Thread: Hogwarts Horror Stories. (Malin & Darkangel76)

When Felicity offered her hand towards him, Simon took it in greeting. Happily shaking her hand and slowly becoming familiar with the fact that she wasn't exactly the best public speaker. Her house name didn't ring any bells in his head and that usually meant that either her parents were out caste or she was muggle born. However that wasn't any of his business neither here or there and in truth for now he was just happy for the company even if she did seem to stutter a little and step over herself. It didn't make talking any easier for her, but he found it a little cute that she was socially impaired. I think I remember you now actually. When she said that she was just going to grab her robes he nodded, and got up from his seat long enough to retrieve a tattered old backpack. Unlike her's which was enchanted to have extra room, his was just normal. His parents didn't like him having magic while still technically underage by ministry law. So they kept most of the cool stuff out of his hands. Opening it up, he traded his long jacket for the much thinner robes of his house. The green and silver crest of Slytherin on display at his chest as he turned to her, and sat back down. It was odd to actually speak with a person who wasn't a member of ones house. It happened sure, but things were always a little odd considering Hogwarts did it's best to seemingly put other houses in competition with one another. Please. He said as soon as she started with the 'Mr Mycroft'. He raised his hand waving it off. Mr Mycroft is my father please just call me Simon. Were not in business were in school Felicity there is no need for any formalities like that. He said with a small chuckling laugh. If she was addressing his father then that would have been different but the fact was that it was only him there was simply no need for that level of formality between them. It was however kind of cute the way her cheeks were constantly turning crimson and she was being embarrassed. He didn't understand why she would be, but it was really cute none the less. I just got here late that's all, everything else was taken so i ducked inside here, and that's where you found me. He said with a small shrug. It wasn't because he wanted to be isolated he just didn't like stepping into another groups conversation he always felt like a third wheel. In a way he wasn't much better then her when it came to talking with other people. He had confidence yes, but he always lost track of names, and people. It was hard to keep track of people in his mind especially in a very large class. Taking off his scarf he placed it on the chair next to him. The heaters on the train were starting to kick in now that they were in motion and that meant that soon they would be nice and warm, and hopefully dry. He rubbed his hands together and breathed lightly on them. Warming himself up. Trying to get the damp chill out of his body. I wonder who will be house prefect this year. It's a tradition to select a fifth year to take on the responsibility. I just hope Slytherin's has a sense of humor this year unlike the last three years. Simon said lightly. He had gained a rather bad reputation among the slytherin house for being a bit of a prankster, though personally he couldn't see what the problem was with turning all of the beds in the Slytherin male dorm into frogs. There were a lot of questions going into the new year prefects were to be chosen, not to mention he had been hearing rumors of a new proffessor attending school. For Simon however it didn't really matter all that much he had already chosen his career now graduating was more or less just a formality. It was all about keeping his grade averages up, which meant he had only taken easy courses. For his two electives he had grabbed care of magical creatures, and study of ancient runes. Both were easy if you just listened to the professor. Simon was in this to have a little bit of fun, and for however clever most of the snakes were a lot of them were members of prominent families, and sticks in the mud. If he didn't teach them how to adjust to the real world no one would. Are you taking any interesting classes this year? He asked curious about her course outline.
