[Corridors] Wondering...

[Jac Shaw]

Jac had decided to neglect her essays for an exploration. She hadn't just walked through the lofty castle in ages and thought this was the perfect time. She left the Gryffindor common room and headed down a level. There weren't many people around and for simple wondering that was perfect.

She slowed down and began admiring the paintings on the wall. A knight, a crone and a washer woman were playing cards and it seemed to be a rather heated game. There was a large pile on the table between them, but not of money. There were odd bits like a toothbrush, keys, glasses, a bottle ... though Jac thought that that was what the tension was all about, the three kept eyeing it.

Carrying on, Jac found a prince and a princess dancing on a dark lawn. It was a lovely night, the moon was full and the stars were twinkling and it was such a romantic setting. Jac continued walking...

Rich was hurrying along the corridor, it was getting late and he should have really started his Ancient Ruins essay an hour ago but he had reminded in the library struggling over his Muggle Studies. He heard the occasional shout from portraits on the walls to slow down or to be careful as his shoe lace was undone. Ignoring them as normal he turned the corner only to come face to face with a Gryffindor who was paying more attention to the painting then where she was walking. Trying to take avoiding action Rich jumped to the side, however his attempt to walk off again was ruined by the lose shoe lace.

His books were scattered all over the floor and Rich was face down on the floor groaning. Gingery he pushed himself back up and started to collect his books, this was ruining his time management. Making sure that his pot of ink was not broken and that his books were all still in one piece, Rich put them in a neat pile while he did up his shoelace. He was not letting that happen again.

Jac waved at the witch on the broom when she waved at her but was torn from the painting but someone nearly bumping her, then diving to the side and falling flat on her face. Jac giggled slightly while she bent down to help the ravenclaw with his dropped books.

"Oh my gosh!" she giggled, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was ... I was just looking at the paintings on the ... Are you alright?" She couldn't say a whole sentence, her giggles kept getting in the way. When he stood up again, Jac did too, adding what she had picked up to his pile. "That's a very nice pile you've got there? Didn't do you're Muggle Studies homework, eh?"

Rich tried to block out the girls constant laughing, she seemed to have found the whole situation of him falling on the floor rather amusing. In hindsight it was nice that he made another student laugh but he would have preferred it to be due to a funny joke not because he feel plat on his face.
When she asked how he was Rich only gave a nod of his head. He had nothing else to say everything felt alright and even if it did not he would not have admitted it to the person who saw him fall.

“Oh my Muggle Studies.” Rich looked over towards his book and essay that sticking out from underneath the stack of books. “I…I just finished it. All I can hope is the Fagin will be happy, chances are though he will not, but I must start my other work otherwise I will get into even more trouble.”

Somehow rich managed to force a smile to fill his face as he stood up, however before bending down to pick up the books he held out his hand towards the Gryffindor.
“I am Richard Leons by the way. It was very nice to met you Jac, always a pleasure to met the champions for their houses. I wish you look in the up coming tournament.”

[Jac Shaw]

Jac shot the Ravenclaw a look as he merely nodded to her question. Some why that made her smile. She continued to sweep the notes together into a pile. At the mention of Fagin, Jac laughed heartily, "I don't think Fagin is happy with anything so don't get your hopes up." She stood up as he did, leaving the half gathered pile on the floor. "But I guess you know that already."

She could never get used to being recognised because she was the Gryffindor Champion, but she feared she would simply have to. She grasped his hand firmly in turn. "It's good to meet you Rich, may I call you Rich?" She was being playful and cheery considering the conditions under which they had met. "And thanks for the luck but I think you should give your luck to Daniels rather, he needs it more." She giggled slightly and smiled warmly at the Claw.
