Too shy for meeting people (open)

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

Nannerl arrived to a fountain, walking slowly. She stopped and looked at the water in it: It was so clean and transparent that she could see some coins at the bottom. The fountain was quite beautiful, because it had some great figures that looked like mermaids in white marble, and the rest of the object was shining grey granite. Nannerl approached to the fountain, and sat in the floor next to it, leaning her back on the cold granite.
Nannerl opened her bag and took out an old notebook. She took out also a pen, and started to write some lyrics of her favourite songs. She was sad because in Hogwarts muggle music reproductors didn't work, and so she couldn't listen to Sva-ters. She started with "Love's Rumb" (Originally: Rumba d'Amore), with its funny Valencian lyrics. "Yes, best wishes... Be overdriven by a tractor" (Sí, jo te desitge lo millor... Que te xafe un tractor!), said the Alcasserian singer in her head. When she finished the song, she was too sad for continue.
She tought that she had to make some friends in Hogwarts, she couldn't be alone for the rest of the year, and mainly without music! Nannerl could see some students not very far, but she couldn't approach to them without saying something stupid and feeling ridiculous. She really wanted to wave to them and say: I'm valencian, not invisible! But she didn't feel able.
Finally, Nannerl started to copy another song in her notebook. Perhaps somebody was interested in meeting her...

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake stood over in one of the corners of the courtyard, leaning against the wall. he started thinking about the "project" he still had to start, but decided it could wait. he looked around the courtyard and noticed girl sitting over by the fountain. by the look of her he guessed she had to be his age, so he stood all the way up and walked over to her, leaning over her shoulder for a second before looking at her saying "hi, names Jake, whats yours?"

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

Nannerl could see a boy about her age standing next to one of the corners. He seemed to be looking at her, although she thought that it was simply impossible. However, the brown-hair boy was still there, looking like thinking about an important thing...
Suddenly, he started to walk towards Nannerl. Because of her shyness, she felt so ashamed, but was also interested in meet the unique person who had noticed her until the moment. She looked another time the boy: He looked tall, but Nannerl couldn't be sure because she was sitting still on the floor.
Finally, when he was nearer, she stood up also and comproved that he was taller than herself, although she wasn't short.
'hi, names Jake, whats yours?' , asked him. Jack, uhm... This name seemed to be popular in English. In her country, however, there weren't anybody called Jack. It was curious for her, but didn't say anything, because it was probably a useless thing. Eventually, Nannerl drew a smile on her face, and then said 'Nannerl-well-Nek... Oh, sorry... My complet name is Nekane An, but you can call me Nannerl. Where are you from?'
Noticing that she was blushing, Nannerl waited for an answer.

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake smiled as she finished talking, and said "well it matters where you are talking about. if you mean here in hogwarts I'm a gryffindor, but I'm from england, my father decided to just dump me off here when i got my letter, so i guess I'm not exactly living there anymore.
where are you from anyways? your name seems pretty interesting."
Jake reached into the fountain, pulling out a handful of water, and let it fall to the ground. Nannerl seemed to be very shy, and judging by the red tint to her cheeks, she seemed to be blushing, but Jake ignored it, trying not to bring attention to that fact.

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

When Jake finished his question, Nannerl's eyes looked at the floor, like if they were searching some interesting thing, although she was only trying to hide her shyness. The boy, however, didn't seem noticed the red in her cheeks.
-My name, well... It's quite long to explain -she started -. Nekane is a Basque name, from Euskal-Herria. It looks like Japanese, doesn't it? But it isn't. But where I'm from, people don't usually have Basque names, don't mistake. Girls often called Maria, Carla, Neus, Paula, Andrea, Mònica... But my mother was so original. And An, it's Chinese. It means peace. And Nannerl, it's one of my paranoias. From Nekane An capital letters, it was the familiar name of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's sister. I was reading a book about her when I became really interested about this woman, so my family started to call me Nannerl - said, taking a breathe- ,and this is all. Oh, sorry, I'm too absent-minded. You were asking about where am I... From Valencian Country. I think you don't know where it is... It's normal, don't worry. It's a nation opressed by Spain. Well, all Catalan Countries are opressed by Spain, and also Euskal-Herria, and Galiza... But it's another story! My village, I mean, where I lived during my chilhood, is about 2.557 km from Glasgow, where I was living since I started 1st curse of Hogwarts. Stop talking about me -said Nannerl, eventually, noticing she was talking too much- I'm going to the Hogsmeade Station. I'm visiting my house in Ireland for a few days, and if I wait a lot of time all train rooms will be full. Wanna come with me? -finished Nannerl, and stood up, putting her things on the bag, and the bag on her back. She smiled to the boy, finally without blood in her cheeks, and waited for an answer meanwhile looking curiously to him.

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake started for a second at the girls explanation, his mouth gaping. he then came to and said "wow, your just about a little bit of everything, thats cool, my father won't let anyone in the family near those he deems 'unworthy', reminds me of those 'pure blood' prats really." he then noticed he had been close to ranting, and added "sorry bout that. sure I'll go with you, it could be fun" and he looked down at her, smiling.

