Athena Addison was a second-year student at Ilvermony, having just gotten back from summer break. On the first day of her new term, she found herself in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, looking for an empty seat. She was a good student, judging from her grades last year she was a near O student. She sat down on a seat in the middle of the class, the seats beside her unoccupied. Before long a tall, athletic boy named Kierce with tousled brown hair and barely visible freckles on his nose sat down beside her. Athena turned slightly pink. The boy was a bit cute. A few minutes later, a beautiful girl just below average height, with hair that seemed to change color depending on the light and striking hazel eyes sat beside her. Athena felt butterflies in her stomach, how lucky could she be? She was sitting beside 2 very attractive people. She looked down at her notebook and sketched a mountain and waited for the class to start. The was usually extroverted, but in this situation she was speechless. Athena's heart raced as she sat there between them. She had never seen them before and knew nothing about them, but the attraction was no doubt. The boys dark brown eyes held a charm she couldn't resist, and the girls pretty smile and wavy, chameleon-like hair left her enchanted. As the class began, Athena struggled to focus on the lesson. Her thoughts were consumed by the two captivating individuals on either side of her. She couldn't help but steal glances at them, admiring his athletic build and her effortless elegance. She waited for them to say something first.

Everly stepped into her first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the year and she broke into a wide smile. This was one of her favorite classes, and she'd missed it over the summer and was glad to be back. She began to look for an empty seat and eventually found one next to a girl who also appeared to be a second year, like Everly was. Being the social, extroverted person she was, she had no problem sitting by someone she didn't know. She was all for making new friends and talking to people.

She began walking toward the desk and when she made it sat down. She smiled at the girl who looked at her once and quickly peered down at her notebook and began to draw something. She did not look like she wanted to engage in a conversation right now so Everly did not start one.

When the lesson started, they turned their attention to the professor. But Everly could see out of the corner of her eye the girl glancing between Everly and the boy on the girl's other side. Finally, when the professor stopped speaking, Everly turned to the girl and introduced herself. "Hi! I'm Everly, nice to meet you." she said in a very cheery voice, and then left room in the sentence for the girl to introduce herself.

───── The summer break had ended, marking the start of the new term. The break had lasted longer than Kierce had hoped. After being at Ilvermorny surrounded by witches and wizards for a year, the muggle world seemed to have lost all its glory, colorless to the brown haired boy. The new school year had commenced, and even the lectures the professors voiced, which Kierce had found monotonous last year, felt refreshing to him.

Having just strode into the vast space of the Defense Against the Dark Arts room, Kierce stood there for a few seconds, gazing around for a place to sit. Finding an open seat next to a girl, he sat next to her. Cocking his head slightly so that he could get a better view of the witch next to him, he gave a fraction of a smile when the two made eye contact. She had a mix of brown and blonde hair, and light freckles on her face. His heart raced slightly, and he was suddenly overcome with an unfamiliar sensation. Feeling his cheeks heat up, he quickly looked away.

Waiting for his heart rate to recede back to its normal pace, he rearranged the items on his desk. A short minutes later, another girl with dark brown hair sat nearby, Kierce giving her a subtle nod of acknowledgement. Waiting for the lesson to start, Kierce toyed with his hair occasionally. When class began, he tried his best to focus on the professor's words, but he could feel her gaze shifting from him to the brunette. Trying not to think much of it, the other girl introduced herself as Everly, which Kierce jumped after, "And I'm Kierce," he remarked, his voice sounding smoother than he felt.
