Charles was roaming around the castle as usual, he'd missed this place a lot because it had seemed that the summer holidays had lasted a long, long time. Not that he didn't enjoy holidays, it was just less eventful with his family, no matter how hard he tried to pull pranks along the way.

He was still thinking about what Cherry had said to him on the train, about how he had to pull himself together and think of actually studying as it was O.W.L year. Her words were somewhat scary, especially as far as not having any future if he didn't get enough OWLs. He assumed that he did need a good future, even if he didn't want one. Both his parents being the hard-working Healers they were, he wasn't likely going to get any help from any of them, if his education level dropped below their expectations.

It's not all about studies, he thought irritably to himself, and then registering that he didn't really know where in Hogwarts he was, he stopped and looked around the wide corridor realising that it was a long way from the Gryffindor tower. He saw a girl standing at the side of the corridor, apparently alone, and he wondered what she was doing there. She seemed kind of lost maybe, but she didn't look young enough to be a first year. Maybe she was waiting for someone, but Charles couldn't resist his intrefering nature,

"Hey," He said, looking at her curiously.
