The boy in front of me jumped backwards in shock. He had fluffy brown curls that I wanted to touch so badly my chest nearly ached. His bright blue eyes captured mine with curiosity. Although shivering in fear, or excitement, he did not break eye contact.
"I asked you a question, who are you?" I asked. Now that I looked at him closely I could see he was a Ravenclaw. A Ravenclaw who seemed very eccentric. "I am a human," He answered with light and ditsy smile.
"I meant your name," I said with a small scowl on my face. "Names are labels, I am human is also a label, so that could be my name," He snickered with the same ditsy smile. I wanted to feel annoyed but I could not force him to say his name.
"than human, what were you doing here staring at me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Well, human I am here because I saw a Slytherin student come out of the Gryffindor dorms," He said his smile becoming broader. "I would like to know what you did?" He said.
I tried to hide my surprise and merely raised my eyebrow at him again. "and why were you there?" I asked him. he snickered again and went closer to my ear as if to tell a secret. His breath was close to my ear and he raised his hand as if to make sure no longer could hear us while he told his secret.
"Becauseee, I was bored and you are fascinating," He said, he went back to face me and I could see the clear sparkle in his eyes. They shine like deep blue sapphires, I continued to stare with fascination I almost felt lost in his eyes.
"So what if I am fascinating, what do you want from me?" I asked my voice not betraying my emotions in the slightest. It was probably the only skill I was truly grateful to have. To be able to mask my thoughts and how I felt from others.
"I can feel your emotions wave off of you, " He said suddenly. "you are confused why I am bothering you, right?" He said with a perfectly clear voice. I swallowed, how did he know.
"I am good at reading emotions even if you want to hide them, people fluctuate energy levels off of them which can show how someone is feeling, that and a bit of guessing," He said with a disty smile which had returned on his face after explaining.
"So you can feel peoples emotions based on the energy they give off?" I asked uncertainly. "Exactly! and you are thinking that I am either lying or amazing, spoiler alert I am amazing," He said with a soft giggle at the end.
"Human, what do you want from me?" I asked looking at his eyes trying to see his reactions, but alas he stayed exactly the same. "I want something simple, something easy to gain but hard to maintain, " He started, "Can you guess what it is? " he said staring at me looking at me as if I am the most fascinating thing he has discovered in a long time.
I thought about it for a while, what is simple and easy to get but hard to maintain. Then I got, I understood what he meant. It was easy for me to get but once I left it was hard for me to maintain, more importantly, it was hard for them to maintain. he wanted to be my friend.
"You want to be friends?" I asked to be certain.
