Metanoia <Mattheo Riddle>

Watch Out

There is a rythym of knocking at my  door..

which I automatically know who it is because She and I created our own  language as  a way to let each other know it's us

We are just close like that

"Come in" I announce out to Hermione standing outside the wooden boards blocking us from each other

I am sitting at my desk sitting in front of the big window shaded by golden curtains with gold flakes and lace running through it

As soon as Hermione comes in she lays on my bed and drops her books beside her

With a small sigh of exhaustion, "Are you ready to meet  go yet? Blaise is expecting us minutes. "

"Yea, just need to tidy up real quick. "

We planned to go to the courtyard to work together with Blaise on a project we were assigned to do for charms class.  Sadly it includes a presentation too which I always find dreadful.

They are just so awkward because well it just is to me because everyone is watching and I'm definitely not the best at public speaking unless you can consider "and" and "um" every second to be  a great speech then I'm a pro.

I push my journal back it it's designated spot on my shelf and grab my backback I prefer to carry around with me so I always have a everything I need.

Not a lot of students do that, I guess they like to be free of carrying boulders on their backs which I respect but I'm always worried I'll forget something or need something especially in case of Emergencies. Girl problems and all.

After collecting our things we make our way out of the common room and out to the hall. 

Hermione and just talked about little interesting things that happened throughout our day when we weren't together like in our different classes.

We turned into the Hall with openings showing the lawn where student were sitting in the frames or out spread on the grass or under or in trees. Pretty much anywhere you looked.

Hermione walked ahead a slipped through the walkway opening before me which I oy slightly saw how she moved quickly but not why.

A figure with their back faced towards me was jogging backward and shuffled into me before I could even react to stumbled back but caught myself

I reached out to help stop the cause to fall down by grabbing their arm with one hand and putting the other flat on their back.

Quickly we regained balance and they swooshed around to face me adjusting my bag and grabbing my phone that had slipped out of my hand through the chaos

I look a little above my straight eyeline to see a boy with dark curls that looked smooth and glanced over his soft eyes , eyebrows lifted, and finally his mouth which I finally noticed was   moving and felt a hand on my shoulder which fully brought me back to what just happened

"Hey you okay? " a slight chuckle released from the mouth I was viewing until I looked back to their eyes.

Gathering myself...

"Yea- no yea I'm okay sorry are you okay? "

" Never mind that. I didn't mean to run into you I should have paid attention... But hey thank for helping me by the way"

"Helping you? "

"Yea I wouldn't have caught this if you didn't keep me up"

He lifts a ball in his hands with what seems like dents in the some of the sides. I look back to him to see him giving a small smile his eyes locked on the ball and then me.

I return the smile and a laugh.

"No problem"

Out out my non focused view I see Mione walking towards us.

I shift my backpack once again on my shoulders and give him a quick smile.

"Well have fun and maybe grow eyes in the back of your head"

I quickly slip away to Hermione and walk to where Blaise sits on a stone bench.

Thinking I really hope he understood my attempt to make a joke.

Setting down my bag I take just a quick glance back at the situation, maybe to just see if he smiled or laughed or showed any emotion at all .. . .  . ..
