Bloody Skirt

Keith asked about Beatrice's last name, not knowing how much pressure that name gave her. She took a deep breath as he finished his sentence.

»It's Dupont. My Family on my Mother's side is from France tho, but my Dad's scottish.« She answered him.

When Beatrice asked about his Aunt, he smiled and told her that she married a muggle named Brenda, they are lesbians, whatever that means and he lives with them. Beatrice started to smile as he talked, then he asked if she had friends yet. Keith walked towards the exit and waited for Beatrice to answer. She felt rather awkward answering that because she wasn't sure herself.

»Uh, well.. I'm not sure?« She said as they walked out of the Lavatory. He gave her a side glance. Gosh Beatrice, that surely sounded weird, not a good time to show someone how bad you are at making friends.

»I mean, not that I haven't talked to People, I'm just not sure they are my friends, I mean making friends is a bit hard.« she furrowed her eyebrows, realizing she had now told him what the voice in her head literally just told her not to say.

»Eh- my common room is down there.« She pointed at the stairs, feeling stupid because Keith obviously knew that they had to go down to get to the Slytherin common room.

»Sorry, I'm not usually that awkward.« Beatrice tried to fix the mess of words she had just said but couldn't help realizing that since she's at Hogwarts, she actually is awkward a lot of times and her sentences are a mess sometimes.

Keith noticed she looked uncomfortable while talking about her family, "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I think here soon my last name will be changed to be changed to my aunt's last name, Carson."

Keith walked with her till they got to the Slytherin entrance. "You can count me as a friend, if you want. Anyway, I'll run to my common room while you get cleaned up, then I'll meet you in the um..." Keith paused for a moment, thinking. "The small hall, yeah, that'll work. You do know where that is right?"

Keith smiled, "This is my first time socializing with other wizard kids willingly, normally my parents pay people to have their kids hang out with me, wizard kids. My parents were those kind of pure-bloods. I'm nothing like them, and I'm glad. What's your opinion on muggle-borns? I think they are cool, and the awesome things they come up with. I'm sorry, I shouldn't keep you any longer, you're probably ready to go clean up. I'm going to go now, I will see you later." Keith said, then turned to walk away.

He walked to the stairs, to go back up towards his common room.

Keith told Beatrice that his last name is most likely going to be changed to Carson. His aunts last name. He also apologized for making her Uncomfortable, which she felt bad for because she didn't want him to feel bad. He wasn't the one that made things hard at home. Her parents were at fault. And their weird obsession with the two wars and how Voldemort was "right". She hated it when her parents talked like that. Beatrice snapped out of her thoughts when they got to the entrance of her Common room.

"You can count me as a friend, if you want. Anyway, I'll run to my common room while you get cleaned up, then I'll meet you in the um..." Beatrice's lips formed to a smile while Keith thought about where they should meet. A Friend she thought. That stupid smile won't disappear now. Then Keith finished his thoughts. "The small hall, yeah, that'll work. You do know where that is right?" He asked. Beatrice nodded her head.

»Yes I do. Mistook it for the Great Hall several times in the first few days.« She laughs and Keith smiles at her.

He tells her that this is the first time he hangs out with another wizard kid willingly and how his Parents usually pay others to hang out with him. That hit close to Beatrice's home and she gave him a knowing smile. She can't help but notice that he says his parents were those kind of Purebloods. Then he says he's nothing like them, which he is proud of. I hope I'm not like my Parents Beatrice thinks but her Mother immediately appears in her head, scolding her for that thought.

He asks about muggle Borns and what she thinks of them before apologizing to have kept her this long, saying he will go now and already turning on his heel.

»Uh, I do find muggle borns, or muggles for that matter, quiet interesting and nice.« she basically yelled after him as he walked to the stairs. »See you later!« was the last thing she managed as she watched him walk up the stairs and disappear.

She turned around. Still a bit flustered from how he had just walked away. A giggle escaped her. »What an Interesting guy.« She said to herself before walking into her common room.
