Default Annyyyoneee? He's a nervous wreck.

Zander nervously looked around the common room from his spot in the corner. Well someone had to occupy the corner right? Right. He couldn't just leave it all abandoned by itself. Oi! Corners need some lovin' tooo. They must have feelings. He was only being considerate. So by standing in the corner, Zander is only naturally doing the right thing, right? Yes. In fact he's being considerate of all the other Gryffindors too. They need some room and by standing in the corner everyone could have all the room they want. The corner won't be lonely. And Zander could have a nice little look out spot. There. Everyone is happy.

Wait. This is all wrong. Zander isn't happy. In fact Zander is actually kind of angry? Not angry with the other Gryffindors and not angry at the corner, actually a little angry at the corner because he stubbed his toes a few minutes ago but that is off topic, he's angry at himself. This summer he made a promise to his parents that he would finally make some friends. He was going to come out of his shy shell and tonight would be his night. Taking a few steps forward and forcing his best smile he looked for someone to talk to, but everyone looked occupied. Okay maybe tonight isn't his night. But hey there's always tomorrow!

So he took a giant step back into the corner. There. This is perfect. This corner is just so cozy and warm and loving and why would he need any friends if he just had this corner? Zander you're a Gryffindor for crying out loud! Be a lion and go talk to someone. Another three steps forward. After a few seconds away from his corner he felt yet another rush of nerves. Okay no maybe you can try being a lion tomorrow. The sorting hat probably pitied you because you didn't belong anywhere else. Besides, the corner was practically cooing his name. He couldn't just abandon it.

Corner: 3 Zander: 0

This little into-the-corner and back-out-of-the-corner process happened a few more times. Hopefully none of his other classmates, OR EVEN WORSE, the professors, noticed his little jig. With one last deep breath Zander stepped out of his corner for good and looked around in a state of panic. Without the corner he felt so exposed! It isn't too late to hop back onto the train is it?
