A New Chapter
@Nico Cirillo Sorry that I have not coded this at all! I'm pretty busy - but I'll do it later
Clutching her wand and bag tightly, she waded through the sea of students, all sporting badges, scarves or house crests on their robes. She had hers on, with a silky snake embroidered on it. She had briskly plaited her hair into a plain french braid, completed with a winter tan scrunchie.
Her black hair was pretty silky, and it hung softly on her shoulder. Her eyes were cool and pleasent - she had just finished a particularly difficult Transfiguration Lesson with good results. She had planned on a study session later on, which she admitted was pretty usual for her. The Library; it opened new doors to her - which would come very useful if she was a duelist, to which she had applied for.
Her best friend, Caoimhe, was no doubt either having a free period or yet another class...she had been lucky to have a few together, but Transfiguration meant that she was surrounded by classmates, have of which she did not know.
She was always in a very neat state, generally with a black skirt that fell down to her knees and pristine white stockings that had been a gift from her mother. Duvessa was lost in her thoughts about this, the particular birthday, until she collided with someone with a crash.
"Aaah!" She panicked, and then whipped her head around, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going."

"Transfiguration... Honestly, just the word scares me," Nico thought as he was leaving the classroom. Transfiguration was his worst class, and he was normally a straight-A student.
Nico stumbled his way through the overwhelming amount of people, tripping over their feet and muttering apologies while trying not to fall. "Why do they all just stand in groups wasting my time trying to get through, instead of going to fraternize in places that are meant for that on their own time?!?"
He sighed and kept walking through the crowd of students. After a few moments, he stood on his tippy toes to see over the crowd looking for a safe spot to aim for. With his last ounce of luck, he happened to see a corner that only had people's shadows filling the space.
With exhausted blindness, Nico made his way to the small space. But of course, the world knows that Nico is never allowed to have peace. And so, being only a few meters away from freedom, a girl crashed into him. And as he hit the floor, he mumbled, "Well. Isn't this just lovely?"
The girl spun around to see Nico sitting on the floor with his head tilted back against the wall in exhaustion. As she was rambling on about being sorry and blah blah blah. Nico sat there and looked at her.
"A Slytherin, but I doubt I've ever met her. Attractive, but not enough that it makes me want to vomit. Why are all the people I know girls?"
When she finished talking Nico looked at her with his eyebrows raised and said, "You done yet? Or are you just taking a breath and about to start again?"
He stood up and was glad to see that he was at least an inch or two taller than the girl. He extended his hand with four silver rings on it and said, "I'm Nico, of the pure-blooded family that is Cirillo. And you are...?"

Duvessa blushed crimson as he interupted her. He did ask if she was done yet with all that talking, or about to start off again - this puzzled Duvessa. I saw thats what people do in the corridors, then nod politely and leave... she pondered, but came to the conculsion that everyone was different.
Interacting with: @Nico Cirillo
She waited quickly for a couple of second for him to insult her for her clumsiness - but it didn't come. Instead, her introduced himself. He said his name was Nico, and by the look of it, he came from a noble Pure-Blood family. This pleased Duvessa for some unknown reason and she managed to smile at him politely.
She shook her hand with him timidly, and introduced herself as well.
"I'm Duvessa Nyx Ember, a First Year Slytherin. The Embers are a long, ancient line of purebloods....Slytherins or Ravenclaws. I take after them." She said with an unnoticable hint of pride as she followed her gaze to her emerald and silver tie gleaming perfectly.
She looked at him, and before nodding politely, she walked on through the corridor, shooting one last backward glance at him. She couldn't help but admire his unique personality - he stood out from the sea of black and white.

"Ah, a fellow pure-blood. That's respectable."
As the girl introduced herself, Nico couldn't help but stare into her eyes. They were as dark as a cloudy night, the best kind of night. And her long, dark hair shimmered in the small stream of sunlight that could reach through the crowd. She was pretty. Not that it mattered to Nico. He didn't have time to be thinking about girls or anything.
Her voice was clear and crisp, even over the noisy crowd Nico could hear her perfectly. When she finished speaking, there was a slight pause and then she gave him a small nod and walked off.
"Duvessa... How unique. Not that it matters, I'll likely never talk to her again," Nico rambled to himself.
As Duvessa walked away, she glanced back at him for just a moment, and for the first time in a while, Nico smiled.
"Damn it, THIS is why I don't talk to girls...."
As he picked up his bag from the ground, Nico thought to himself, "Maybe I will talk to her again... We are both Slytherins and have classes together. So why couldn't I..."
And with that, he walked through the crowd to his next class, where he, with no doubt, would be too distracted to focus on the lesson.
