Molly just shrugs as best she can around her books as if to say 'some people'. Mya has to go to a meeting soon, so as Molly and Al turn down the hallway towards the kitchen, Molly pauses. "I can take it from here if you like. It's only, like, a little further. Thanks for the help, Al."

"Anytime! It was no problem at all," he said as he handed her books back to her. "Maybe I'll see you around. Nice talking to you, Molly. Good luck with your recipe book," he said with a grin before walking off ~~to the Grammy's.~~

**Molly Prewett** February 14th 2011, 11:43 am

"I hope so," Molly says with a smile, because it's nice to meet a nice Slytherin. She goes off to the Kitchens, juggling everything while she tickles the pear to get herself through the door.

Reed is walking down a hall with a map in his hand. He's horribly lost and knows he probably looks like a terrified puppy. He hated that his parents made him start school when the year was almost over anyways and wished they would have started him at the beginning of the next school year. He kept his head down as he tried to maneuver through all the other students that were so much bigger than he is, trying his hardest to become invisible. He really wished he was back in his dorm painting.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 8:20 am

Dem is walking down the corridor, looking fly as usual. She spots someone who looks new and lost and decides to help them because she likes meeting new people. She confidently walks over smiling and says, "Hi, I'm Dem. Are you new? It's nice to meet you. Whats your name? Are you lost? Do you need any help?"

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 8:25 am

Reed jumps as a girl begins talking to him. He looks up timidly and notices that the girl in front of him has an amazing bone structure, he would have to tell his mother about this girl, she was definitely the type his mom liked to book for fashion editorials shoots. At this point he realized that he had just been staring at the girl for probably a full minute after she had finished asking all of her questions, man he was so awkward around other people. "Uhh, I'm Reed. I'm new and, uh, really lost." He tried shifting his weight between his feet and somehow managed to trip himself, regaining his balance at the last second. "Woah. Oops. Sorry."

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 8:38 am

"Reed. I like that name, Reed. Well, it's nice to meet you Reed." She says, smiling widely because she is a happy person like that. She then sees he's starting to fall and quickly goes to catch him when he regains his balance. "That was lucky. Are you alright?" She asks, looking at him. "I'd try not to fall into any Slytherins, just a tip. Some are really nice and great but others aren't so nice and will probably hex you." She says giving him a little bit of advice. "Hey, what year and house are you in anyway?" She curiously asks, just realising that he was really well dressed and surprised at herself for not noticing before. She checks it out for about 10 seconds before realising that he might think shes weird for staring and looks around the corridor instead.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 8:45 am

"Slytherins? I don't know what that is." He suddenly felt very...American. His nerves went from a slight buzz to a full out panic attack in about two seconds flat. "Um..what's the name again..." He thought for a moment. When he had first gotten here, he had to go to the headmasters office and put on this weird talking hat thing. "Hufflefluff..NO! Hufflepuff!" He bounced excitedly at remembering the name and yet again, tripped over his own feet. He fell over a little again, but threw his arm out and caught himself on the wall. "Oh, um, I'm fine. I'm sort of accident prone. I'm a fifth year by the way. I'm sorry, I didn't seem to catch your name?" He was bright red as he looked up at the girl in front of him again.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 8:56 am

"Oh, I forgot, you're new. There's four houses; Gryffindor - the one I'm in, Ravenclaw - they're the smart ones, Slytherin - Quite a lot of them aren't that nice, but theres a few cool ones and there's Hufflepuff, the house that you're in." She explains, smiling as usual. "I can see that." Dem observes, but in a nice way because she isn't mean. "I'm Dem, well Demelza, but no one calls me that." She explains, putting her hand out for him to shake. "Ohmygod really?! I'm a fifth year too! Maybe we'll have some of our classes here together!" She brightly says.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 9:02 am

Reed was slightly taken aback, but not displeased, by her bubbly personality. He reached his hand out to shake hers. Upon bringing it back to his chest, he somehow managed to give himself a paper cut on his parchment. Quickly assessing the damage, he shrugged and continued talking a bit nervously. "Well, uh, it's nice to meet you Dem. You're actually the first person I've talked to. Everyone here seems so scary.." He looked around at the passing students and cringed. "So, you're in a different house?" He pouted a little, "It would have been nice to have someone that could be in all my classes. What are you in anyways? Classes that is?" He blushed some more and looked down at his feet, sending some of his wild curls into his face.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 9:14 am

"The first person? I hope I'm not giving you a bad impression of the people here." She says with a small chuckle. "They may seem scary, but they're not. Everyone, well most of the people here are really nice." She reassures him. "I am, but don't worry, you'll meet other people of your own house soon enough an besides, if you don't, I'm sure that you'll see me around heaps!" She brightly says, happy to help him and whatnot. "Classes? The classes I'm in..." She says to herself, thinking for a second before saying, "I have transfiguration, potions, muggle studies, history of magic, herbology, defence against the dark arts, charms and care of magical creatures." She tells him, reeling them off in her head.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 9:21 am

Reed sighs in relief a little. He hadn't even met his dorm mates yet, which was terrifying since he was so used to having his own room. And his dorm definitely needed someone to decorate it, the colors and whole effect of it was totally repulsive. Reed listens closely as Dem ticks off all the classes she has. He quickly shuffles his papers, giving himself yet another paper cut, and finds a sheet of classes he also has. "Hmm, I have all the same, except I have arithmacy instead of muggle studies. My mom is a famous muggle, so I don't really need to worry about that." He laughed nervously. Why the hell would I say that my mom is famous? I'm such an idiot... He flushed red again.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 9:32 am

