Where Am I? (OPEN)

[kopo]

She officially hated moving staircases. This was the third time that she had been walking down on one when it ha inexplicable swung to face another direction. The only problem with these stairs was that they didn't ever seem to swing back within a few minutes, either. Since she didn't know any alternate path to the fifth floor she continued up the stairs. The castle wasn't that big, she should be able to find her way if she was starting from somewhere else...right?

Apparently not. She had been wandering around for nearly twenty-minutes. She tried asking a few portraits but they were absolutely no help, a suit of armor came alive and tried to trip her, and a strange cackling ghost crossed her path at one point and threw pencils at her until she had run for three corridors. It was not a good day, she should have just went to dinner with the rest of the students instead of going in the opposite direction.

She came to window and looked out of it. After a moment of watching the grounds she rest her head against the glass and closed her eyes. She then groaned in frustration and asked to nobody, "Where am I?" She pulled away from the window and looked around the corridor; it gave absolutely no clue how to get back to a corridor she recognized. She ran a hand through her hair, sighed, and started walking again.

To her surprise, and relief, when she turned the corner there was somebody at the other end. "Hey!" She called out, not wanting them to move away, but also hoping that they were not a snappish person who disliked first years yelling at them down corridors.

AAhhh - to hear the light clicking of a skateboard on the corridor floors at Hogwarts again. It was truely a beautiful thing. His new deck had finally arrived. He was eternally grateful to his dad for not only buying it, but also sending it to him. It had arrived with the morning mail and Guy couldn't have been more excited. He carried the skateboard around with him to all of his classes, either sliding it into its holder on his backpack or just setting it under the desk. The stairs were a bugger, and the stone floor was a bit harsh, but Guy didn't mind. He decided that later in the day he would go down to the court yard and try out some tricks. For now, he was just coasting.

He was pretty sure that he would get into trouble for skateboarding inside, so he moved swiftly and carefully throughout the castle on his board. ' Hey! Guy had been so in the zone that he barely heard the voice calling out. To him? He guessed so because he was the only other person in the vicinity. " Yeah? " He called back out to the young girl as he maneuvered the board so he was on his way towards where she was standing.

The person heard her, much to Kopo's relief. She walked forward as he called back. So, what to say now? Help, I'm lost? That sounded to pathetic, as she came closer she noticed his skateboard. She had skateboarded a bit back home, she wasn't very good at it but she enjoyed the activity.

"Nice deck." She said, arriving in front of him she stopped a few feet away. "You any good?" She would save the asking for directions for a little later. After all who wanted to admit they were lost up front - no she would slip directions into the conversation somehow, but not say it flat out.

Guy stopped a few feet in front of the girl, one foot sitting idly on the deck, the other resting on the ground. He towered over the first year and grinned down at her. " Thanks, I just got it. " He said with a half shrug of his shoulders. He wasn't too much into name brands when it came to clothing or skating stuff. He usually didn't care about that kinda stuff, but this board was nice. It was an Element board, totally nice and totally awesome. Guy pulled his beanie cap down lower so it was a little lower on his forehead. The red cap was faded and old, but he liked it all the same anyway. It matched the red shirt he had on along with his ripped jeans and his skate shoes.

" I any good? Tricks haven't always been my forte, but I can skate yeah. Do you skate? " He was decent at tricks, but mostly just love skating for the feeling of it. Dropping into a hald pipe, or just skating around a park or something.

"A little," She shrugged. She could ollie and kickflip and drop into a half-pipe without killing herself in the process but not much more than that. She had found skateboarding fun but had never really had the time to learn how to get good at it. At her old school kids were always getting yelled at for riding around campus, she didn't see why the same rule wouldn't apply to here. "But won't you get in trouble if you get caught riding in the halls?" She asked, he was obviously a sixth or seventh year so he would no. If the answer was no, she might just have to pick her board up over spring break.

[Guy Styles]

" Yeah? I was gonna go down to the courtyards later and try it out outside. " It was saddening to him that he hadn't yet had a chance to try out his new board outside. He knew he would have time later, and for now coasting around the school wasn't really all that bad. He crossed his arms over his chest as he listened to the girl's question. He thought it was kind of funny that she would ask about something he had been worrying about a couple minutes previously. He stepped off the board completely and picked it up with his right hand, the left waving the question off slightly.

" I haven't a clue. I was kinda hoping not to run into any professors, though. Just in case. " He gave a joking wink and a grin to the girl. Guy offered the girl his left hand to shake, saying, " I'm Guy, by the way. Guy Styles. Who're you? " He knew she was new, just didn't know who she was exactly.
