Ajax Mostafa- Torignis
---------------------

"Really?" I said, after learning that Akina was in Ravenclaw. "I was sorted into Gryffindor, but most of my friends were Ravenclaws," I told her. "I really don't know where I'll be going this year...hopefully Torignis, simply because I think I fit that description the best."

"Well then, I wonder if we'll be in the same house..." she said, not very enthusiastically.

"Oh...yeah..." I sighed; I was hoping to have seen more of her at Aortas. "But hey, that doesn't mean we won't see each other. Maybe we'll have double classes together, and there's always the weekends..."

She giggled. "Yea, ok," she replied. For the first time since we had gotten the ice cream I took my eyes off of her for a second and looked over her shoulder; it was getting dark.

"Say, do you want to finish these on the way back to the Leaky Cauldron?" I suggested, pointing to my ice cream cone. "It's getting dark..."

"Sure," she answered, and she smiled. As we strolled down the street, I tried to walk along side her rather than in front of her; apparently, I was walking too fast. As we approached the Leaky Cauldron, I held the door open for her; she was still eating her ice cream cone (and, of course, I wanted to be nice). She had about finished it when we were going up the stairs, though, and we began passing by the first few rooms. I turned to her.

"What room are you in?" I asked.
