Sitting alone, Thinking

[Chadster]

Chad walked into the Great Hall keeping his head down low, he had not yet met anyone from the school and felt very out of place.

He hurried off and found a seat alone in one of the corners of the Hall, Hoping not to interupt anyone's meal. He grabbed some food and placed it on his plate.

While Chad ate away, he started thinking about his family and friends,his old life he left behind when he came here. Chad fitted in at his old school and with his old friends, but here it was much harder for him, he didn't have any of that, He had left everything he was and knew. His parents where not wizards and they got a big shook when he received the letter. Chad sat there wishing he would make some friends so he didn't think about how much he missed everyone back home.

[Tassel]

Tassel was grabbing a bite to eat in the great hall, when she noticed a boy who looked rather out of place and lonely. Not liking any sort of negative thoughts, Tassel walked briskly over and grinned at the boy.

" 'Ello! I'm Tassel and you look as though you need a friend. I'm new here as well and could use one myself. Would you mind some company?" asked Tassel, cheerfully and warmly.

[Chadster]

Chad looked up from his plate of food and thoughts and smiled back at the girl, "I am Chad, Chad Murray" Chad said friendly "It is a pleasure to meet you Tassel, Please join me"

Chad looked at Tassel, "It is different here in the magic world, and Yes you are right I could do with a friend or two, I am happy to meet someone who has the same trouble as me" Chad smiled

"How long have you been here for?" Chad asked "Do you mind me asking but are there many people who are muggle-born? What type of blood are you?"

[Tassel]

Tassel grinned and sat down next to Chad.

"I haven't been here very long. Only a couple of days. Actually, there are a lot of students here that are muggle-born. I'm a half-blood myself, my dad was a warlock and my mother a muggle, but I don't live with my parents. They both...passed away," said Tassel sadly, but she quickly perked up.

"I'm glad to have made my first friend. I've heard tell that it's hard for some to get settled, but once they do, they fit in perfectly. That's probably us."

Tassel smiled brightly at Chad, "Oh, yeah, that's right. I know your last name, but I didn't tell you mine. It's Hexx. That's not my real last name, but the last name of the person that I'm living with. He's kind of like an uncle to me, although we aren't really related."

[Chadster]

Chad smiled, He liked people talking to him about their lives, He was always good at listening to people and loved knowing what other peoples lifes were like.

Chad's smile dropped when he heard about her parents were dead "I am sorry to here that, I don't know what I would do, I would me so very lost" Chad said

Chad listened carefully and then smiled again, "I am Muggle-born but I feel out of place abit, I am glad to have made at least two friends, because you are a very nice and pretty girl" Chad said "That is a really cool last name, Hexx"

[Tassel]

Tassel blushed and smiled at the complements. Chad was a good listener and also a good speaker. He had a very pleasant voice.

"Thank you! It's alright, it hasn't been very long since their deaths, but I'm coping well, and my friends help me. Like you. Thank you for the complements. You are very handsome yourself. I'm glad to have made a friend too."
She smiled sweetly.

"Hexx is a bit of a strange last name. My "uncle" got it because he works part-time for the ministry of magic. He is a master of charms and the best at removing Hexes that there is," said Tassel as she helped herself to a roll on the table.

[Chadster]

Chad watched tassel start to blush.

"You are so strong, I couldn't just sit here after 6 months of their deaths I would still be locket away, They are my world to me and without them, I just don't know anything" Chad said "But how you keep together I will never know but you are strong inside"

Chad looked at Tassel when she told him he was handsome "Why, Thank you, no one has ever called me Handsome before, I guess there is a first time for everything" Chad smiled

"I don't think Hexx, is a strange name at all, I think it is a cool name for something your uncle does" Chad said smiling starting to really like talking to Tassel, he felt he could tell her anything and everything.

[Tassel]

Tassel smiled warmly, "It get's hard sometimes, but I cope by doing my own job. And you are handsome. Would you like to hear about my job?" asked Tassel, with child-like excitement, she was very passionate about her job.

[Chadster]

Chad looked at Tassel "You have a job, that is really cool, I would love to hear about it" Chad said friendly going abit red in the cheeks from being called Handsome.

"Well it is good knowning you get through it by doing something, If you ever want to talk to me about it, when you are finding it hard I will always be around for you" Chad smiled and waited to hear everything about her job.

[Tassel]

Tassel smiled, very happily at Chad's words.

"Well, I design and build brooms for Quidditch! I actually have a model patented and in stores!" said Tassel excitedly.

"It's good to know that I will have someone here for me."

[Chadster]

Chad felt really stupid, he didn't know what Quidditch was and didn't know anything about Brooms, all he knew they were for was cleaning, he went even more redder from what he was just about to ask

Chad put his head down "Sorry, I don't know what Quidditch is, what is it? and why do you made brooms, all you do with them is clean" Chad said hoping it didn't sound rude the way he said it

[Kage]

"Not exactly, dude." Kage said from the neighboring table, where he had been quietly eating. "Brooms, at least for us, can fly. Quidditch is like that one Muggle game, the one with the hoop or whatever you call it, on broomsticks." Kage said, turning in his seat to regard the talking twosome.

[Chadster]

Chad's mouth dropped open "Can fly?" Chad said and then looked at Tassel "Is he trying to make me look stupid?" Chad asked

"I don't understand Quidditch, Is it like Football?" Chad asked

[Kage]

"The English version or the American one? Either way, not really. See, each team has seven players. There are 3 Chasers that toss around the Quaffle, which is a big red ball you try to get through the goals. Now, to try and stop the opposite team from scoring a goal, you have your keeper, which is like a goalie. You also a have a pair of Beaters, which whack around balls known as Bludgers, which obviously try to hit people. These are the most dangerous balls of all, since they've been known to break bones and the like. Now, while all this is going on, there's a tiny little bugger of a ball zipping around called the Golden Snitch. Each team has a player called the Seeker, whose job it is to catch said Snitch, which ends the game. The team that captures the Snitch also gets 150 points, so that team almost always wins, but not always. Such an example of that happening, but the other team winning, is the Ireland vs Bulgaria World Quidditch Cup. Excellent match that was." Kage said, then he paused, catching his breath.

[Bree]

Bree clapped "Nice one Kage not breath" Bree giggled and smiled at him "Hello you three how are we all?" Bree asked
