Cheryl had come to this looking for answers and for support. When she got there she thought she was late. "Umm.. am I late? Sorry if I am." She found a corner to stand in more or less. She didn't want to start a conversation with someone just yet. After a while, she moved around a little bit saying hi to someone by waving shyly. Everyone was saying their name, pronouns, house, and sexuality. She assumed that she should say those simple things as an introduction as well. She thought that it would be a good way to help her relieve some tension and to be a bit calmer. She decided to go next. "Hi I'm Cheryl. My pronouns are She/Her but it's fine if you say He/Him or They/Them. I am bisexual and I am in the house of Slytherin." After Cheryl said what she wanted to say, the clipboard got passed to her. She signed it and passed it on to the closest person to her. She then looked around the room and smiled. She was with people just like her. As she was looking around the room, a cute girl not too far from her. She decided to at least talk to her. Cheryl went up to the girl. "Hi, your name is Vales right? I'm Cheryl. Nice to meet you." Cheryl stuck out her hand hoping the girl would reply or shake her hand. She hoped that she wasn't making the girl uncomfortable. She really wanted to talk to her without being thought of as weird. Her mind was racing with thoughts. Maybe she was too eager to talk to someone. She took a deep breath and calmed herself. She looked at the girl and waited for an answer. Hopefully, she didn't ruin any chances of a possible friendship.

Miko smiled at Rowan when he asked if he would take a walk with him. Well he didn't really ask that but close enough. He nodded at the question, still smiling and then randomly hugged him for no noticeable reason. The Hufflepuff's eyes widened as he backed up off Rowan. "Er, I am so sorry about that. Unless you liked it then that's cool too." He told the other.

The boy couldn't believe after they were acting cool he just went and hugged Rowan. So much for being suddle he thought. Clearly Miko was not very good with this kind of stuff, but at least he tried. He was blushing like crazy it looked like he turned into a tomato. The Gryffindor was a bit red too but not as red as Miko which was good but also embarrassing. The young boy really enjoyed Rowan's company but he felt like he was screwing it up. Besides, he was already like this near normal people how the back was he supposed to survive near the Gryffindor?! 

Anyways, it was really rude of the girl that had bumped into hum to dunk the robes. She just destroyed a nice gesture, at least in his eyes.

Phoebe McCrary waited outside the door, afraid to take the first step. As an 11-year-old witch, she had never known about this side of the mind. It was mainly because she had never been taught this kind of topic. Phoebe stood outside for over half an hour, unsure of whether or not she should enter.

Taking a deep breath, she opened the door. She had hoped she didn't catch anyone's attention. For now, she just wanted to study the fellow club members. She wouldn't feel comfortable if more than half of them seemed to be hostile. After standing and watching the different groups of people, she decided it was a safe environment. After taking a few awkward shuffles further into the room, trying to not bump into anyone.

Phoebe cleared her throat, preparing to speak. She didn't know if anyone was listening to her, but she didn't seem to mind about that.

"I'm Phoebe McCrary," she said with a slightly raised voice, "I'm, uh, only 11, so I haven't really put much thought into which gender I'm attracted to. I do, however, support the ones who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, so I thought I would join. I'm in the Slytherin house, and my pronouns are she/her," she finished, clenching her hands. Noticing a clipboard being passed around and multiple signing it, she stood in her spot, waiting for the clipboard to be passed to her.

In the end, the clipboard passed her three times before she was able to snatch it from someone's hands to sign it. After signing it, she passed it onto someone else, continuing to stand in her place as she observed the fellow members.

Shoot. Shoot shoot shoooooooooooott she was extremely late. No, she's going to be judged, oh god no please no. She stood in front of the door, mind racing. Come on, you are thinking too much. This is an accepting community, it's an LGBTQIA+ club for goodness sakes. She opened the door timidly, not knowing what to do. She looked around the room. She recognized some people in the room. Rowan, for one. Everyone was sitting together. She saw a girl with blue hair run by her. She raised an eyebrow but brushed it off. She closed the door behind her, and it made a noise which she hoped no one would mind. She timidly called out. "H-hi. Is it ok if I join this club? I'm sorry I'm so late....." she said, scared. Her eyes dropped to the ground. God, this was such a bad idea. "My name is Min-seo Kim, and I'm a Slytherin first year. My pronouns are she and her, and my sexuality is bisexual." She said timidly. She signed the clipboard and handed to the person closest to her. She took a deep breath. She was fine, she will be okay. Just a bit nervous, that's all.

Not only had the male accepted to go on a walk with the odd fairy boy, but he had hugged him too. And ontop of that, the girl apologized and returned the robes. 
Who was going to wake him up?
Rowan blinked a few times, the blush in sharp contrast with his pale skin. 
“I-“
Then the girl was leaving. Priorities. He would get time with the male but not her.
“Thank you!”
He called after her, before turning back to Miko.
“I’m- um- heh- sorry, she was going to leave so I...”
There was no use in explaining himself, he was just rambling at this point. 
His lips quirked up a bit in a meek smile.
“Yeah. It’s fine.”
He paused, studying Miko for a moment or two. Then on pure instinct, he purred, 
“Just a hug though? I don’t know if I should be disappointed or relieved.” 
As he pulled his gaze away to the robe on the floor, he fully processed what he had said. Gods above and below, he actually uttered that sentence out loud.
THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THOUGHTS YOU KEEP DEEP IN YOUR MIND AND NEVER SAY!
The blush darkened, but his meek little smile turned into a grin as he picked up the robe from the floor. Still a little wet, but not the worst.
“Shall we?”
The frenchie motioned to the door, before slipping past the crowd, and outside, pulling the robe on and flicking up its hood. 
Oh he was going to have a heart attack at least once this evening if it kept up like this. He was much too shy for his own good- so why of all the times did he feel the need to finally speak his mind then?
He was never going to hear the end of this once he curled back up into his shy little ball, which he could already feel happening. 
His blush darkened and he hid his face in his ringed hands, a nervous little giggle escaping from him as silver  began glinting with rain water.
Keep cool Rowan, keep cool. 

