SPOILER!!: Sloane

"I see." Brandon looked at Sloane rather curiously, and with his head tilted a bit as he thought. The face she was making- and the names she was calling him- made him disinclined to talk with her. But he wasn't feeling conversational at all to begin with, which made him wonder why she felt like she had to dissuade him. "Is that what you want, for people to always leave you alone?" he asked genuinely. He guessed that somewhere, deep down, it was not, but he didn't know her well enough to really understand. He could understand wanting to be alone, but the way she phrased it made him pause.

He sighed when she chose to call him yet another name. "Brandon Fox. I would appreciate it if you called me by my proper name and not 'balcony boy', Sloane. I'm not a nicknames person." And sure, she didn't know his name before he said it, but she could have asked. He certainly hadn't thought to call her anything besides Sloane, since that was how she introduced herself. He didn't really give people nicknames unless they told him to.

I don’t know if you can tell but I’ve kind of mastered this look and y’know, just like magic, people leave me alone,” her face a mask of seriousness now despite the fact that she was indeed joking. Or was she? It certainly felt that way sometimes. Stopping only momentarily to listen to his words, she turned again to leave, not one to force her company on someone who wanted to be left alone. “wELL, you have fun with that…” stopping because she didn’t even know balcony boys name. “balcony boy…” It sounded like some kind of lame superhero but it made this little second year Slytherin laugh on the inside. “i’M Sloane,” she added at the end, just so that he didn’t get any ideas about giving her a nickname. She reserved that right for a select few. "I see." Brandon looked at Sloane rather curiously, and with his head tilted a bit as he thought.
