Cruroar sat idly on the steps of the Entrance Hall. Various people passed him by and, they would wonder why someone was sitting on the steps, reading when their was a library just 4 floors above.
Cruroar had his mind buried in a book about hexes and counter-hexes. He had always had a thing with dueling, and found the book quite interesting. The 13 year old ruffled his hair as he looked up to see someone standing, looking at him.

Lavigna had just been out to watch the Slytherin Quidditch team practice. They were still at it, but clouds had begun to obscure the sun and Lavigna was sure it would rain soon, so she decided to leave.
She crossed the Hogwarts grounds at a fast pace and soon found herself facing the steps to the entrance hall. It was now obvious, though, that she was not the only one who had noticed the change in weather and a lot of students were already streaming up the steps and inside, blocking the way, but not as much as the young boy who sat on the steps, reading, oblivious to his surroundings and to how he was sitting in the way.
Standing before the boy, Lavigna placed her hand on her hip in a stance of annoyance and huffed silently. "Don't you think that's a bit of an awkward place you're sitting in?" she attempted to rouse the boy from his book.

Cruroar looked at her oddly for a moment as if gaging her appearance,"Perhaps, but I got bored of the library a bit too stuffy." he glanced at her robes and saw the familiar Slytherin logo on her. He smiled thoughtfully, at least she hadn't hexed him.
"Though is it that odd that somebody is reading?" he said, he wanted to ask her why she cared, but he didn't want to be mean or anything.

Lavigna frowned and shook her head. "I don't mind you reading." she said. "It's not an odd place either, but with so many people streaming in at the moment-" She nodded her head towards the many students heading inside, as the sky had continued to darken with rain clouds. "There'd be more room to get inside if you weren't sitting here." Lavigna explained. "And it's about to rain anyway."
No sooner had she said that a thunder clap could be heard from above, making Lavigna startle ever so slightly which she covered up expertly and the tell-tale sound of small rain drops falling could be heard.
Lavigna sighed and regarded the boy. Rolling her eyes, she held out her hand to help him from the steps. "Let's get in." she suggested. "Or your book will get wet."
She didn't know why she even bothered, she really didn't. 'Well, guess I'm having a good day.' she thought to herself.

Cruroar pondered her statement for a moment before finally nodding,"Right you are." he said accepting her hand up. He was quite suprised by the Slytherin girl's kindness. He shoved the book under his robe's to keep it from getting wet and went inside with her. He came to a stop when they were inside slowly turning to her.

Lavigna waited for the boy to put away his book and then led the way inside the castle following even more students who were heading in as the thunder storm became stronger.
Once inside, Lavigna watched the younger boy turn to her and she regarded him for some time more. She really had no idea what fates decided she should get talking to him and why, but she had and now there was one thing she noticed. She had no idea who the guy was. Aside from a Ravenclaw. "So, what's your name, then?" Lavigna asked.
