Under the bright moonlight

Kai. Her name was "Kai". Anna hadn't heard that name before. It was a lovely name.
—I'm... I'm Anna. Anna Jasmine Blackberry. My parents are Jacob and Bethany Blackberry.
She did a quick bow with her head and spoke rather softly, as opposed to her usual elegant curtsy and firm introductory speech. After saying her name, Anna lowered her head to think. She heard much about Hogwarts from her parents; that it had fun, that it had culture, that it had diversity and people and parties. But she didn't know coming to this place would create tender moments like this, too. Since when did she lower her guard? Since when had she felt so at ease next to this girl, the girl who called herself "Kai", as if they're connected by soul, even though they've only just met? Anna didn't know that this, too, was a part of Hogwarts.
"When was the last time I felt this kind of peace...?", Anna wondered to herself. It was hard for her to be at ease in this new, crowded place, so this feeling of calmness that struck her body and caressed her soul was more important than anything.
But it was so cold.
Peace alone couldn't warm her soul in this cold air, and her penguin didn't do much to warm anything beyond her arms.
A soft noise of cloth made Anna raise her gaze a bit, and look at Kai. Her mind froze when she saw the blonde holding out her cloak. She didn't quite know what she felt, but she did know her cheeks felt tingly. How weird. Not only had Kai noticed Anna's discomfort to the cold, but had also offered her own cloak to her. It didn't feel quite the same as being given a blanket by her father in starry nights... And it's not like Anna hadn't read about situations like these in books, but the fact it actually happened, in a moment like this, dazed the black-haired, who took the blonde's cloak with shaky hands (was she cold? Nervous? Both? No one can tell) and held it tightly, but didn't immediately wear it. Instead, she looked up at Kai again, inquisitive, confused.
"I... You're telling me to wear this? A-are you sure?"
Her voice was soft, and she didn't know how to act in front of such a unexpected situation. Oh, that cloak felt so warm...
For a moment, looking into the girl's lovely green eyes, Anna forgot the coldness of the air, the breeze that brushed against both girl's faces.

It wasn't the first time Anna heard her name was lovely, as her grandmother occasionally would say as such, and her mother said it frequently. Bethany was the one to choose Anna's name, and repeated it times enough that the daughter remembered the full intent behind it--"Anna" meant "grace", and Bethany's favorite flowers are jasmines. Anna always thought it was quite the sweet origin for her name, and and frequently thought about it. Still, hearing again her name was "lovely" caused a small, proud smile to appear in her face.
It was curious to the little Blackberry that Kai didn't mind the cold. Anna had little exposition to the cold (and also any continuous discomfort for that matter), so it was strange that someone else didn't mind. Then again, her younger brother, Oliver, didn't usually mind when the weather got too hot; something she could never understand, as she'd spend those days melting on the floor, hating each second of the day. "Maybe some people are just more resistant different weathers...", she thought, and put the cloak a bit too loosely on her own shoulders.
Kai Adair Draxon.
So that was her full name, huh. Unique, singular, much unlike Anna's. But that didn't make her feel bad by comparison; no, no, the thought didn't even cross her mind. She was just interested in a name that had never reached her ears before this moment. Kai's name felt mysterious, mysterious like the legends of a dragon that hides all of its treasures and itself in a deep, dark cave that no human could ever reach. Ever wondered if the dragon's actually just hiding candies and a plushie?
"I like your name too, Kai!", Anna said, before the blonde suddenly made another question. "That was unexpected...", Anna thought. More important than that, however, was that she LOVED reading. Most of the library in her house was dedicated only to her father and herself, both avid readers who spent large quantities of time reading for long, uninterrupted hours. However, Jacob typically didn't talk a lot about what he read... Well, more like, he didn't communicate about what he read. Much like Anna, Jacob is autistic, but much unlike Anna, Jacob is non-verbal, so it's not like he talks at all... But he has other means of communication. Still, he didn't particularly care for debating about the morality and philosophy of the books he just read, as he'd much prefer processing everything that happened and see it in different points of view by himself, and hardly took these matters to discuss with other people in the house. On the other hand, upon putting her hand on a book, Anna would get so excited that not even her lively mother or her bubbly brother were capable of withstanding the yapping. Due to that, Jacob was often the victim of his daughter's endless talking, though he occasionally had to pretend she wasn't there in order of not going mad.
"I do! I really like reading. Do you like reading, Kai?"
Her smile grew larger and brighter, and her eyes showed nothing but sheer excitement at the simple mention of books, and she forgot the deep reflection she had been going through for the last several minutes. Ah, the joys such a simple question can create...

