Sierra regraded the girl for a few silent seconds before she said or did anything else. Was this girl really just trying to help? From Sierra's experience, nobody helped another just because it was the right thing to do. Didn't they always want something from you? Need something from you?

She guessed there were those rare exceptions. Gryffindors, they were called, and of course this girl was one of them. "Oh," Sierra said, rezipping her book bag, "well, thanks for your help." See, she could be nice. She just usually had her guards up, but underneath it all, she wasn't a mean-spirited little girl. Sarcastic and blunt, yes, but evil and mean, no.

So what she supposed to do now? Make polite conversation? This is usually when things got awkward for Sierra. She just naturally wasn't an outgoing and overly-friendly person. One-on-one conversations with most people threw her for a loop. "Well, congratulations on making your house Quidditch team," she finally said. "I heard talk of who made the other teams down at the pitch."

Selina blinked twice when Sierra returned her help with a thank you. It was the last thing that she had expected from the girl that she had bore witness to in classes. Sierra was always on a Hufflepuff's case or picking on Kurumi, which drove Selina bonkers because they were best friends, or even just carrying herself as someone who was better than everyone else. But now, at this very moment, she was... nice. Better than nice, she was friendly and thankful. It was not a side she was used to seeing from her fellow second year. "Um, yeah sure. No problem. You would have done the same for me." And maybe, just maybe, she might have done the same if the roles were reversed.

The awkward silence then engulfed the conversation and Selina sifted her weight back and forth between her two legs. The conversation was going no where and she was a little fearful that the two girls would just stand in silence forever. Then Sierra decided to be sociable, another shock, and picked up a topic for conversation, "Yeah congrats to you as well. You know you played really well last term. Just thought I'd mention that."
