(This is a private roleplay with @Evelynn Honred Small amounts of godmodding of said character has been allowed.)
Althea stared blankly at the potions professor. The cold and creepy classroom they had potion classes in was very unpleasant to the girl, and Althea has been to more Haunted Houses with Alex than she could remember. Coloured reflections from substances in glass vials on the shleves glowed in the dim classroom, which added onto its menacing glory.
Althea was writing down the necessary notes, noticing that almost half of her classmates were already falling asleep or mumuring amongst one another. She sighed. 'Why did Alex choose to sit on the opposite side of the room?' Althea thought to herself with dread and loneliness.
She was not on the verge of death, no, but she seriously just wished to speak with someone to stop her brain cells from perishing because of the confusing notes and ingredients. How did her father get through this, she did not know, and she kind of did not want to know.
Althea looked around and spotted a girl on her right in the corners of her eye. The girl had dirty blonde hair and mecury eyes, paired with a pale complexion and a energetic aura. She sported a Ravenclaw tie and robes, which betrayed her Gryffindor-seeming personality. The girl turned her head to notice Althea staring at her intently, causing the Chinese-British girl to blush in embarrassment and turn away. She hoped that the girl did not think of her as a freak, and she hoped that she did not have to explain her actions.

Evelynn stared at the girl for a few more short seconds, slightly puzzled. She turned her head to face the board once again, but couldn't resist the urge to peek back at the girl. Making sure no one was looking, she turned her head back to the girl and examined her with curious eyes.
Hufflepuff, I suppose, Evelynn assumed, examining the girl intently. She wondered why the girl had been looking at her, because to her understanding, she had to be the least interesting person in the room, compared to everyone else, that was.
The desk between the two girls was unoccupied, giving Evelynn the chance to shift next to her. She took a brief glance around the classroom to ensure that everyone was still either chatting with eachother, or trying to keep their tired eyes from falling shut. Once she concluded that nobody would notice her, including the Professor, she slid into the empty chair next to her with a swift movement. She hastily took her quill and parchment from the desk, keeping her eyes on Professor Price.
When she had settled into her new seating, she turned to face the girl and waved to get her attention, though she knew that the girl had probably already notice her move to her current seat. Evelynn whispered sweetly,
“Hi!”

Althea lifted her head abruptly at the sound of the girl's voice. She thinks she almost suffered a whiplash. She cautiously turned her head to face the Ravenclaw.
"Uh, yes, hello," Althea muttered, tapping the end of her quill on her notes in a nervous pattern. Tap, tap, tap.
She eyed the girl up and down with a bit of anxiety, forcing a fixed smile on her face. She did not know what to say, what to do, not to mention how to get the conversation going successfully. Her parents always told her to just 'be herself and speak confidently', but that was more easily said than done.
Althea was not experienced in socializing and all things related to it, and she had only one friend until a few weeks ago, when she met Hanako Tone, an actual, somewhat-friendly Slytherin, who she know called an ally. She appreciated the Ravenclaw girl's efforts to come and speak to her, but her mind was practically hollering at the girl that she had made a mistake talking to her.
Despite all of that, Althea made eye contact with the Ravenclaw. "You seemed enthusiastic earlier, do you enjoy Potions?" The half-Asian girl asked out of genuine curiousity, "I enjoy the subject, but I wish we had muggle subjects like Mathematics and English, no?"

“Oh, yes,” Evelynn nodded in agreement. Though she fancied all her new subjects, she couldn't quite keep up with the fact that she wouldn't be worrying about Muggle subjects anymore. She's Muggle born? - Or maybe a half-blood, like me! She wonder, curious yet excited to know.
Evelynn racked her brain, trying to think of something to say within the precious second she had stalled for with an 'Uhm'
Finally, she thought of something to say that would hopefully keep their conversation fluent and continuous.
“So,” she started, bundled in nerves, “How do you like Hogwarts so far?” Evelynn hoped that the question did not seem too cliché. She nervously turned her head to Professor Price and back, jotting down a few notes which he had written on the board, her hands slightly
quivering by her side too.
They were surrounded by students struggling to keep their eyes open, and some chit-chatting about things completely unrelated to Potions, not as if she wasn't doing the same..But she kept her focus on the girl, and the notes which she was scribbling down on her parchment.
She was finally given the chance for a new friend! And she really, really didn't want to mess that up. She looked up at the girl, still unaware of her name, and waited for her reply..