Anna looked at Kai intently as the letter adjusted the cloak on the dark haired's shoulders. So gentle. So attentive. Those words echoed in Anna's head as she heard Kai talk. So she met a fellow book lover... How lucky!
Kai seemed to relax a little, perhaps a little too much... A large smile had fled her lips, a teeth smile, a happy smile. But not a cute or bright one, no, Kai's smile was full of darkness and buried truths, and her canine teeth were just a little too sharp to be your average smile. Anna's eyes widened, as she hadn't realized that Kai hadn't smiled before until now.
The blonde suddenly step away and let go of the cloak she lent Anna, causing its left side to simply fall away from the blue-eyed's shoulder. The shorter of both girls (both short girls, mind you) walked a step closer to Kai, amused of all things, by such sudden withdrawal.
"Kai?" , she called out, but didn't immediately speak again.
"...Your smile is weird.", she said, with a genuine tone of happiness that didn't fit her words. "...I loved it. Kai, can you smile again? I like your teeth. You look so pretty smiling..."
If "I like your teeth" isn't the weirdest compliment, it sure gets in the top five. The little Blackberry, despite having this bizarre choice of words with a lot of room for misunderstandings, had truthfulness and joy in her voice.
Kai's teeth weren't exactly normal, but neither were Anna's, whose front teeth were just a bit bigger than they should be. However, all she heard about it were how it made her look like a cute little rabbit... Of course, her uncle and brother teased her for it, and of course, not much afterwards they'd also complain that her bigger teeth made it easier for her to bite them.
Anna reached out for Kai's shoulder.

Anna chuckled when Kai smiled again. What a strange smile, a different smile, one that she never even imagined that existed until this moment. It was entrancing to the shorter girl.
"You really DO look prettier when you smile, hehe!", declared she, just as impressed as the first time the blonde smiled. She was still holding Kai's shoulder when a thought crossed her mind: "Is she really not cold? Isn't it unhealthy to stay in this weather without anything warm to cover you?". That thought made her uncomfortable, even though Kai really wasn't bothered by the cold. Because of that, Anna took the side of the cloak that had fallen away from her shoulder, and put it on Kai's shoulders, still keeping the rest of the cloak on her own shoulders.
"There you go! Now we're both warm!", the shorter happily announced. The cape was, of course, not mad for two people, so it didn't fully the bodies of either girl, but it was enough to cover their arms and shoulders. A win-win or a lose-lose, depending on whose point of view we're talking about. For Anna, it was a win-win; both of them were warm and close. Close, as they were now sharing the same cloak, under the same shining stars, in the breeze of the same cold night. Anna kept her left hand on Kai's shoulder, and with her free one, she pointed at the moon, high and radiant; in fact, it was in its highest moment of the night, which means it should be around midnight.
"Look at that, Kai! The moon looks so bright tonight..! The night sky is so beautiful...", said the girl with a smile. She looked to Kai's green eyes, then to her bare fe and back to the big, glowing moon, and its rays that extended endlessy and covered the entirety of Hogwarts, bathing all of its students in a poetic light. But right now, in this very moment, Anna didn't care at all about the other students of Hogwarts. All that mattered was that the moon stood above them and gifted them the abstract joy of philosophy and reflection, as well as the gift of having met each other in a time like this. "I wish I could stay here forever...Don't you?"
