Jay had decided no to class today, there was absolutely no reason for her to sit in history in her seat at the back of the class next to the window while she drew her classmates as the scenery teased her for not being allowed outside, so she had decided to bring out her pencils to do some drawing of the apple trees that she had found while wandering around the grounds a few weeks ago.
She had no clue as to why the apple trees were there because they weren’t planted… normally. They weren’t in rows like a normal orchard they were more scattered around one place. If she ventured further she could probably find more, but today she was drawing, not exploring.
When she found the spot, class had already begun about five minutes ago. Jay wasn’t the slightest bit worried about getting in trouble, she was quite fast and wasn’t wearing her heavy robes, it was too hot for that.
Jay sat down on the leaf covered ground that was still slightly damp from dew that had soaked into the ground. She pulled out her pencil and charcoal to start drawing the trees when she heard something in the tree itself, brushing it off as one of the owls or a bird she went back to her drawing.
It’s quite peaceful out here…

Apples And Other Things
Leo really should stop climbing these trees. But at least he was sitting on a good branch. Now at least he wouldn't fall on his butt like last time.
The apples were worth the fall, though.
Once again, as he previously mentioned, he was back in one of those trees, on a thicker and much sturdier branch now, munching on some apples.
Very juicy. Very yummy.
He ran the second his Charms class was over. Why? He simply wanted to eat some apples. And for some mysterious reasons there were apple trees in the courtyard. He had a small gap between this class and the next one, Astronomy class. He climbed one up and started munching one. The wind was amazing, this particular branch was kind of cozy, especially the way the leaves covered him up nicely, and a lot of apples were visible.
It was practically like apple heaven. But the problem was, he lost track of time. When he looked at the sky, he realized the sun was much higher.
Oh crap. He missed Astronomy class.
He leaned back against the tree trunk, drowning in despair. How could he forget Astronomy? It was his favorite subject! He forgot that over apples? He was disappointed in himself.
He picked an apple and bit it. The juice filled his mouth and senses, giving him temporary comfort. Yes, he might've broken rules, but the fear of detention was much more smaller than the utter despair of missing out on learning about planets and galaxies.
In his despair, he didn't notice the half bitten apples slipping from his hand. The apple fell through the branches. Oops. He looked down.
Oh crap. There was someone sitting down there.
twhack.
Sorry whoever's sitting there, he thought. The apple I bit through fell on your head?

A half eaten apple fell from the tree and into Jay's lap, missing her nose by an inch when it fell. She stared at the apple, then up at the tree, then back to the apple. "what. the. FUCK!" she yelled, leaping up from the ground and dropping her sketchbook.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BE CLIMBING AN APPLE TREE TO EAT THE APPLES!?!??!??
Jay snapped her head up to the apple tree and her eyes fell on a young boy in the branches. Leo "Oh." Jay tilted her head, her hair going red like the apple that just dropped on her, her skin was now a similar color to the inside of the apple and had some new freckles that weren't there a moment ago. Jay huffed in annoyance. Her appearance liked to change when she had heightened emotions, like anger. They often mimicked her surroundings, it helped her feel safe and sometimes calmed her down. Key word: Sometimes.
Jay's eyes were now a dark green like the leaves as she glared up at Leo "You should be in class" Jay knew that, yes, she should be in history too but Jay was the type of person who can get in trouble be fine with it. Leo on the other hand...
I don't know an awful lot about him but I do know he is a bit of a worrywart? Maybe? How would I know? BUT I doubt he meant to miss his classes, he doesn't seem like the type to want to
Jay shook her head in disbelief, her red hair swaying behind her. She had come here for a peaceful drawing session to draw the trees, instead she had discovered THIS. Looking up at Leo she rolled her green eyes "Get out of the tree." she stated firmly "If I don't get in trouble, I don't want to be dragging anyone else into it"