"Cool! That means that a lot of our classes will be together!" She says smiling. "Your mum's a famous muggle? That is so cool!" She says excitedly. "Who is she? What's her name? I may have heard of her. My parents aren't muggles, but they are interested in muggle things, so I know about people and things like that." She explains to Reed.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 9:47 am

"My mum? Her name is Hilde Dawson. She's...well she's in the fashion industry. She's a fashion editor for a really big muggle fashion magazine. I've, uh, been home schooled my whole life. They thought it best to enroll me in a school finally.." He was still blushing. He noted that this girl in front of him had more than appealing features, he still just wished he knew what his sexuality was.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 9:59 am

Dem's eyes widened. "Your mum is Hilde Dawson?! Are you kidding me?! I love her magazine!" She says, trying to keep her cool because on the inside she was freaking out so much. "Oh, you were homeschooled? What was it like? Do you think you'll like Hogwarts more than it?" She asks, her attention still on Hilde Dawson being his mum. She couldn't believe it! "So, you're mum is really Hilde Dawson? You're not playing a joke on me or anything? It's just that I love fashion and... it's just ohmygod."

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 10:07 am

Reed rubbed his feet into the concrete in embarrassment. He was used to this reaction when people found out who his mother was. "Yeah, that's my mom." He stated a bit awkwardly. "Um, yeah, my dad is a wizard, so he just taught me everything while we traveled all over for my mom's work. She's gotten a job in London that promises to stay a bit more local, so my parents forced me to come here to learn how to interact with my peers and such. It's weird though, since you are all so...British." He gestured to all the people talking in the hall and hit his hand on a nearby wall. He quickly rubbed his slightly stinging hand, then quickly replaced it at his side.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 10:23 am

Dem was about to ask more about his mum, but she sensed that he didn't really want to talk about it that much, so she just said, "That sounds so interesting, travelling all over the place. Must have been so much fun!" Before she decided to change the topic to something else. "So, what do you like to do in your spare time? I like fashion, so I like to look through magazines and design things and stuff like that. It's all quite fun!" She says, then remembered that he was the one she asked the question to, not herself. "So, yeah, what do you like to do?"

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 10:37 am

"Um. Yeah, I'm sort of used to people knowing who my mom is, so don't worry about that. I'm sort of expected to take over for her once she retires. It's.. a lot of pressure." He kicked his leg a little and sort of tripped himself again, but really didn't pay attention. "Me? well, I paint and I like to sing.." Some more blushing that he really wished he could contain.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 10:43 am

"They sound like fun!" She smiled. "Maybe one time you could show me one of your paintings or I could hear you sing?" She asked, but quickly added, "But of course you don't have to if you don't want to." because she could see that he seemed a little self concious about it. "I'm sure that you're amazing at them both." She complimented him, smiling and giving a small nod.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 10:49 am

Reed smiled a little. "Well, painting is no big deal. I have shows a bout four times a year. I don't usually sing that much, my mom thinks it's sort of a wasted talent." He shrugs, even though he absolutely loves singing. Painting had been his life since he was about five, but there was something he really loved when it came to singing.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 10:58 am

"I don't think singing is a wasted talent. I think it's great. I don't personally sing, but singing's great! It can express what you can't say in words and it can change your mood. Definitley not a wasted talent." She told Reed. "You should show me your singing. Maybe not here." She said, looking around the semi-crowded corridor. "But maybe somewhere else. But only if you want to." She said, looking at him, waiting for an answer.
I just realised how adorable Reed's face claim is. Yep.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 11:10 am

Which reminds me that I need to officially claim him..

Reed blushed even more. "Well. um, I don't usually..um, sing in front of people." He glanced up and quickly and continued, "It's nothing personal or anything, I'm just not used to it, I guess." He then became flustered and dropped his books. He quickly bent over to retrieve all of his belongings. He stood again and looked at his, hopefully, new friend. "So. Um, do you mind pointing me in the direction of..." He looked at his schedule, "The potions classroom?"

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 11:25 am

"Oh, don't worry. It's cool and I totally understand." she said, nodding and smiling. "Sure! You see those stairs at the end of this corridor? If you take them, you should be on the right floor and you go left for four doors and you should be at the right classroom. I have that class as well!" She said brightly. "I quickly need to go to the library, but I should see you there!" she smiled.

**Reed Dawson** February 20th 2011, 11:33 am

Reed's smile brightened immensely . "You have potions right now too? How is it? Do you sit with anyone? Would you mind sitting with me?" Reed realized his eagerness was started to overpower him. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little nervous with all this new stuff. I feel like the only person here with a non-British accent." He dropped his head again. wishing he was back at his house with his dad.

**Demelza Robins** February 20th 2011, 11:43 am

"Well, it's alright, but the teacher can sometimes be cruel, so it's best to just do your work and keep on his good side and if you do that you should be fine." she says, giving Reed a bit of advice. "Who do I sit with? In Potions? Well, no one really." She said, a little bit embarrassed. She did gave friends, just not in that class. "So, I'd love to sit with you!" Dem smiled.
