Kaitlyn was minding her own business in the corridor. She had safely stopped walking in the corridor when she spotted an excellent architectural design near the ceiling. She could have sworn that there was something either etched into the wall or maybe it was built that way. ‘Ugh, too bad I don’t have my sketchpad here with me currently! Why did I decide to leave it in my dorm? And the Slytherin Common Room is a little too far for me to run back to. I’ll have to come back at some point,’ she thought.

Just as Kaitlyn was about to turn on her heel to head off to the library, she saw a girl walking up to her. ‘I think I recognize this girl … That’s right, I think she’s in Slytherin, like me. And her name … I know this: it begins with an A. Anna … Abigail … Amanda ….’ Thankfully, she didn’t have to mentally guess for too long as Achlys introduced herself to her. Achlys then confirmed they were housemates and asked her to help with finding some butterflies.

Kaitlyn waited two beats after Achlys finished talking, just in case. A shy smile formed on her face. “Hi,” she greeted her quietly. “It’s n-nice to formally m-meet you, Achlys. You l-likely already k-know I’m Kaitlyn Connor. I do r-recognize you from our c-common room. And, I’m s-sorry, did you say b-butterflies?” She asked, curious. “A-and, um ... sure! I’ll help. Where d-did you see them l-last?” She asked.

If Achlys wasn't so distraught she'd ruffle Kaitlyn's hair, but all she can do is smile in relief. "Thank you so much! I last seen them when I was wondering the corridors but I'd heard something behind me, I turned around for just a moment but when I turned back they were gone." Achlys's voice voice cracked, "How could I have been so careless?" Achlys inclines her heard toward another corridor and gently grabs Kaitlyn's wrist to lead her into the mentioned corridor, Eve and Elsibeth are blue morphos, it wouldn't be hard to spot vivid blue wings. She clears her throat and attempts to make small talk, "How are you enjoying Hogwarts so far? I think it's wonderful, I didn't know magic existed until someone brought me my Hogwarts letter, I thought someone was playing a trick on me." She smiles at the memory of her parents and siblings' faces when they found out that it wasn't a trick and that Achlys does in fact have magic. She is snapped out of her musing as she realized that she is holding Kaitlyn's arm, she flushed in embarrassment as she lets go a bit suddenly. She muttered an apology as she unconsciously runs head hand through her hair, a nervous tick of her's when she's frustrated or embarrassed. She and Kaitlyn round a corner where into a hall that has a few 3rd years from Ravenclaw, to her and possibly the other girl's amusement some of them coo at them, I wonder if that's what us first years will be like when we are 3rd years, it would be odd since we were in their position only two years before.

Kaitlyn smiled shyly at Achlys, as the other Slytherin girl explained where she last saw the butterflies. ‘If I have to be honest, this conversation sounds very cute … I imagine that I’d be this distraught if I lost Demeter in these corridors. Then again, who am I to judge why Achlys saw the butterflies here? This appears to be the first time this has happened … or at least I hope it was the first time.’ She pushed a stray strand of her brunette hair behind her ear.

“Y-you’re welcome … O-okay, we can s-start at that corridor, t-then. Don’t worry, w-we’ll find them,” Kaitlyn responded, hoping to calm Achlys. She frowned slightly at Achlys’ comment about being careless. “I d-don’t think you’re c-careless, Achlys; this could h-happen to anyone,” she gave her fellow Slytherin a kind smile. A light flush bloomed on her cheeks when Achlys grabbed her arm to lead her to the specific corridor. ‘I … don’t know what to make of this, we could’ve just walked together. Best not to think too much about it. Achlys is worried,’ she thought.

“I’m e-enjoying it so far. We s-still have a few m-more months left of o-our first year, b-but it’s been going w-well. I didn’t k-know about magic e-either. It took a few h-hours of explanation f-for my family and m-me to understand this c-concept of magic and Hogwarts. D-did you … um … leave behind a-any friends from b-before coming h-here? I did. I t-think about them e-every day,” she continued sadly. “I h-have a picture of me with t-them in my dorm,” she explained.

Kaitlyn noticed Achlys’ flush, as she released her hand. She still said nothing about it, but her cheeks flushed again. As the girls turned the corner, they heard a coo at them. ‘What does that even mean?’ Kaitlyn thought. She frowned and gave a glare at the immaturity. Not wanting to look at the offending students, she turned back to Achlys. “Do y-you mind telling me w-what the butterflies l-look like, so I k-know what to l-look for?”
