Alex had been in the Ravenclaw common room all day, he had decided to get some fresh air. Before leaving the 3rd year grabbed a notebook and a pencil, he then slowly walked out to the grounds. He saw that there was a lot of students around outside Hogwarts, but nobody by the like which seemed strange. Since nobody liked him he had headed towards the lake. Alex had placed himself on a boulder, which was almost in the lake. He then looked down at the blank piece of paper, which was in his hand. After staring out at the lake for a couple of minutes, he had began to draw the lake, and all of the surroundings.

Rachel had been lying under the tree near the edge of the Black Lake, curled up like a cat under the warm sunlight. It was a rare warm day this month, and she was going to take advantage of the good weather while she still could. The 6th year Gryffindor yawned as she stretched slightly and checked the clock tower. An hour's nap, not that bad.
She sensed another person nearby and she jumped, not noticing how close the boy was to her. Rachel raised an eyebrow, she hadn't seen this boy in any of her visions lately; was this something she had to do on her own? The girl stood up, leaving her things under the tree and standing behind the smaller person. She smiled at the sight of his sketch, it was rather accurate and precise. She kept quiet, as not to startle the small boy, but continued to watch him. It was fascinating to meet someone who she hadn't seen coming.

Alex had been wearing his white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers when he left his common room. It was a surprise to the Ravenclaw, it was very rare for it to be so sunny at winter. He had never expected for a day like this to appear on such a season. Alex had not noticed that there was anyone behind him until his head moved a bit to the right he then saw somebodies shadow behind his. Yes he had said as he continued to sketch the lake. He didn't really care who it was, Alex had thought that it was just another idiot that was going to make fun of him.

"Sorry, didn't mean to bother you" she smiled warmly, her voice musical, continuing to watch the smaller boy sketch before her. She sensed he wasn't one of the popular kids in his house, judging from his appearance and the way he had just spoken.
Rachel leaned in a little closer to see if he had any injuries, why? She didn't know. For some reason she felt as if she had to help him in some way.

When the female had spoken, he hadn't expected does exact words. He then put his sketch put down on his lap and turned around on the boulder. He hadn't realized how close she was, Alex had went red the second he had seen her. Its ok he stuttered, she was beautiful. He hadn't expect her to be so polite either. Maybe she hadn't heard about the incident, he was very glad that at least one person didn't laugh at him. He gulped after he had spoken, to be honest Alex had never seen a girl that good looking. Their was something stuck in his throat so he wasn't able to talk or he just didn't want.

"You okay... Small, Ravenclaw child?" she smiled, watching his face turn red at the sight of her. He was adorable, and it was cute. She sensed there was something going on behind that red expression and raised an eyebrow.
"Were you part of that incident I've heard so little about?" she asked, sitting beside him on the boulder. Rachel knew that was most likely it, but she'd like to know what happened from him. "I'm Rachel, by the way. Gryffindor."

The small Ravenclaw child had nodded to the girls question, his face still red. His eyes had slowly went from brown to blue. He then heard her second question, and he frowned slowly I guess everyone knows about that he had said in his head. Which one he asked, he was hoping that she was talking about a different incident. Since what happened to him wasn't really an incident, it was more of a prank then anything. Alex the ravenclaw had spoken, as he lifted his hand and began to wave at her.

"Idunno, prank gone awry. My friend Albus was talking about it in the common room. Said it was bloody awful," Rachel answered, watching him closely for his reaction. What was the bloody situation that had happened?? What was it she was supposed to keep him safe from?
She raised an eyebrow at his eyes changing colors, but waved slightly back. "Nice to meet ya Alex"

Did it have anything to do with a guy being dropped into the Lake he so really hoped that she would say no. Because if she said yes he would get very embarrassed, that incident happened two years ago, why won't people just get over it. Alex had dropped his hand down before he began talking. He was beginning to get more nervous then before. His eyes had then slowly changed to green. He hadn't realized that since he couldn't at his pupils. Ok I guess he said slowly since he hadn't been doing so well nor too bad.

"Hate to say it, but yeah..." she murmured, giving him a gentle nudge. "I never liked the idea of bullying. I wanted to find the idiots and toss them into the lake myself. That's no way to treat a first year."
Rachel watched his reactions closely, his eyes were changing colors again. Metaporphomagus(sp?)? Probably. "Alex, were you the poor kid thrown into the lake?"

When she had said that it had involved the lake, he was very embarrassed. His face has gotten more redder then before. When she had asked him if it was him that was thrown into the lake he had nodded slowly. He felt like he was going to die of embarrassment. He did not say anything, he just stared at the ground. When something like this happens to a guy, there is probably nothing that could cheer him up. He was basically just toled the most embarrassing moment of his life by one of the hottest girls in the school.

Rachel smiled gently and wrapped an arm around her new friend, looking across the lake to give him a little bit of "privacy" to collect himself. "Well, now you've got me. You got any problems with stupid upperclassmen, you come to me."
There was the problem. Bullies. Rachel sighed as she watched Alex in her peripheral vision. She knew a few Ravenclaws herself, now she was going to have to place Alex in their protection when she wasn't around. Maybe Kelsey or someone would be good.

When he had felt a females arm around him. He almost passed out. He would never had thought that a girl would do this for him. Thanks he had said as he looked up at her with a smile. But when his eyes met hers, Alex's eye were blue once more. He had a smile on him as well. He felt more happy then he had a few seconds a go. Alex had grabbed his wand and whispered Accio, as he pointed the piece of wood at his notebook and pencil. As the items floated up, the Ravenclaw gently put his wand back into his right pocket. He then grabbed the sketchpad and pencil, and put the final touches on his picture. Alec had also included the tentacles of the Octopus which resided in the lake. He was really feeling more happier then he was before.

Rachel smiled, nodding when he thanked her and watching him closely, keeping an eye out for any threats to Alex. She soon removed her arm from around him, not wanting him to pass out, and just draped it over her knee. Since she was now aware of the situation she needed to keep aware of their surroundings. Nothing was going to happen while she was there.
"Accio" she muttered, pointing her wand at her things under the tree and catching them, placing them beneath her beside the boulder. Now that she didn't have to worry about her things being stolen, she could be more vigilant.

After finishing his small sketch, he wanted to see if Rachel like it. He tapped her on the shoulder after she looked away to cathc her stuff. After she turned around he had the picture up. What you think the Ravenclaw had asked the older Gryffindor. He really was proud about his drawings, since it was only one of the things that he was good at. But he never considered himself as an expert, just average.He never liked to brag about what he was able to do. After getting her response, Alex had flipped the page and began to draw something else but it wasn't really clear of what it was yet...
OOC: Sorry for not hitting the requirements for a post I will try and do 250 words from after this post
