Meet Me There PV Bridget

This had been an odd surprise. Apparently Bridget wanted to meet him today because she had something to say to him. He was not entirely aware about what she wanted to tell him, but curiosity still demanded for him to go meet her anyway. She was a nice girl from what he could tell and the both of them had a couple past encounters such as a snowball fight in Hogsmeade and other things such as a game for s.w.a.g or two. Well whatever the reason was that she had wanted to meet him, it had sounded urgent or at the very least important and so he was still a little nervous despite knowing the girl. What was up? he had no idea whatsoever what could be wrong enough for her to have a chat with him like that.

Alan would walk over to one of the benches in the courtyard, with Tiger following rather close behind him as he went to sit down. The feline would immediately take this as an invite to jump into his lap and curl up between his coat. A small smile would curl around Alan's lips despite him not even being sure what would happen as soon as Bridget would arrive at the scene. Another sigh would escape Alan's lip as he went to give his cat a couple of pets and scratches below the feline's chin. This would always make Tiger purr loudly, with a rumble in his chest which in return would help Alan calm down under any circumstances.

The weather during this lovely day was quite nice as well and so the fifth year would glance into the bright blue sky and watch as a couple of lightly grayed clouds would pass by in thin strings almost shapeless and instead like a drape that would draft itself across the sky. The sun barely being visible, which was also felt. There was no sunny weather, instead a soft breezed would pull at this clothes and tousle his hair as he shifted a little bit to make it more comfortable for himself. Perhaps there was something he could do while he waited? Alan shook his head after that thought and instead kicked away a pebble that sat close to his feet, watching as it skipped across the path before disappearing into the grass at the other side. Another sigh would escape the fifth year's lips.

If he was aware that he would be able to stay on his own for a little while, he would have taken that time to practice his abilities a little bit more but like this he felt like there was no use in doing so unless he wanted to be discovered by Bridget, who would be arriving at any moment now. Instead he would take this time to let his mind wander a little as he delved deeper into his own thoughts.

Yesterday had been a little eventful, though also a lot of fun. He had gotten to meet a couple of new faces, such as Aly and so. He also had been able to reconnect or see other people he already knew from before, such as Bloom. Bridget, was someone who he had only seen for a moment as she also was participating, but they had not been sorted to the same table. Well there had also been Galton, who was always a joy to be around or something like that. The both of them had grown to be a force to be reckoned with on the duelling piste. A frown would find his way onto his face as he remembered the very last duel in which he had been a part of. It had been against Santario which had become a main concern for him since that very moment. Alan was not sure what he should take away from that with Santario. SHe had been way different from anything that he remembered from her or wished to acknowledge. There was no way that this was her. She had seemed so very different? He shook his head quickly, not really willing to spend any more thoughts on her in that very moment. It would simply just upset him and ruin his mood further. He was still very much concerned and wanted to find out what could have happened to her to cause such a shift in her character.

But for now he would have to focus on Bridget or simply anything but Santario if he wished to keep even an ounce of his own sanity. Tiger nuzzled up to him and Alan was happy for the distraction, so he began to focus on the feline some more as he began to play with him, teasing him by wiggling his finger just out of paw's reach to make the cat battle and reach for the prey. But it was always just out of reach because Alan did not want those claws to get anywhere near his skin. Though if he was being honest there had been plenty of times when he had miscalculated Tiger's agility and walked away with scratches and even a few thin scars across his fingers that were barely visible. He simply never bothered to get proper healing whenever he got a single scratch from the cat, after all he would be sitting in front of the infirmary and hospital wing constantly. If he would ever do that then Kelsey would probably hate him as a patient. Also those were tiny scratches, they would barely hurt and so Alan never ever took them seriously. If he was being honest he was surprised even that those scratches could even lead to scars at all.

When Tiger gripped his finger's after all, because he had gotten too distracted, the fifth year chuckled before dramatically trying to free his fingers by wiggling them more. "Oh no, you unruly beast, you got me after all and I have fallen prey to your claws!" he said with a giggle before looking up when he heard the sound of steps. He would twist his head around to look into the very direction from which he heard the steps coming from, seeing the familiar figure of Bridget.