[Timothy Bancroft S3]

Timothy saw his friend Jake and decided to tell him about the updates with him and Pagan. Timothy started to walk up and then thought i'll scare him, he wont even know it's coming! he quetly walked up be hind him and that was when he heard, "..reminds me of those 'pure blood' prats really." Timothy stopped. He was stunned! Timothy was a pure blood and was darn proud of it! but could his one true friend really say something like that? what was so bad about them anyways?! " Oh, really?! Well, what's so bad about pure bloods' anyways? You know what i hate? People who say stuff like that! go on tell me what's so bad about pure blood!" Timothy used his most intimidating voice, one he got from his foster parent(father). Timothy was hopeing that Jake would explain and that they would let it pass like nothing but Timothy was much too angry for that to happen anytime soon. or was he?

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

Nannerl was confused, she couldn't follow what was exactly happening . The new boy spoke loudly, intimidating, and she thought for a moment that perhaps the guilty was her. Later, she understood the new boy's words, and finally catch that, although she wasn't a pure blood, he wasn't critizicing Nannerl.
The ravenclaw looked nerviously at Jake, hoping he could build an answer, because she was too confused for making one.
Eventually, Nannerl turned back and kneeled down, leaving her bag in the floor, and opened it, pretending she was looking for something into the object. Doing that, the two boys will be able to argue without feeling uncomfortable because of her presence.
In absolute silence, she paid attention while she took out a pen.

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake turned around, trying not to flinch at the tone of his friend's voice, and looked at timothy for a second. he then looked back at nannerl, who had bent down to her bag.
he then looked back up at his friend saying "you know who i was talking about timothy, i meant those ones that strut around the school because they are pure blood. your an exception, you don't walk around the school like a like you own it, but a lot of the pure bloods I've seen do. I'm sorry if you though i was talking about you though, you know i would never say anything like that about my friends. I'm sorry."

[Timothy Bancroft S3]

Timothy was trying not to show his expretion on his face and to be nicer to his friend. Timothy knew his friend wouldn't say something like that about him, but it's the fact he said that about pure bloods." Alright, just don't let me catch you saying stuff like that about my friends again. And watch it, you never know if one of them walk by, they will tear you apart if they heard you, ok?" Timothy wanted it to be clear that he was trying to watch out for him while being angry. It was hard for him to do this! Timothy started to walk off hopefully Jake would know that Timothy didn't fogive that easly.

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake stood there for a second saying"it's not like I'm afraid of them Tim, just because they know how to use a wand doesn't mean i should fear slytherins." he then watched his Friend walk away for a second. he knew that he wasn't the most forgiving person, but he also knew that he was a good person, or they wouldn't have been friends in the first place. he then turned back to nannerl saying "sorry about that, guess i shouldn't have said that. but anyways, you were saying?"

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

Nannerl listened to the argument in complete silence, all time pretending look for something in her bag. Jake and his friend seemed didn't noticed she was there, so the girl became invisible even for herself.
When the boy called Tim left Jake and Nannerl alone, she wanted to ask the Griffindor some things about the Slytherin boy ego, but finally didn't comment anything and turned back slowly when Jake said "sorry about that, guess i shouldn't have said that. but anyways, you were saying? "
Nannerl had to think a little time, because she's forgotten for a second what was she saying before Tim's apparition. Then she got it and answered quickly "N-nothing important, really. Only I've said that I'm going to the Hogsmeade Station... I will spend 3 days in Glasgow". She took a breathe, take her bag and put it on her back, and then continued "It will be nice if you come show me how to arrive there... And it'll be fine if you company me!". Nannerl, blushing again, smiled and her eyes looked to the floor. Why had she to be so shy?

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake smiled saying "sure, it would Be great to go with you, better than going home really"
after he said this though, he noticed the blush growing on the girls face once again, and for some reason, his face started to grow hot at her embarrassment.he then pulled his own bag off saying "i might want to put this in its place though" and pulled out his wand, placing it in the handmade holster for it on his belt, on his left side. he then put his bag back on saying "so when are you leaving?"

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

Nannerl listened to Jake's answer, her eyes shining in emotion. These eyes could notice that the boy was blushing too, and she couldn't avoid a little smile because of this. Then he started to change some things' place, and later asked "so when are you leaving?".
Nannerl looked at her watch, surprising about how late was. "I think I should be in Hogsmeade Station in two hours... Could you be ready to come with me then?". After that, she looked around, nervously, and took a long breathe, looking again at her watch. Nannerl didn't want to seem rude, so she tried to keep her smile altough she felt nervous because of the proximity of her train's exit. She had never liked travelling by train, so she felt uncomfortable when had been forced to it.

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake watched the girl look at her watch and reply "I think I should be in Hogsmeade Station in two hours... Could you be ready to come with me then?"
He then nodded, smiling "sure, i just need to go pack my stuff really fast, and i guess I'll meet you by the train?"

[Nannerl Xúquer R3]

"There we'll meet, so!", answered Nannerl, happily, and started to walk towards Ravenclaw tower to pack her things. Perhaps Jake was becoming her friend? Thinking about this, Nannerl left the Courtyard with a satisfaction smile in her lips.

[Jake Naito G3]

Jake smiled as she walked away. He murmured to himself saying "looks like this years just getting better and better"
and started to walk toward the griffindor common room, a beat in his step, and a smile still on his face.
Jake loved making new friends.
