Closed A Dhampir and a Werewolf- Start of a Bad Joke? pv Simon Kincaid

Date and Time: Jan 3, Afternoon Weather: Cloudy

Tes wasn't exactly known for bright ideas, but this may take the cake as one of her dimmest. Someone else probably could've found a casual way to start a conversation, or been brave enough to walk right up to her target. But no, Tes found herself following around Simon Kincaid, an older Hufflepuff, unsure if she wanted him to notice her trailing after him like a lost dog or not. She wasn't following him for anything malicious of course, she just wanted to ask him some questions, of a slightly more personal nature. That nature being his dhampirism. Her conversation with Scout had her realizing she knew nothing about them, so caught up in her own world of Lycanthropy.

The only way to fix that was to get to know of the dhampirs around Hogwarts, and without something like meeting them every full moon like she could with werewolves, she'd had to resort to asking around. Realizing that she'd completely missed a student from her own house being public about being a dhampir made her feel like a fool, so she'd immediately set to work trying to hunt down Simon. The only issue was that it was either in a crowded environment or at a bad time when she'd found him, and she wanted to be able to chat with him openly.

Finally, on a Friday afternoon, she'd caught him making his way out to the grounds and had bundled up against the wind to chase after him. "Hey!" she yelled, trying to get his attention, "You're Simon, right? Simon Kincaid, one of the dhampirs on campus?" she asked, catching up to him and putting her hands on her knees to catch her breath.

She couldn't help but notice the way her skin seemed to crawl being around him, and the hair on the back of her neck rose, unrelated to the weather. It being a similar feeling to what she felt around her mama and other adult werewolves, she didn't let it bother her, pushing her discomfort to the back of her mind. "Sorry, didn't mean to yell at you. I just wanted to talk to you. I'm Tes, a third year Hufflepuff. I just realized a little while ago I didn't know anything about dhampirs when I started talking to someone who was asking me for advice related to them, and I couldn't help as much as I wanted to," she rushed out, taking another deep breath before pushing on, "You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to, but I didn't know who else to go to. I'm not going to do anything to hurt you, I promise! I'm a werewolf myself, and I just want to know about the others that are like me here at Hogwarts."

She looked up at the older student, hoping that she hadn't overwhelmed him or run him off with her enthusiasm.
