A possible friend? (Closed to Aylee Walters)

Morgana walked aimlessly through the castle, wondering what to do. She was contemplating to go to the owlery to send a letter with one of the owls there, but she really didn't know what to say. Nothing much had happened since she had talked with her father, except that she had gotten closer with some people, and gotten to know others. But honestly, she wouldn't deem that as interesting herself, so she was pretty sure that Mordred wouldn't.

She reached the Transfiguration courtyard and smiled at that. She liked it here. There were a lot of people around, of course, but the place was just so idyllic that it didn't seem to matter so much. People were laughing and having a good time, performing some spells and whatnot. She walked over to a tree that was standing in one of the corners, and didn't see the girl that was standing there, and bumped her shoulder.

Morgana quickly turned and frowned. "I'm sorry, are you okay?" she asked, hoping she hadn't hurt someone, pissed someone off, or something. Then she recognized the girl.

Morgana didn't say anything about the stuttering, but she did notice that the girl seemed a bit annoyed at her own stuttering. At least, that's what Morgana could make of it. She hadn't looked annoyed when Morgana bonked her shoulder, so that wasn't it. And she wasn't annoyed when she spoke, but directly afterwards. So, Morgana figured it'd be best to not say anything about it, or even let her notice that she had noticed.

"Good," Morgana said, putting on a smile and stretching out her hand. "I'm Morgana Gaunt, first year Slytherin," she said, even though the girl might've already noticed.

She knew it wasn't usual to be so straightforward when it came to first years, but even though Aylee might not know, it was because of her own defects as a person. She wasn't sure if she appreciated feeling so detached from feelings, or if she found it sad that she couldn't be as nervous and giddy as other people.

Morgana gave a smile. "It's nice to officially meet you, Aylee, after that run-in with Sydney," she said softly, "Is she alright, by the way?"

Morgana looked around herself with a big, but happy sigh. "I like it a lot. I never thought I could get so attached to a place in such a small amount of time, really," she mused, "I just don't grow attached to things so easily. The place is huge, though!"

She then frowned lightly. "You're a second year, right? Do you know your way around by now, or is it still pretty confusing?" she asked kindly.

Morgana nodded. "I'm glad to hear it," she said softly. Sydney had been the first person she met when at Hogwarts. Though they hadn't really talked much, it still meant something that she was the first friendly person Morgana got to talk with. But it was somewhat clear that Aylee didn't want to talk about the quarrel they had been in, so she decided not to further pursue the subject.

She smiled. "Yeah, I hope so. I mean, I know my way to where I should know my way, but still, there's so many things I want to find out about. And to wander down the corridors. Of course, it would be pretty epic to always have that knowledge that you can never know the castle through and through, so you have lots of chances of going on exploration trips, but..." she said, and then sighed.

"Peeves? Oh, the poltergeist? I haven't met him yet, but from what I've heard of him, I really should stay away, yes. But thanks for the reminder. I had completely forgotten about him," she said with a small chuckle.
