Staying Away ((Jeff))

[aryasillhouette]

Arya had decided to spend her free day in the Common Room. It was a wonderful place, free of all the filth that tended to wander the halls of Hogwarts. Arya hated having to spend time near those so called wizards and witches. She sat on one of the couches that filled the Slytherins' dungeons, reading a book on new tricking charms. Arya thought momentarily about wandering the halls and finding a victim for her new found charms. According to the book, they were fairly easy and looked like fun. Arya decided against this for there would be too many professors wandering through the halls as well as the students.

Arya continued to read her book, until she realized that she was no longer alone in the common room. Some of the others in her year had began to enter the dungeons making it a little less quiet, and a little less appropriate for reading. This kindly disturbed Arya but she said nothing. Her fellow Slytherins were all pure bloods, as so was she; which meant that she got along very well with them, or at least she tried. Arya had never been able to associate with mud bloods or half bloods. She thought that they were below her, and acted as such. She hated that she even had to have classes with them, even though she had known it would be like that when she first decided to attend Hogwarts.

Looking around the Common Room, Arya realized that although she knew the others faces, she really had never taken the chance to get to know any of them personally.

Jeff was deciding what to do with his free time. Torment first years and mudbloods, no. Go for a run? No, did that yesterday. Learn some new spells, maybe. He decided to make some friends in the common room. He knew friends lead to knowledge sharing. He made his way from the Great Hall, from whence he was eating dinner to the dungeons. He like how the common room was in the dungeon. That meant he was farther away from the filth in the towers.

He walked in the common room to find a Slytherin girl he did not know. This surprised him as she looked about his age. He would have notice she was gorgeous, but most pure-bloods were so he was used to it. He noticed she was reading a charm book. Well, this looks promising, He said to his-self. He walked over to her and sat down on an arm-chair adjacent to hers. "Hey, I'm Jeff Brown. Fifth year. I don't think I have seen you around before." Jeff said inquisitively.

Arya glanced up from her book, to look around and see who was talking, and whom the idiot was talking too. She only saw a boy whom she had seen in classes and at meals, and occasionally in the Common Room sitting adjacent to her. Surely he's not speaking to me, what with his claiming to have not seen me around before. Arya thought this for a moment and decided that it would best be spoken out loud instead of just thought of.

"Might I ask whom you are speaking too? I am a fifth year such as yourself, so unless you are blind, there is no possible way you could not have seen me around. I can see myself in the mirror, and from the reaction I tend to get from the ickle firsties, they too can see me, Therefore I know I am not invisible." Arya said trying not to shout at the boy sitting there. She could not understand how this fifth year could sit there and say that he had never seen her around when they spent so much time during classes near each other. "Just because I have not yet formally introduced myself to you, does not mean that I have not been here for the past five years." Arya raised her voice, but continued trying not to resort to shouting at the boy for she did not appreciate someone whom tried to make her feel invisible. Arya knew that she was too beautiful for anyone to not notice her, and this boy had the nerve to admit that he hadn't. How could he not have. "We were even sorted together, and yet you are going to claim that you have never seen me." Arya made her self more angry by the moment thinking about what the boy had said.
