Outdoors was nice, though. Less crowded.
Edric was just finishing off some notes on his homework, which he had laid out on his lap, when a girl suddenly appeared, sitting down on the next bench beside the boy's. Normally Edric wouldn't have paid any attention, but he couldn't help noticing the way she was just soaking up all the sun like it was a warm shower on a winter day or something.
Of course, he couldn't help but intrude unconventionally.
"First time seeing the sun?"
Maybe she'd just arrived on Earth from a sun-less planet.
Amelia turned her head to look at the boy who'd intruded on her sun soaking time with his strange comment. He was weird, she decided before turning her whole body to look at him.
"It is," she assured him seriously. "I've been stuck down in a dungeon," which was at least true. What with her being a Slytherin and all. And she hadn't been out in the sun for a long time so she wasn't even tanned anymore. That would need to change.
"You, however appear to be very familiar with this strange light," she observed, giving the boy a slight smile. It was good to appear friendly when meeting new people. Even if they were strange.
