Evan:
"So, are you in Slytherin too?" Asks Kit, running his hand over the back of his neck
"Yeah, I am" Evan replies, shoving his hands in his pockets.
Evan isn't very good with social interaction, he hasn't had much practice with it given that no one here ever really wants to be near him in case they get associated with him and start getting picked on by Barty Crouch too. Maybe Evan should warn Kit about this before they get too close.
But selfishly, Evan wants a friend, Evan wants to keep Kit in the dark for as long as he can because for once in his life he wants to have someone. Does that make him horrible?
"Great, can I follow you to the common room? I have no idea where it is" Kit asks nervously
"Sure, this place is huge so I can't imagine you know how to navigate it already" Evan replies, trying so hard to be relatable, trying so hard to be causal, but he just doesn't know how to exist in social situations
"Well, truth be told, Ilvermorny is a bit bigger than Hogwarts, it actually has two halves, one building for years 1-4 and the other building for years 5-7" Kit explains
"Oh, so this place should be a breeze for you to get used to then. It really doesn't take long to get familiar with the castle" Evan replies
"That's good to know, it seems to be neverending to me" Kit comments with a small nervous laugh.
Evan feels so abnormal, so suffocated. How can he get out of this? How can he exist in this situation? Social situations have always made him nervous, always made him awkward. Kit is trying to be nice, trying to converse with Evan, but Evan just doesn't know how to be, how to act, it's infuriating.
He can feel himself getting fidgety, he can feel his breathing becoming uneven. He isn't even sure if Kit is speaking, so focused on how bad he is at social situations. He needs to think about something, he needs to focus on facts.
One of the most dangerous beasts to exist is the Nundu, classified as XXXXX in Ministry rankings. The Nundu originates in Africa and is a leopard-like creature that prowls around silently, it's practically undetectable unless you're actively searching for it. The Nundu's breath causes disease to spread like wildfire and kill relatively quickly, which is how it kills
"I'm not keeping you from your friends?" Asks Kit
Evan looks at him and he can't help it, he laughs out loud in Kit's face, which must come across as extremely rude, but he forgets that Kit being a transfer means he has no idea that Evan has no friends and hasn't had any since first year.
The Billywig is an Australian creature, classified as X in Ministry rankings, rendering it pretty much harmless, they are sapphire blue creatures with wings attached to their head and they're known to be quite fast. Billywigs have a thin stinger at the base of their body but this isn't used for harm, in fact, being stung by a Billywig causes giddiness, followed by short-term levitation. However, too many Billywig stings can lead to permanent irregular and unpredictable bouts of levitation, this is also the case if you are allergic to Billywig stings.
"I'm sorry, did I say something funny?" Asks Kit, utterly confused, and rightfully so, to him, Evan is laughing for absolutely no reason.
"Sorry, I forget you don't know me, don't know this school. No, you're not keeping me from my friends, it's hard to keep me away from something I don't have" Evan replies
"Oh" is all Kit says '
Evan is completely sure he has fucked up this friendship up before it's even begun, which is typical for him really.
