The lessons were fun and all, and he'd met some genuinly nice people. But they were all older than him and all that time between the lessons were just spent in panic, reading up on whatever magical creature he'd meet in his next class.

Truth be told, no matter how cool Hogwarts was, he kind of missed home. He drummed a little melody with his fingers on his knees before finally deciding to leave the Courtyard. Maybe he could go sneak another hot beverage at Professor Greyvson's office or talk about muggle things with Professor Stewart.

Carlton bent down, picked up his bag off the ground and hoisted it up on his shoulder.

THUD.

He froze, frowning. Had he just.... Had he just smacked someone in the head with his bag full of school books? Carlton turned around slowly and looked down at the ground.

Yep.

He had definitely done that. He looked down at a groaning figure on the ground with dark hair spread across her face.

PANIC.

"Oh, oh, oh!" He shifted his weight looking around them. Someone had to have seen that right? It was just an accident! He hadn't attacked another student in the middle of the Courtyard. He hadn't! "I didn't see you! He started, hugging his bag close to his chest.

Oops?
Natalie had decided to take a walk above ground. She liked her house so far, but the Slytherin common room was just a little too dark for her at times. She longed for the sunlight or, err... cloud light. The sun hid behind the clouds an awful lot. But it was still better than a dark and damp common room.

The fresh air was nice, too. Natalie took in a big, deep breath of the cold air as she walked down the open corridor by the courtyard. Her eyes were looking through the open arches and the grounds. They were so pretty, especially in the Fall. She hoped they would get lots of snow when winter cam--


SMACK.

She wasn't sure what had happened, but the young brunette was suddenly on her rear end on the cold concrete, her face stinging and her eye throbbing and watering. She held the one blurry eye and looked up to see a curly headed boy clutching his bookback. THAT was what hit her? And all he said was "I didn't see you"?

Natalie let out a little whimper and pushed herself off the ground, her bum hurting now, too. She was FINE. And she didn't want to cry, but her one eye was already throbbing from the impact of a buckle on his bag. "Wait," she said with a little sniffle. "You're in Slytherin, too." He was a first year too! Well... now they couldn't be friends because he accidentally beat her up.
