Climbing Comrades PV Quinton Lee Closed

The tree canopy gave another great rustle as the shadow came closer to where Cade stood. And suddenly a boy swung down from the upper branches, hanging upside-down from the tree. Cade gave a slight gasp in surprise. He didn't expect to see a student in the tree. But then, who else would be climbing a tree at Hogwarts? It definitely wouldn't have been Headmaster Solomon Lear. Cade scowled at his own silliness. And he looked back at the boy who now spoke to him. "Hey! Sorry, I didn't realize I had company."

Cade was impressed with the boy's agility. He watched as he gave him an upside-down wave. He grinned at the boy's peculiarity. He was small and rather good at climbing. Black hair and tanned skin. Monolid eyes framed in round glasses. He seemed to be a lot of fun. Cade could use some fun, he had a week of stressful homework. Perhaps he was meant to come across this kid.

"How'd you even get up that high?" Cade asked the boy. He looked at the tree seeing no visible footholds. He almost wanted to try it out for himself. But Cade wasn't to be described as active. He rarely did any sports, preferring the strengthening of the mind than the body. But that didn't stop him from wanting to try. Forgetting about his sketchbook in the grass, he made his way to the base of the maple and examined it for possible low branches or footholds.

Cade beamed when the boy offered help. He seemed very bubbly and bright. It felt good and refreshing to have someone so nice and friendly around. Some students could be very rude and untrustworthy. Cade watched as the boy expertly moved around the tree branches. He suddenly remembered his manners.

"I'm Cade Darkbound, by the way. Sorry I failed to mention that before." He smiled a little. Cade was almost always forgetting to introduce himself nowadays. Life has become so busy for him, that he forgets the small details of greetings. Life around Hogwarts could be that way. There were surprises around every corner after all. "I think I might see a way up there." Cade spotted a small crevice to boost his way up to the first lower hanging branch. He made his way over to it and carefully started up the trunk of the tree. He was almost there when he slipped a little bit. He clung to the branch above him, eyes wide in surprise. "Er... a little help please!" He called to the boy. Cade's ears went pink, of course, he messed up in front of his potential friend. He hoped the boy didn't see him as some sort of try-hard.

Quickly, Cade took Quinn's hand. Holding tightly to him he managed to find better footing than the last time around. He carefully climbed up with the Gryffindor's aid. "Thank you." Cade gasped for breath. Now perched on a branch, Cade could see the fantastic view of the castle as well as the beautiful green grounds that surrounded it. "I can see why you spend time up in trees. This view is truly amazing." Cade craned his neck to see the black lake. He could just spot a tentacle rising up from the surface as if it were waving hello.

"How's Hogwarts been treating you, then? I think the classes are all right, don't you?"Cade asked gently. He was now attempting to be polite and get to know his new climbing comrade. He never really made a friend so unconventionally. But yet again, this was Hogwarts. Almost every meeting was unconventional. Cade was strongly reminded of an instance in the corridors where a girl had been trapped in the wall.

Cade clutched onto the bark of the tree, a little wary that he would fall again. The tree was cold to the touch but rough and sturdy. Even if he did fall off it wasn't too far from the ground. It only looked that way.

"How about you, how do you feel so far? Made many friends yet? I've realized a large amount of people here can be quite mean, so be careful." Cade heard Quinn ask. He looked at the boy and nodded.

"I have met a few people. I'm still deciding if I can call them friends. I haven't really had too much time to socialize, I'm afraid. You're right, there are so many strange people here. I'm lucky enough to never have an encounter as of yet." He took a hand and knocked on the branch he was sitting on. His mother believed in superstition so it wore off on him as well.

"What else do you like to do? Can't all be climbing trees." He wanted to get to know Quinn a little better. But he hoped he wasn't being too nosey. It dawned on Cade that he wasn't the best at talking. "I am a bit of a book worm. But I do play the bass." He looked away a little embarrassed about being completely boring. He hoped Quinn would see past this. Quinn seemed like a decent person that would turn a blind eye to someone's lack of hobbies.

Cade watched the students with Fanged Frisbees with more interest now that he had a better view. He had the urge to go to a joke shop and spend some coins. He wondered what Hogsmede village was like. For the first time, Cade wished he was a little older so he could have Peggy sign the permission form. He wasn't even sure she'd let him go if he was old enough. Perhaps it was best that some places of Hogwarts were kept off-limits. Most of the charm would fade if he had access to everything. He quite liked the mystery of it all.