Miko smiled so brightly it seemed like the sun by now. He was eager to go on the walk with Rowan, that was gonna be really fun! The girl apologized to the other and even tried his robes some! This must be a mighty good day for Rowan, it sure was for the Hufflepuff. 

The boy put the hood over his head and got his hair out his eyes. This is going to be fun! Miko thought to himself. At least he didn't blurt out all of his thoughts like the other boy. If he had done that, one of his fathers would've smacked him. Most likely that would be Alexander, his step-dad. Leo would've been proud but also kind of disgusted that Miko spoke his mind.

The boy came to a halt. He hadn't told his family that he was bisexual. What would Milo think? He was always the meaner one and he was straighter than a pencil! The twin would probably pick on him about it or something. Hopefully his parents would stop Milo, but what if they would never believe Miko? The boy would be all alone on it probably, with nobody to help. Wait, there would be someone for him. One Gryffindor boy could help and that was Rowan, he would always have Miko's back!

Rowan lowered his hands and took a breath before beginning to walk.
He could see something was bothering the Hufflepuff, but he couldn’t pin down exactly what, though he stopped in the middle of his stride. He seemed to glance at him at the end though and look a bit more hopeful. So maybe it wasn’t anything negative about him..?

“Is everything alright, mon amour?” 

He asked in that ever soothing voice, sliding a bit closer to him, like he would be able to hear his thoughts if he was closer. The hint of french accent came out again in his slight concern. 

He reached out, brushing the back of his hand with his fingertips, a little reassuring touch, but nothing too audacious. Cool metal kissed his hand as Rowan’s rings brushed against his hands as well. 

His flower crown was crooked on his head, though Rowan ignored it for the moment. There were more pressing matters. His concern was on Miko at the moment, making sure he was okay.
And it was making Rowan a bit nervous, in all honesty. He was wondering if he had said something wrong. Was he already regretting going on a walk with him..? 

Please don’t let that be the case. 

He nodded, "Uh, yeah it's just...my brother. I haven't told my family I'm y'know..not straight. What if he picks on me about it, Rowan?" Miko asked him, clearly worried. His reassuring touch calmed the boy down a bit but he was still a bit scared. Maybe the other guy could help him out?

Hopefully Milo wasn't that much of a jerk, but maybe he was. Which made him think, if Rowan ever met Milo, would he be able to tell the two apart? Would it be difficult for him, or could he automatically figure out which was which. To be fair, Miko did have a flame looking scar and Milo didn't so it would be easier. Still, did the twins have similar personalities? Was Miko also apart of the douche club, or just his twin brother? 

Even if Rowan and Miko got in a relationship when they got older, would it stay? Or would the Gryffindor leave him on the side of the road like a piece of garbage. The other boy seemed like he really wouldn't do it, but people change. Miko sure did, he went from a complete troll to being a bit kinder and more aware of his surroundings.

It revealed Rowan that he wasn’t the issue. Though it concerned him that his brother may be a problem. 
“Ah. The age old issue. If it makes you feel any betted, I haven’t told my father yet either.”
He thought for half a second. Saying he would beat his brother up probably wasn’t the best approach. As well as the fact that Rowan wouldn’t default to violence.
“You have nothing to worry about while I’m here.” 
Was all the explanation he got. Miko would see how much of a lion he could be when angry. It rarely happened, but when it did... it wasn’t typical anger. It was quite, and deadly. Not just all bark. He made promises, not threats. 
Rowan noticed the odd little scar for the first time, now that he was this close. A smile touched his lips again. 
“You have a curious little flame on your forehead, mon amour. Where did you get it? Or should not I bother asking?”
The Frenchie reached up to brush the hair out of his face, placing his thumb on the scar for a moment, before taking a step back, blushing lightly.
His speech patterns were odd at times. He mixed the french terms like mon amour in with some odd English. Like ‘a curious little flame’.
He was odd, but... maybe that’s what made him likable. He definitely wasn’t your typical gryffindor, that was for sure.
And like hell he would leave him out like trash. He was already getting flustered over the smallest things, like being close. If anything, he would be even more protective of him as time went on.
Rowan fidgeted with his rings, still blushing slightly as he went over his words. Gods he was gushy. He needed to stop before it got weird and cheesy. He didn’t want to creep the Hufflepuff out at all.

He continued walking and smiled at Rowan. "Some guy just cast a random spell on me is all. Also thanks." Miko's Scottish accent got thicker as he spoke for some unknown reason. Hopefully Rowan could still understand him.

If the other had any family issues they would feel his roar. Miko has the soul of a lion through and through. He's brave and wise, very protective as well. If anybody messed with the Gryffindor they would feel his wrath. He doesn't just nip at people, he bites with a lasting force. Honestly the Hufflepuff's patronus would probably be either a loyal and strong wolf or a brave and wise lion. Mess with the match, you get the fire pretty much explains Miko.

When it comes down to houses, he figured he should've been a Gryffindor due to his hard head and protectiveness. Then again his loyalty bites back, a strong badger sums it up. Honestly either will do a hybrid would definently be Gryffinpuff, only wit a bit of Hufflepuff in him but mainly Gryffindor. Obviously Rowan was the same, especially upon first encounters. It seemed as if those were important on his outlook, after all you can't have a first encounter twice!
