As he approached the gates, he noticed a young man sitting by a tree. "Ah, good afternoon, Mr. Katharos. I trust you are on your best behavior out here alone this cold afternoon." He really did hope the Ravenclaw wasn't up to any mischievous activities. Having to switch to strict professor mode would ruin his afternoon walk.
Dorian stopped reading his textbook the moment he heard the ground crunch nearby. He had always had a heightened sense of hearing and during this term it had almost doubled because it was like walking on egg shells with the new rules. He looked up and turned his head towards the sound and when he saw that it was one of the Professors he practically threw his textbook on the ground beside him and got up from his seated position so fast that he nearly stumbled over.
"Hi Professor...." this was awkward... At the question, the Ravenclaw nodded his head quickly
"I am." he said. He tended to stay away from trouble as much as possible. He had already lost five points before and he did not want to lose more.
"I ...usually come here to do some meditation or to read. I like the fresh air and not many people come here so its nice and quiet" he said and stooped down to pick up his DADA textbook and dusted it before holding it up to his chest.
"That isn't against the rules, right?" There were so many ridiculous rules now that he wasn't even sure anymore.
"But, what are you doing here?"
