The Late Arrival

[reilyn]

Rei stood outside the large wooden doors staring up at the stone castle in front of him. It was the best school in England or so his mother said. He had heard the rumors, that the school was the best but he had also heard about the lycans and the vampires that lived around the school. He wasn't to eager to meet up with a angry or hungry lycan or vampire any time soon.

He wrapped his winter cloak around his shoulders tighter as the cold wind blew up around it. He shivered in the brisk air as he blew by. He moved up the short flight of steps and to the main doors of the school. He found it shockingly easy to open the large wooden doors. The door moved like it weight nothing at all.

He coughed a little to clear his throat. "Umm Hello." He said unsure of himself and a little embarrassed. It was so foolish to come near the end of the year and he didn't see why his mother had made him. He walked past the doors and shut them to see if without the wind the hall would warm up. It did and very quickly to he smiled at the new warmth in his body.

[Krista DiGloria]

Krista's green dragonskin boots clicked loudly over the stone floor of the entrance floor as she left dinner. Her silver robes swirled around her as a blast of air came from the front doors, which had just opened. She brushed her black, green-streaked hair out of her face, and looked towards the source of the disruptment.

She laid her eyes on a boy, wearing a traveling cloak to protect himself from the winter weather. Krista smiled. The boy was obviously new, he seemed a bit unsure of him. Her suspicions were indeed confirmed when he spoke quietly, saying 'hello' in a very unsure voice.

Krista smiled again and strutted towards the boy. She loved to meet new people, mainly because newcomes were usually nice, and they always needed help. Krista liked to help people, but only if it somehow helped herself. And popularity was almost a must in her life.

"Hello. My name's Krista, what's yours?" she asked plitely. This is usually how she started conversation. Once they knew each others names, conversation wouldn't be so awkward between the two.

[reilyn]

As the girl strutted up to him he gave a nervous smile. He nodded to her as she told him her name, he was never this quiet but he was not sure of what to do. "My name is Rei." he said to her in response. He knew he had to look like a first year, or at least acting like one. He was the prankster the loudmouth and being this nervous and quiet didn't fit him at all.

"Krista is a nice name." He said politely to her with a soft smile. He hated feeling so nervous around people. He would have to play a prank on her later to feel better. He loved pranks but he was not in the mood at the moment to play his pranks. "What house are you in?" He ask her.

[Krista DiGloria]

Krista smiled widely as they boy gave her a few nervous glances. "Slytherin, are you sorted yet?" she replied, asking a question of your own.

She began to run her fingers through her hair, which she almost always did when she had nothing to say.

[reilyn]

He nodded to her "Yeah I have." He said looking for his badge that he still needed to attach to his robes. "Gryffindor House." He said fishing the badge out of his pocket.

He smiled at her "Slytherins are said to be really good, but a little cocky." He said to her then smiled "Is that you?"

[Krista DiGloria]

Krista smirked. Slytherins are cocky, perfectly true. "That'd be me," she said proudly. "But you bette rknow first off, we aren't all mean. We can be quite nice, if you get on our good side."

"Need a tour around or something?" she asked politely, knowing he would be quite lost.

[Cristina Harlington]

Cristina was wandering around the castle with nothing to do. As usual, she was in her everyday semi-goth all black attire scaring the first-year Hufflepuffs, which she found quite enjoyable and incredibly easy.

She saw her friend Krista, who was also in her house, with a new Gryffindor student. She smirked to herself when she heard Krista ask if he wanted a tour. She, of course, also wanted to meet this Gryffindor boy.

"Krista!" she yelled to her friend across the hall
"Who's your new friend?"

[reilyn]

Rei nodded his head to her "I will have to keep that in mind." He said with a gentle smile to her trying to not be so nervous. He nodded to her offer for a tour "That would be great, I think I would get hopelessly lost in here." He admitted to her with a laugh.

When the new girl approach he smiled to her and bowed his head to her in greeting. When she ask Krista who her new friend was he smiled at her "My name is Rei." He told her with a hand out to her "Pleasure to meet you." He said happily but with a hint of the nervous tone he had used before.

[Krista DiGloria]

Krista watched as Cristina came and Rei greeted her happily. She didn;t think Rei understood that Cristina wasn't all that friendly. Oh well, he'd learn the hard way.

"You look happy Cristina. Why do I think that has something to do with hurting others?" she asked slying before laughing. She turned back to Rei.

"We'll tour you, if you want. Run and drop your things off in Gryffindor tower, know where that might be?"

[Cristina Harlington]

Cristina smiled a sort of half-grin. "Well, if you're giving a tour, Krista, then I just have to come with you!"

Crisitna began to skip down the halls merrily making many little first-years turn thier heads but quickly look away in fear.

"Well let's not stand around all day! On with the tour!"

[reilyn]

Rei nodded to Krista and her friend "Yes lets get on with the tour." He said his nervous tone slowly shrinking away being replaced with his normal happy cheerful tone. As the girl went down he hall he saw the youngsters turning away in fear of her and he was puzzled but decided he would learn about it later.

"So how long have you girls been in MH?" He ask her with a smile to them both. He hardly judged people it was not his style to be so crude about things like that. He was more the joker the one who would love to see people laugh rather then see them upset or crying.

[Krista DiGloria]

Krista was heading towards the upstairs landing, to show Rei to all the classrooms and other important stuff. "I've been here for 4 years, I'm a fourth year," she said cheerfully yo Rei before contnuing on her way.

[Cristina Harlington]

"And I'm also in Krista's year." Cristina said with a slight smile "What about you, Rei?"
