feel like she was. All that matter is that two students from different houses are sneaking around after curfew after fun with each other and sharing a mischievous spirit.
"Two mischievous spirits together, I wonder what will happen," Henry replied playfully with a smile before the emotions retreated back into hiding behind the 'barrier' only a soft and friendly smile can be seen on the third year's face.
When Henry heard the first year's next remark about her sister treating her differently because of the house she's in, the teen stared at the girl taken back and confused by how someone's own family can put something as biased as a house between their relationship. The teen looked at the girl, blue eyes gazing at her as he softly spoke" I promise I'll ask her for you and get her to talk to you again since someone shouldn't judge another based on their house, the houses are biased after all. I happened to have more friends in gryffindor and hufflepuff than my own," Henry offered the girl a playfully smiled as he looked at her and continued" plus ravenclaw is wicked, definitely more than slytherin," brushing a few strands of hair from his face as he fell into step besides the girl as be navigated the basements to the kitchens that night.
Glancing over at Clair as she spoke about her red hair, apparently the teen was right and she had dyed it. The teen smiled to her words before turning back to the darkness ahead as he thought of a answer, darkness meeting blue. The two connecting for a eerie moment as silence filled the basement. Silence that one could hear their own thoughts or worst nightmares comes to life...
"No, but do you think I should? What color should I dye it ever if I ever decide to," Henry spoke turning away from the darkness ahead, from the darkness that is calling him, luring him, to Clair. A soft smile still present on his lips along with a pair of kind blue eyes.
