A wander sounds nice (open)

[taylormendez]

With little to do, Taylor decides a wander sounds good enough. (Not like there was much else to do.) And so, pulling her hood from her robes over her head, she exits the Slytherin common room, wandering the hallways - eyes darting everywhere nervously. She hated being watched, but it appeared the hall was empty, and sighing in relief, Taylor leans against one of the stone walls, head thrown back, and eyes shut tight. Alone at last.

As much as Ju loved Hogwarts already and didn't get enough of the wonder of it yet, she grew bored. All of her assignments were done and spell-checked and there was, surprisingly, nothing to study for. There was no reason to stay in the common room, so she decided to go take a walk.
As she turned a corner, she started to hear voices down the corridor. It seemed to be a boy and a girl. Ju immediately felt awkward (they could be going out, you know), but they were within eyesight, so it'd be extremely rude to turn around and go back the way she came. Ju didn't have the nerve to walk past them, either. Her only option was to approach the two of them and hope that they weren't hoping for "alone time".
"Evening. Taking a nap?" The voice seemed to be coming from the boy. Ju quickly decided it'd be best to pretend that she didn't hear him, so she quickly thought up the most neutral thing to say.
"Hi. What's your names?" She asked, directed at both of them.

Creaks and small thumps could be heard, coming from somewhere about halfway across the hallway from where she was now laying down. Taylor lay there, mocking sleep, and merely listened.She heard pattering footsteps on the cold wood floor, and silently opened her eyes. Two figures walking her way.Turning slightly her head slightly,Taylor looked up at the person who had spoken..Evening.Looking around oddly, her mouth shut close, Taylor stood up, smiling weakly at the two." Good evening." Taylor says to the two, running her fingers through her hair..

Taking a nap?She shakes her head."No, just closing my eyes. " She smiled, listening to the girl talk." I'm Taylor Mendez. Second Year Slytherin."She says smiling up at the two, extending her hand out.

"Good evening," the girl said. Not knowing what else to say, Ju responded with a quiet "Good evening to you, too."
She began to play with a bracelet on her wrist, a bad habit of hers. She didn't want anyone to think that she wasn't interested in the conversation (although there wasn't too much of a conversation going on now) or anything. She put the thin green bracelet back on her wrist.
"I'm Taylor Mendez. Second Year Slytherin.". From the gossibp she had heard earlier, Slytherins weren't the friendliest. But if it was true, the Slytherin girl (Taylor, apparently) probably knew it already. So, Ju tried to maintain a neutral facial expression.
"I'm Ju Huang. First year Ravenclaw". She still stood up straight, in the same position she arrived in.

"It's nice to meet you." she said, holding out her hand for her to shake. Taylor gives a hesitant, more like nervous smile to Ju Huang."Oh a first year. So your new?" is murmured shyly before her vision is cast towards the other arrival, a boy, who hadn't said much yet. "So... um you like it here so far? " she asks the girl picking at a lose thread in her robes.

Ju, realizing that everyone shakes eachothers' hands at Hogwarts, shakes Taylor's hand and withdraws it, letting her arm fall back in its initial position on her side. "Oh, a first year. So you're new. So... um do you like it here so far?". Ack, first years are picked on everywhere, Hogwarts and muggle schools alike. It was that way as a kindergartener, sixth grader, and would've been that way if she was a freshman at a muggle school. People always picked on 'firsties' too much. At muggle middle school, it was a 'tradition' to give the incoming sixth graders swirlies if they were particularly loud or undesirable. Luckilly for her, her head was never stuck in a toilet.
"Yeah, it's pretty nice here so far.". Not knowing what else to say, she added "So, are you trying out for quidditch?"
