Finished A Trip, A Fall PV Pamela Graham

Pam decided she should head down to the kitchens. She had woken up late that morning and had practically rushed down to her first class, barely getting any time to eat. She'd never really been to the kitchens before, and today seemed like a good day to change that. And she was starving.

Her first period had been Defense. Pam really enjoyed the classes; if she was to be honest, it was one of her very favourite subjects, alongside Transfiguration and Charms. She had like a thirty minute break before her second class for the day: Potions., and she planned to make good use of the time. She mostly enjoyed potions too, although that depended a bit on her mood. Potions, she felt, was a lot like cooking. And Pam wasn't a very big fan of that.

She stopped as she noticed her open shoelaces. Pam had lost count of the number of times she had fallen on her face due to an open shoelace. She knelt down, and swiftly tied it up again, wondering if there existed a spell which could avoid shoelaces opening. As she stood up, something bumped into her feet, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw something—no,someone— fall suddenly, clearly having tripped over her feet. Pam flinched as she fell hard on the ground, Oh, that must have hurt. The person turned around with a loud exclamation and Pam noted that she was a female, "Er, are you alright?" She asked her, holding out a hand to help her up, "Are you hurt?"

She immediately felt guilty. It wasn't this person's fault. She should have been looking where she was going. As she took a closer look at the person she'd tripped on she saw that they were a girl. A fellow firstie most likely. Why is it that there are more younger kids than older kids?

She took the other girl's hand awkwardly and stood up. She didn't feel badly hurt. Most likely just a couple bruises. Besides, she always had a couple bruises. It wasn't really a big deal. Her initial reaction had been.... an overreaction "Um... yeah... to the first question.... and no to the second..... sorry for yelling at you......"

She really did feel bad. Clearly she wasn't worthy of meeting any centaurs yet.

She looked around her. The hallway had several people in it who seemed to have noticed her fall. However, most of them seemed to have moved on by now after she had gotten up. The hallway seemed to slowly be emptying. She was going to be VERY late.

She wanted to rush away to her next class, but.... she'd just tripped over this person and yelled at them for it. It felt kind of mean to just rush off. Besides. This girl had helped her up and asked if she was ok. "Umm.... what's your next class...... I'm Silva by the way....."

Pam smiled at the girl as she stood up. She seems to be a first year too, she thought. The girl looked a little uncomfortable though, Pam noted, was it because of her previous reaction? She was proved right as the girl apologized for shouting. The girl glanced around her and Pam did too, realising that a number of people had noticed the skirmish, although none of them seemed at all bothered by it. "It's fine. You didn't yell." Pam replied. She tilted her head, noticing the dust on the girl's arm, "Are you sure you're not hurt?"

Pam was getting deja vu, remembering the last time she had bumped into someone. That had not ended this well, Pam was reminded of how the three of them had argued for a while. She bit back a grin at the thought. She was decently good friends with the two other girls now.

Well, this girl seemed less hot-tempered than Eonaria had, so she wouldn't have to worry. For now, at least. She turned her attention back to the girl, who introduced herself as Silva. "Nice to meet you, Silva." She said sweetly, "I'm Pamela. People mostly call me Pam though. I've got Potions in about thirty minutes. What do you have?"

Silva really was fine. It wasn't any more of a fall than she might normally do. Besides, she'd already done some pretty embarrassing things at school.

The girl seemed unbothered by her initial anger and seemed much more concerned about whether she was hurt. She shrugged off Silva's first apology and quickly asked if she was sure that she was fine. "Yeah.... I really am... thanks..."

She'd never gotten badly injured before besides one time she got stung twice on one toe, on the same foot, on the same day, by a bunch of bees. That had been quite painful and her toe had swelled up to a ridiculous size, but she hadn't really gotten that badly injured. And she hadn't been really injured since then. Just mildly scraped up.

She smiled when the other girl introduced herself as Pamela, or Pam. "Nice to meet you too....." At Pam's next question she looked around the hallway. There did seem to be a group of people still in the halls. Apparently there were other class times. Huh. She hadn't ever realized that. She turned back to Pam "Um... I uh... have Transfiguration... like... right now..." She felt odd admitting how completely late she was going to be, but it wasn't like it mattered who knew anyways. She was going to be late and the entire class would know it.

She envied the fact that Pam had another 30 minutes before her next class. Silva's schedule probably didn't go as late in the day, but she didn't have any longer breaks throughout the day.

Speech -- Thoughts

Oh that's sad

Pam had never been a fan of back to back classes, even before she came to Hogwarts. She always liked it way better when there was some break between classes, even if it was a five minute one. But, excluding a few, most of her classes for her first year did not have a lot of breaks between them.

She didn't mind it too much though, because she enjoyed most of the classes, with a few exceptions. Pam smiled as the girl said that she had Transfiguration next. It was one of her favorite subjects. "Really? I quite like Transfiguration." She shrugged, "Well, I suppose you should leave then. Will you be late?" Pam always made it a point to get to class on time. She hated being late and was even more terrified of having attention drawn to her for the same reason.

She pouted a little. She wanted to talk to this girl a little more but clearly it wasn't meant to happen today. Perhaps another day? She hesitated for a second, but then asked, "Well, if you don't mind, maybe we could meet up some day?" She smiled slightly at Silva. I hope she doesn't find it awkward or something.

Silva wanted to get to know Pam better. She seemed really nice and Silva really regretted having to rush off so quickly, but class was about to start and she needed to go. She promised herself, however, that she'd find a way to talk to Pam again.

"Yeah... It's a fun class... I haven't really mastered any of the spells in it yet....." She nodded sadly as Pam said she should get going "Very..... but.. It's ok..." She been late to most of her classes during the first two to three months of school and it was only recently that she'd started getting better about finding her way around. Everyone in the class was used to her barging in awkwardly 5 minutes after class started.

She sighed and looked sadly at Pam, but she perked up when she asked if they could meet up. "Of course! I.. haven't met many other people from outside my house... I've met a few of course but.... not a lot...." She was glad to be meeting a Hufflepuff since she'd hardly met any of them yet. She actually thought back to who she'd met from Hufflepuff. It totaled only two people from her club and her tablemate in charms.

She quickly said "Sorry, gotta go" And rushed off to Transfiguration, hoping desperately that she wasn't missing anything important.
