Making friends the quiet way

Today was the day before classes started, and Mia couldn't wait to get into her new Potions class. Mia wanted to make sure that she was ready to know everything there was to know about potions before her class that next day began, so she headed to the library. Mia was wearing some dark blue jeans, a pink and white striped tank top, and some black and white high tops. She had a purse with her and in it was her wand, some books, and all her girly stuff. It was a long walk from the Gryfindor common room to the library. So she decided to walk slowly. Take all the time that she wanted.

Along the way to the library her brother caught up with her. He ran up behind her on the stair case and put his hands over her eyes, making sure not to let her fall. "Ahh. What's going on?" Mia said wondering who could be doing this while at the same time knowing exactly who could be doing this. "Guess who?" Asked her brother in a playful voice. "It's my brother of course." Mia said in an equally happy and playful voice. She lifted his hands from her eyes and turned around to give him a hug. "What are you doing out here?" Mia asked him knowing that it was odd to see him out of bed this early. "Oh just heading to the dungons to see a girl." He said to her in a curious and mysterious voice, knowing that Mia didn't know about his new girlfriend. "What?! You have a girlfriend?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Mia asked him, now crossing her arms and stairing at him.

"Here Kitty Kitty Kitty.." Rhys whispered, frustration on her brow as she bent low to look under a table. "Kitty... Come here Kitty Kitty..." She hissed, going to the next table and looking under it. "Isabella...." She hissed, trying not to disturb people who were studying. "You naughty cat come here!" She hissed half running to the next table. It wasn't often that her kitten went missing, but sometimes when Rhys wasn't paying attention, she slipped away, and Rhys was left frantically searching for her. "Isabella!!! Get your small kitty tush to me this instant!" She hissed and skidded into the potions section. It wasn't her favorite place to be, she had never really LOVED Potions... seeing as it was like, the Slytherin class to take, she more preferred things that were fun, and atheletic, and entertaining. Not.. potions, but as it was, she thought she could see a little kitten tail under a seat.

"Isabella!" She gasped and dove for her, the kitten was wriggling into a girl's purse and without even thinking about it, she pushed between two people and dove her hand into the girl's purse, pulling out the wiggling kitten. "THERE YOU ARE!" She half yelled, snuggling the cat to her chest. "I was so worried! Don't you ever do that again!" She lifted up the kitten to stare her in the eyes, before she deposited the tiny white kitten onto her shoulder. "Oh.. sorry!" She said and lowered her voice quickly. "I didn't mean to push between you two." She said giggling and scratching the kitten under the chin. "This little girl was getting into your purse." She said giggling again, and looking at them.

The conversation that Mia and her brother where having continued all the way to the library. Even though Mia wasn't paying attention she knew how to get to the potions section of the library without even looking. She had been there three years in a row and couldn't help but think of it as a home away from home. With in seconds Mia had found a table and put her purse down. She was just about to sit down when someone dove into her purse. "Excuse me!" Mia said looking down at the girl struggling with a kitten in her hands after exiting her purse. Once the girl explained Mia couldn't help but giggle a little. "Aww.... she's so cute. Sorry for getting angry a second ago. I didn't know what you where doing til you explained." Mia said to the girl. Then turned to see her brother turning to leave. "Bye brother." She said to him, watching him turned quickly,wave at her, then turn back around and leave. Mia sat down at the table, then looked back up at the girl. "My name is Mia, it's nice to meet you." Mia said offering her hand to shake.

Rhys couldn't help but feel a bit confused as her brother turned around and left. "Huh.. I didn't know my reputation of biting proceeded me." She said giggling. "It's not like I bite HARD or anything.." She turned back to the girl who had been pretty angry with her a few seconds ago. "Hahaha sorry! Isabella here likes to sneak away from me sometimes." She said giggling and thrusting out her hand to shake the girl's. "Rhys, though my friends call me a multitude of things, from Rice Ball, to Reeces Pieces." she said grinning at her. "But you can call me Rhys if you want to." She said pronouncing it like the food, Rice. "Or Rhys like.. the candy." She said pronouncing it like Reece this time. "I don't really care at all." She grinned at her and let her hand fall to her side.

Rhys had a pretty weird accent as she spoke, it sounded very scottish, but it had a mixture of a lot of different things, from a hint of American, to a hint of Japanese, Indian, and African, though it was such a mess it was hard to pick out the most prominent ones. "Why are you in the Potions section? Did you get homework already? Bleh!" She said making a face. "Or do you like this kind of thing?" She looked at the shelf and pulled one down at random. "Ewww.. gross, this potion makes you hairy!" She said showing her a book that had a man that had hair sprouting from all over his body. "That's nasty..." She made a face and put the book back, before smiling at the girl. "Sorry, I kinda... ran into you earlier." She said making a face and running a hand through her blond hair. "I was afraid I'd lose her forever! Worried mother I am!"

Mia shook the girls hand then let her hand fall to her side. "That is a cute name. Rhys. I like it." Mia said smiling up at the girl. Mia noticed that Rhys thought she was the one to make her brother leave. "Oh it wasn't your fault, he was late meeting a girl." Mia told her watching the girl walk to a shelf and pick up a book of advanced potions making. Mia giggled at the man in the book. "That kind of potion making is advanced. If I was to make that potions only the hair on top of your head would grow and it probably wouldn't stop growing. I love potions, making them, reading about them, talking about them, everything about them. But I know that a lot of other people thinks that is weird." Mia said wondering why the girl hadn't sat down yet. "You can sit if you like. Oh and you don't have to answer this if you don't want but, what kind of an accent is that you have?" Mia asked her, hearing the accent the girl had in her voice when she spoke earlier. Every once in a while Mia would see the kitten looking around for another escape route. Mia smiled at this.

"You actually LIKE this kind of stuff?" Rhys made a face. "I thought potion making was for Slytherins only." She said with a small smirk, before sitting down next to the girl. She set Isabella on the table in front of her and watched as she went to the book and looked down at it, mewling at the picture and pawing it, looking back up at Rhys and then back at it. Rhys turned the page for the kitten and looked at Mia when she asked about her accent. Rhys couldn't help but giggle. "Um, actually it's a little of just about every accent." She said laughing. "My parents like to move around a lot, and go on vacations a lot, and I go with them, and my sisters. I know so many languages I sometimes forget which one I'm speaking and put multiple in the same sentence." She said giggling.

"So... because I move so much, Right now in my accent I should have... well my original British Accent, Scottish, Irish, Japanese, Indian, African, American.. Did you know they have accents in Antartica? I have that too.. Russian, Canadian, Hispanic... I have just about everything." She said laughing lightly. "puedo parlent sahaja quis limbă." She said in a multitude of languages. "In other words, I said I can speak just about any language, in..." Rhys had to stop and think. "Spanish... French.. Malay... Latin, and.... Romanian. That sentence anyway." She giggled and looked at Mia for her reaction.
