Nicole walked through the halls with no destination. She dragged her feet on the floor lazily. Nicole hoped someone would cross her path, because she desperately wished to meet someone. She knew few people at Hogwarts, if any.

Micha walked through the hall way, not really paying attention to much. This was the only good part of being at a new school, he thought, exploring. He continued to walk peaking into classrooms... when he suddenly ran strait into someone. He stumbled slightly, then looked down. "I'm so sorry," he said, "I didn't mean..." he paused when he saw the pretty girl in front of him. "... hey, I'm Mike."

Nicole was staring out into space when she felt someone walk into her. "No, it was my fault. I wasn't looking," she said. She smiled at Mike. "I'm Nicole." She didn't recognize him, not that she would recognize anyone. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," Mike replied, "So, are you new here?"

"So, are you new here?" Nicole thought her question was stupid. He couldn't be younger than 16, more likely he was 17. There was a slim chance he would be new, seeing as how most new students were first years. But maybe he was. She was 16, and she was new.

"Yea, actually," Mike said. He rolled his eyes, "My parents thought my 7th year was the perfect time to change schools," he said sarcastically. "I hate it though, it's like having to start all over again." Then he smilled at Nicole, "At least I didn't through a hissy fit like my sister! She's such a drama queen." He looked down at the floor again, "So, if you're new, where did you move from?"

"It's stupid to have to change schools at this point," Nicole said. "I didn't move, but my mom had me home schooled for the past five years. It took forever for her to let me come here. But now I don't really know anyone. Where did you move from?"

"I'm from the States," Mike said simply, "Philadelphia, in fact. I went to East Coast Academy of Magic there." Mike looked down at his feet "I gotta say I had it made there," then he looked back up, not that I'm bragging or anything, but I was quidditch captain and had a whole group of friends." He shook his head, "My parents are so obsessed with money that they didn't care that I didn't want to move, you see, we inherited my grandparent's fortune on my mom's side. We're living in their old manor now, and I never even met them!" He changed the subject, he hated feeling like he was complaining. As far as he could tell, things hadn't worked out that badly, if they wouldn't have moved, he would never have met Nicole. "Do you play any Quidditch?" he asked her.

"The States? That's really interesting. I thought it was bad I had to be homeschooled, but moving to another country is definitely worse," Nicole said. "I'm actually trying out for Chaser on the Ravenclaw team," Nicole said. Am I that stupid? she thought. What other team would I play for? I'm in Ravenclaw.

Mike smiled at her, "That's cool, I tried out for beater. I love playing beater, it helps me get out all of my frustrations." He grinned at the thought of both of them making the team, that would give them more chances to hang out. "It would be great if we both made the team." he thought out loud, but stopped himself before mentioning the last bit. What are you trying to do, Mike, scare her away, he told himself angrily.

"That would be great," Nicole said. She hoped they would both make the team. She liked Micha, and wanted to spend more time with him. If they both made the house team, they would definitely spend more time together. "I thought about trying out for beater, but I realized that I would miss the ball more than I actually hit it."

Mike laughed, "My trick is to imagine it's the head of a person you don't like." Then he furrowed his eybrows, "But I told my sister, Emily, that and she said, 'good, I'll imagine it's you!'" He smirked at Nicole, "She was just mad because I flushed her favorite quill down the toilet when I was eleven."

"I try not to get on peoples' bad sides," Nicole said. "But I guess there are a few people I wouldn't mind whacking in the head with a bat." Nicole thought back to the days when she went to a Muggle school (before being home schooled).
"How old are you now? If you were eleven, it must have been at least five or six years ago. That's a long time to stay angry with someone, especially over a quill."

"Now I'm seventeen." Mike said with a smile, "But, the quill is just the thing she always brings up whenever I try to tell her we used to get along. I've done a few other things to bug her since then." He looked at the ground a little uneasily, his memory flashed back to last year when his sister was dating Thom and he flinched. He should have never let her date him that long, he knew he was bad news. "Emily just doesn't trust easy anymore," he said quietly, looking back up, "As much as she claims she had all those friends, she kind of eats herself away inside, ya know?"

"I think so," Nicole said, understanding him. "There was a while when I didn't trust anyone, really. I had friends, but I couldn't tell them anything. I felt like an outsider in my group of friends. And I didn't speak up much, so I didn't have a say in anything." Nicole thought about her own sister. "I'm glad my sister is too young to come to Hogwarts. We would be fighting all the time."