Oh no.
Not her.
Leo looked down the second the apple slipped down from his hand, and spotted a girl sitting on the ground. It landed on her lap. Oh god, how thankful Leo was that the apple fell on her lap, not on her head. They way she swore immediately, practically jumping onto her feet, made Leo slightly concerned. When she looked up though, Leo's worry turned to panic pretty fast.
This girl was that Slytherin in the library. She almost bit his head off for tripping on his foot. Now he dropped an apple. Not just any apple, a half-eaten one. Not just anywhere, on her lap. What was this girl's name... Ah. Jay Valkyrie.
Aren't valkyries supposed to be happy and helpful in Norse mythology? Why was this Valkyrie so scary?
He gulped when she pointed out that he wasn't supposed to be here, and that she didn't want to drag anyone else into trouble either.
Ah. That was nice of her. Even if she committed crimes against the rules, she liked to keep it to herself. But the problem was Leo had just lost track of time. Then he realized that she asked him to get off the tree.
He didn't like the nervous quake in his voice when he said, ''Okay, okay, getting off, don't kill me.'' He slowly got off, and jumped onto the ground onto hi feet. ''I lost track of time, and didn't realize I was skipping class until I looked at the sun. Sorry... for dropping that apple on your lap, completely unintentional and my fault. Please don't bite my face off.. You can bite that apple if you want?''
Okay. That was a bad joke, he thought as he shifted on his legs. Then he realized that there were way more freckles on her face than before. She's a metamorphmagus too? Leo was one too, but his face didn't change that often. Or that much. ''You're a metamorphmagus too?''
That's when he also realized there was something crumpling under his foot when he was shifting on it. He looked down to see he had landed such a way that his foot on right on the middle of her sketchbook. He immediately stepped away. ''Oops. Sorry.''
He really needed to control his clumsiness.
Not her.

Jay was about to snap. The apple in the lap? Yeah, not knowing someone was sitting under the tree was fine, dropping an apple on them? That was acceptable. But stepping on Jay’s sketch book? Oh you had another thing coming.
“You know” she hissed “some babies were dropped on their head, you were clearly thrown at a wall” she snatched her sketch book away from Leo and blew on it, brushing off as much dirt as possible. Her artwork now had a huge dent in it that messed up the proportions of the whole thing.
Lady Aphrodite, help me with this, I’m gonna lose it one day soon
Jay thought as she closed her dark green eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose in annoyance. Leo stood in front of her awkwardly, looking like Jay would snap his neck at any given opportunity.
“You can calm down, I’m not gonna rip you to shreds.” she paused “you remind me of a cat” Jay sighed, still looking like an exhausted mother of five kids who had gotten less than two hours of sleep last night “so seriously, fuck off” she opened her eyes to look at Leo who still looked absolutely terrified of Jay “Respectfully”

First, he dropped an apple. Then, he dropped his foot on her book. Yes, she had every right to be mad at him. But swearing like that, especially when she was acquainted with Leo (even if it was due to an argument in the library) seemed a bit rude.
And what was that comment about him looking like a cat? Did he suddenly develop whiskers or something? Obviously not, his metamorphmagus ability doesn't produce extra organs. Or was she just making fun of him?
On top of it, Leo could've sworn her face changed a bit. Was she another metamorph? If she was, that would be kind of cool, as Leo was genuinely curious about this ability. He never used it on purpose, and he wanted a partner to practice.
But reality was something in Leo told him that Jay wasn't that much of a mean person, she just sounded that way. Despite her harsh language, she didn't act like a jerk. Maybe this was the reason Leo had an unexplainable urge in him to somehow make a friend out of her.
''Okay, ma'am, watch the language, I'll leave in a bit, though I appreciate the respect.'' He said, smiling nervously. ''But what do you mean by me reminding you like a cat? And, are you a metamorph? Not to be nozy or anything, but that's kinds amazing, that you're a metamorph too.''

Jay sighed, her eyes dulling in exasperation and exhaustion “A nosy little fucker isn’t he” she mumbled to herself. The sunlight shone through the apple trees, casting a beautiful glow on the ground.
“Dont tell me to watch my language, besides who’s gonna stop me?” She grumbled, trying to rub at a stain in her art book.
It’ll give me incentive to hex him if this continues
Jay hated being told what to do, especially if it revolved around a source of expression for her. The way Jay talked was something she liked about herself and someone saying it should be regulated, watched or fixed really pissed her off.
Watch your language huh? I’ve been like this since I was like, eight.
Jay also knew who to blame. Her mum. Sunny. She was an avid fan of cursing when something went a bit sideways. Jay doubted that the things that went sideways happened often.
“Also I think me changing my appearance on the spot to look like the personification of a fuckin apple says a lot” she was genuinely concerned as to if his eyes actually worked or not. “work on those critical thinking skills for me so that the next time you ask a question, it’s not stupid”
Oof that was a bit of an asshole move

