Here they come...

Waaaaaaaiiit a minute. That was - "Reid? What... ?" Rachel asked, having jumped as the figure had uttered her name in a VERY familiar voice. Clambering to her feet, the sixth year smiled a small smile at him before tucking her wand back inside her pocket. "What are you doing here?" she completed her sentence, taking a step towards him so that she would be able to see his face.
Reid tensed slightly when Rachel drew her wand, ready to jump out of her way if need be. He relaxed however once she put her wand away, sure that no magical danger was going to come to his person at the moment.
"Escaping the crowds for awhile. That and I find spooky places intriguing." he said, returning her smile with one of his own patented grins. As she stepped closer to him, he fought the urge to take a step back, to limit how close they could come to each other. It wasn't that he didn't want to be near her. More that he did want to be near her but didn't want to make any inappropriate or unwanted gestures.
"What about you? What reason did you have for coming to a place like this?" he asked, waving his arm around in a theatrical fashion before letting it fall limply at his side once more.
