one...

Of course, the one time I choose not to attend the masquerade and I direct my attention to more practical things, it sounds as though it were actually worth while. But I don't regret the work I got done in stead of it. As a seventh year, I will be leaving Hogwarts soon, which is... both sad and exciting, and there are things in the path I've chosen

I was beginning to think I was the only one who didn't go.

[grand_cross]

Not at all. I'm sure there were several others who didn't attend.

You... you're Lana Skye, right? The transfer? It's a pleasure to meet you, if only through enchanted paper. I'm Richter Belmont.

[protections_lie]

Perhaps so. It's almost a relief to hear that.

Yes I am. And you as well. Perhaps we will meet at meals. Unless you are my year?

[grand_cross]

Why's that? There's no shame in desiring to do something else.

Seventh year?

[protections_lie]

I suppose not for a normal person, but it's difficult when you haven't been outside your common room.

Then I will see you in classes.

[grand_cross]

Normal...?

No use forcing yourself. Take your time. When you're ready to come out, you will.

[protections_lie]

Right. Classes for starters. I'll talk to people if they speak first.
