A New and scary place

[Tara]

A small girl, around the age of 15 walked along the well beaten snow covered path towards the school that would be her new home. The soft, white flakes of crystals falling from the sky, settled for only moments on the hood of her heavy traveling cloak before melting away to add to the growing dampness that covered her head.

The small girl walked now up the stairs that led to the great door and what lie behind them, she would find out as she pushed them open and then walked in on silent, slow and somewhat apprehensive feet.

After she had drug her huge chest of belongings through, she shut the doors behind her. The sound they made, perhaps made her jump slightly as she turned, taking the hood form her head to reveal a long mass of unruly raven locks and a set of the hugest dark brown eyes who’s lashes where full and thick, even with the absence of make-up applied to them. She then walked a few steps into the hall and looked around, her eyes searching out someone who might be inclined to help her find her way to her common room.

[Dante Rose Black]

Dante on her usual tour of the entrance hall was surprised when she found a new student, she could tell they were new, they were uncertain or at least thats how their aura came across to her. She made her way along trying very hard to avoid running in to people, the blind girl stopped beside the new student not saying a word for a moment but it became clear that she wasn't going to day anything she turned her body to wards her.
"Um, hello are you new here?" She asked though she was pretty certain the girl was it was just to be safe. Dante wasn't sure if her soft voice would be heard by this girl, but when Dante did talk any more it was always in a low voice, she moved her hair away from her face and spoke a bit more.
"If you need some help I can try to help."

[Tara]

Tara watched the girl as she approached and took note of the way she moved about, carefully picking her way through the bramble of students milling about. Then, as the dark haired girl ceased her movement and now stood, kind of looking in her direction and spoke, Tara knew right away that she couldn’t see.

“Hum, yes, perhaps you could help me.” She replied, in a voice that was about as small as she herself was, matching the quite voice the other girl used as well. “I, I am new here and was wondering where to start?” She explained further. “They tell me I am supposed to be in Hufflepuff, and I don’t even have a clue as to where I am to go from there.” She finished, her voice sounding not only quite, but as well, apprehensive and confused, all at the same time.

[Dante Rose Black]

"The best thing to do would be to tell (aka: personal message) the Head Mistress Wilting Rose and she will help you there, she is real nice so you don't have to worry, then you can get into you common room no problem, so Huffelpuff there a pretty nice bunch most of us here are even us Slytherins." Dante laughed a bit it was true Slytherin had a horrid reputation but things had changed.
"By the way I'm Dante, Dante Rose Black Slytherin fifth year, my I inquire as to who you are?"

[Tara]

Tara smiled as the girl talked. She had already spoken with Rose, and just hadn’t been given directions as of yet. (Aka. PM’d her already. ) “Thank you Dante, I am Tara, Tara Johnson.” She introduced herself.

Tara took a deep breath then, and let it out slowly. It was always hard for her to meet with new people, she was a shy sort. “I, I was transferred here from the USA actually, and I am in the fifth year as well.” She finished the line of questions in her usual soft, quite, near meek tone.

OOC: Lame post, sorry for that

[Dante Rose Black]

((OOC: No such thing as a lame post in the begining you'll get used to this place))
"I've never been to the U.S, I'm from Japan, Kyoto." Dante smiled.
"So what are you intrested in like a class, I'm hopeing to excel in Potoins I love the subject." She laughed slightly.
"So why did you transfer here?" She asked curoisly.

[Tara]

As they talked, Tara began to relax a little. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so hard after all, may be, she could make new friends here. “M, my favorite class is charms, I love that subject. I’m not so good with potions, though I try, I always seem to fuddle whatever it is I make.” She answered her honestly. It was true, potions definitely were not this girl’s strong point, nor would it ever be.

“Came here because my dad got a better career offer in England, and so.. Walla, here I am.” She stated clearly, though in her tone, there was still that nervousness, it really was quite evident she had begun to warm to Dante. “Do you know where would be the best place to grab a bite to eat around this time of night?” She asked her then as a slight rumble began in her stomach.

Tara put a hand on her stomach and blushed a little; it was always embracing when that happened. “It has been a whole 6 hours since I ate last and I am so hungry, I feel like I could eat an entire dragon.” She let out a half laugh.

OOC: thanks for the confidence vote.

[Dante Rose Black]

"Well we have a dragon if your that hungry...I'm only joking, I don't think the Dragon would like that very much, you can pick up some food in the great hall or I dunno I'm not that hungry but I can go with you." Dante smiled, the girl was sweet, but she seemed a little sad. The night seemed so full of diffrent things maybe she had a new friend a new person to talk to.
"Have you meant any one else yet?"

[Tara]

Tara grinned at the quirky reply to her dragon comment and then took a deep breath. “The Dining hall sounds perhaps the best idea, as I truly wouldn’t want to offend a dragon.” She commented with a smirk. “I would love for you to show me the way, that is, if you have the time, I wouldn’t want to intrude in anyway..” She went on and then though, she knew the girl couldn’t see, she shook her head no. “No, I just walked through those doors a few moments before you showed up, you are the first I have met, and…” She regarded the other girl for a moment before completing her sentence. “I am glad you came over.” She stated. “Now, where is this dining hall you speak of?” She asked, quickly glazing over the sentimental note in her voice when she mentioned her relief that she had meat Dante and was happy to have done so.

Tara was beginning to like this Slytherin girl the more she spoke to her and was happy she had offered to join her in the hall for a bite to eat. She wanted to keep talking to her, get to know her a bit more, perhaps, she would make a friend on her first night here.

Wouldn’t that be something… she thought to herself and then smiled.

[Dante Rose Black]

"Hmm not to far from here and I shall go with you I've got nothing better to do." Dante laughed, a new friend it was somthing new, a person who didn't mind she was diffrent.
"If we can find her I want you to meet my friend Persephone shes a Ravenclaw Prefect and she is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet." Dante spoke nothing but the truth on this matter.
