As he thought about it all a giant branch swung one inch in front of him. It could have killed him but he thought it was awesome "COOL!" Tommy said with a grin on his face. "You did save my life just then, so thank you, Prefect"
He got his name! Katrina. That was a pretty name. Uncle Nick's first wife was called Katrina. She was pretty cool so this Katrina HAD to be cool. She was a prefect and a Slytherin so that guaranteed a spot on the cool side. She spoke again. She thought he was from Australia. Cool country but no. "I'm not actually from Australia. I just went to school there and sorta got kicked out. I transferred here because it was waaaaaay closer to home than the other side of the continent, you know?" Tommy said smoothly. He wasn't ashamed of being kicked out. It was boring there anyway. "Anyway, nice to meet you Katrina! I'm Tommy Winton by the way." He said proudly.
GLARE. Yes, Kat was glaring at the willow rather than just watching it now. It nearly injured a fellow Slytherin and what was Kat supposed to do about that? She wasn't like Healer Tillstorm, who knew more things about fixing up injuries and mending broken bones, but Kat would have to bring him over to the Hospital Wing. Oh... effort. Lots of effort. It was good that he managed to dodge it, or if the branch missed him. Cool? How awkward. A moving tree was cool, but it wasn't if it tried to kill you. "
No problem," Kat said with a small smile, taking a moment to look over at the boy and then back at the Whomping Willow. And no, she didn't save his life. She was just doing what was right.
Oh, so his name was Tommy. Kat was sure to remember that. Nobody else in the school was named Tommy right? It wasn't that hard trying to keep in mind a name. Not... from Australia. That made Kat form even MORE questions in her head, but she wouldn't pester the younger Slytherin with them. She didn't want to be nosy. Kicked out though... poor kid. And no, she wasn't going to ask him why now. It might be rude of her. "
Well, since we just met..." Kat said while dodging another killer branch that nearly hit her on the face. "
Welcome to Hogwarts... and to Slytherin." Also known as the coolest house EVER.
