Glad to be back

[Chris021]

Christopher Manji plopped himself into an armchair in the Ravenclaw Common room, looking around boredly.
He had just arrived yesterday, and was wondering what had changed in the past few years. But he was still a bit tired from traveling and so he decided to just hang out in the common room.
But there was no one around right now. He flipped through a book that was beside him, but threw it back down in a moment.

Why was this so boring?
He shook his blond head, scowling. Wasn't there anything to do at Hogwarts?

[Alexis]

Alexis stepped into the Ravenclaw common room.  She knew she wasn't supposed to be in there, but she wanted to finally see what it looked like.  She peaked out from behind the door and looked in, only seeing a boy she didn't recognize.  She decided that since he didn't know her, he might not know she was a Gryffindor.  Alexis walked in casually.  "Hey"  she greeted the boy.  "Whats your name?"

[Chris021]

Chris looked over, blinking for a moment. He was surprised into silence, he hadn't expect anyone, let alone a pretty girl, to walk into the room.

"Um, hi." He said, overcoming his silence, "I'm Chris. Who are you?"

[Alexis]

Alexis walked not as quiet as before to the middle of the common room, near where Chris was.  "I'm Alexis, but you can call me Lexi though."  She replied as she looked around the large room.  "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you"  Alexis replied after a moment.

[Chris021]

Chris stared at her, still slightly dumbfounded, and then jumped up. "I'm sorry," He said, holding out his hand, "Where are my manner's? It's nice to meet you Lexi."

He smiled, "I apologize, I don't spend a lot of time around people."

[Alexis]

Alexis noticed his dumbfounded expression, which slightly confused her.  She took his hand shook it softly.  "Thanks, it is nice to meet you too.  Don't worry, its alright."  She paused "I'm sorry for barging in like this... it was quite rude wasn't it?" 

[Chris021]

He chuckled, 'I suppose we've both been rude, right? Then no embarrassment on either side."

He cleared his throat, "Please, sit and talk to me. I'm bored out of my mind, and don't have many friends here." he motioned to one of the many chairs and couches before taking a seat himself.

[Alexis]

She smiled.  "Thank you"  She said.   Alexis took a seat in one of the chairs he offered to her.  "So, what year are you in?"

[Chris021]

"Seventh, or I think I am." Chris laughed, "I'm pretty bad at math."

He grinned at her, shaking his head, "What year are you?"

[Alexis]

"I'm a sixth year"  Alexis announced.  She laughed quietly "Maybe we should get a math teacher then"

[Chris021]

"Oh please don't! I'm allergic to most teachers." He grinned, "Or, at least that excuse worked with my parents." He grinned, "So what are things like here?" He asked.

[Alexis]

Her smiled widened a little.  "Things are pretty good.  If you know how things work around here its easy to not get in trouble"  Lexi looked at Chris "Do you like it here so far?"

[Chris021]

"It's not too bad, from what I can see. AT least this time my brother isn't here." Chris's grin widened, "He can be a real jerk half the time."

He shrugged, "What are the teachers like? Any that I should make sure to take allergy medicine before going to class?"

[Alexis]

"All of my teacher are great.  But thats just my opinion.   However, you may want to bring the allergy medicine just in case"  Alexis said with a grin.  She leaned back in the chair.

[Chris021]

"What classes do you take?" Chris asked, "I haven't gotten my scheduel yet, but who knows. maybe I'll have a class with you."

"At least then I'd know somebody."