Leo's eyes widened.
Oh god. This girl was straight up mean.
Too mean.
Leo had dealt with mean kids before. Mostly they had an incentive. A motive, a reason to be mean. Lunch money, to prove they're superior, to show off to girls or boys, or some other narcissistic reason. This girl's words weren't mean, they were downright harsh. And her language was also...wow. His elder sister said those same words and had her mouth washed with soap in the next minute by his dad. And he was the calmer parent.
But she herself didn't feel mean. She tried to comfort Leo when he was quite obviously intimidated by her. She just wanted to be alone, Leo guessed. Maybe she didn't want someone else getting caught with her, as she was breaking rules.
Usually, Leo just left at this point. Ignoring ''mean'' people was the best thing to do. But something made his mouth work instead of his legs. He guessed it was him being naturally stubborn and him being nosy.
Leo brought both his palms up, as if he was surrendering. ''Okay, I won't. Yes, no one will stop you, and I'm not going to. That's why I requested, though I will admit it didn't sound like one. My bad. You can talk that way. I just said that as I'll be okay with it, but others may misjudge your character, and you may end up making enemies.''
Okay, Leo. THe heck? Since when were you preaching, he thought. But something made him continue, even though he was probably making a fool about himself. ''And about the metamorph thing, well, I'm one too... You might know from the library thing. I'm just excited to know another one here, as I can't shift that easily.''
He looked at her eyes, forcing himself to look despite the sheer amount out intimidation. ''And yes, you might ask why am I preaching to you, or why am I being so nosy, like obviously you know about the enemies thing, and you probably think I'm being too nosy, yeah, your language your wish. Why do I care?'' He shrugged and then said with a helpless, sincere smile, ''guess I just don't want anyone to have a frown on their face.''
Leo, he told himself. That was cringe. You are embarrassing yourself. What are you even trying to do? Immediately run away.
''Okay, just forget what I said, I'll just respectfully leave, bye.'' He murmured, turning away.
He really needed to run fast.

Jay was stunned. Was she really that scary?
Yes
She answered that question for herself. Jay, already regretting this decision she followed Leo. Yes followed. Jay quickly caught up to Leo and fell into step beside him. "Uh... Hey!" she said, a bit too loudly but hey, its whatever.
"I'm not THAT mean, like I get it, if I offended you-" Jay cut herself off. She really sucked at apologizing. It was one of her worse skills. She was good at starting fights but not too good at finishing them peacefully.
"Look, I suck at apologies, so unfuck you. Or whatever." Jay muttered "I'm sure you get the point anyways" she really was sorry, she knew she could be rude. A lot. And she really wanted to apologise she just didn't know how.
Another thing on my list to learn. Great
She thought bitterly, looking up at the birds flying in the blue sky like they had personally insulted her “my art book isn’t too badly messed up” she sighed, opener book “I overreacted I guess”
Jay looked down at Leo, who was just a bit shorter than her, she was slightly surprised that he was shorter than her. Jay’s mum had predicted she would have a growth spurt over the summer but Jay didn’t mind too much about her hight. She could always just wear huge platform boots.
“huh, you’re short”

When Jay ran to walk beside Leo, he was surprised. When apologized, or tried to, he almost started to wonder whether Jay has split personality syndrome.
Oh, she said ''unfuck.'' Nevermind, she's fine in the head.
''Yeah, yeah, I get the point. But, just to make you practice, you can say, ''I am deeply sorry for swearing.'' It's not that hard to say.'' He said, smiling brightly. Leo could not believe his monologue worked. Okay, his monologues worked often, courtesy of his mom, but he had to admit, that particular one was cringe.
That's when everything went sideways.
''huh, you're short.'' She said, looking down at him.
Short. Did she just call him short? Oh, no. Leo was insecure about that. Especially when a girl, whom he had gotten to apologise, was the one who pointed it out. Okay, it was true, but there was absolutely no need to point that out.
He looked at Jay in the eyes incredulously. ''Okay, one minute, you're apologizing, and now you're body shaming me? Okay, maybe not body shaming...uhh...height shaming! Don't height shame me!'' He huffed, and looked down at his foot, while standing a bit straighter, in the hopes of seeming a little taller. Should he stand on his toes. No, that would just make her tease him even more. ''Besides, I'm a metamorph, I'll be able to manipulate my height someday! So, uh....shut up!''
