[/color][/size] It was already late at night and everyone was tucked in their beds when Elle woke up with her tummy grumbling terribly. She sat up from her bed and touched her tummy i think a little cracker would do She reached to her side table for some chocolate covered crackers but to her surprise she was out of her precious midnight snack.well i guess a little trip to the kitchen wouldn't hurt She thought of it for a while but her stomach overpowered her brain to the decision. She was sneaking out to get something to munch on.
Before she stood up,she quietly looked around to see if any of her dorm mates were awake to make sure she wouldn't get caught.when she was sure no one was awake, She slowly stood up from her bed trying not to make any noise. Just when she was about to put on her slippers she heard a noise. It was just her dorm mate's pet toad. She hates that thing but for 6 years she has lived with that toad (together with her dorm mate) so she got used to it around. She went down to the common room as stealthily as she can and stopped for a while to check if no one can see her going out to the hallway. the kitchen is only a few meters away so i won't get caught so easily. she thought to herself but as she did she couldn't help but look at her back to see if someone is following her. She didn't want her house to lose points because of her. she hurriedly and quietly went to the painting of the fruit bowl and tickled the pear which in response turned into a door knob. Elle turned the knob and entered the kitchen and to her surprise an house elf already stood in front of her. it asked "what can i do for you?" and Elle responded with "i just want to get something to eat. a little snack" and the elf held her hand and guided her to a table and a chair. Elle sat in one of the chair and waited for the house elf to come back with whatever food it has for her.

Justin woke up, panting, in the middle of the night. He sat up on bed, looking disgruntled. As he wiped the cold sweat that formed on his face, he tried hard to remember the nightmare he just had. Images began to flood into his brain: Peter the Ripper appearing with a long sword and began slashing the people he loved into bits and when he chanced upon him and Prudence, he tried to shield his body for her but as he saw the madman's sinister smile, he knew that he was going to die...and without hesitation, he swung his sword and pierced the both of them. He did not feel any pain, he was falling into nothingness...and then he woke up.
He then slowly got up from bed and went to the mirror to check himself. He felt his body to check whether he still had a complete set of limbs and body parts. When he ascertained that his body was still intact, he went over to his bed, sat down on it and sighed. He then realized that it has been two nights that the same nightmare recurred. Suddenly, he felt his stomach growl. He then smiled to himself and stood up. He then threw a pair of black slacks and a white dress shirt and after a few minutes, was dressed well enough for the kitchens. He then opened the door cautiously and went out.
He then made his way towards the kitchens, careful not to be seen by anyone. When he finally found the painting and did the customary pear tickling. When it finally turned into a doorknob, he turned it and stepped inside. Immediately he was approached by a house elf who asked him what he wanted to eat. "Just toast and hot chocolate," he replied immediately. He then settled himself on one of the tables when his eyes caught sight of someone sitting opposite him. From the looks of it, she did not seem familiar to him at all but it seemed like she was older than him. "Hi. Do you always come here too?" he then asked. Deep inside he did not understand why he suddenly asked that question in the first place. The girl might think he was intruding after all.

The house elf returned to her carrying what looks like a bowl of chocolate covered cookies just as she wanted it and also a mug of hot milk. As the Elf puts down the food she smiled at it and said "thank you" She grabbed one of the cookies and ate her way to happiness. when she was halfway through her second cookie she saw that there was someone coming from the entrance of the kitchen. She stopped and waited for the figure to become clearer. She didn't want to get scolded at by a professor for running to the kitchens this late at night. Elle sighed as she saw that it was also a student. As he sat opposite to her she couldnt help but stare at him and just when she was about to ask what he was doing here the boy asked something and she replied "oh i dont regularly do this but I do go here sometimes when my midnight snack is out of reach (literally)" she then asked the boy what she intended to ask " hungry eh?" and as she looked at the boy she couldnt help but notice he looks rather not 'fit' that time. She has seen this boy once in a while but she can't really put in mind where. "do i know you?" she couldnt help but asked. She was one of those people who lacks self control which also is one reason she sneaked out to the kitchen just for a little snack. "i think i saw you somewhere before" was all she can say. Elle didnt want him to think she was like a little stalker. She actually was the one who gets stalked by alot when she was in her muggle school which made her slightly scared to talking to boys because she usually does so before the a certain boy follows her every move. It was creepy but when she found out about her mother it was clear to her that it wasn't her fault neither was it the boy's fault but it was more like her genetic make-up's fault. Which she cannot control it. She ate the cookies and drank milk as she thought of this and looked at the boy waiting for him to answer her questions.

Justin merely regarded the girl with a curious look. Suddenly, his brow furrowed as he realized who she really was. Now he knew why it seemed like he was drawn to her. It was a good thing he managed to exercise a lot of self-control not to run over and do things that he might regret later. He then let out an audible sigh to calm his nerves as he tried to answer her question. “Yes, I suddenly felt the need to satisfy my hunger. Besides, I haven’t had any dinner so…” he trailed off, surveying her expression. It seemed that she was trying to study his expression and from the looks of it, she seemed to have seen through him. He then wondered whether it seemed very obvious that he was distressed. He was then snapped out of his reverie when she suddenly asked him if she knew him. He then shook his head slowly and said, “No, I do not think I have seen you before here either.” It was true that he was familiar with most of the students and that it was a good thing he was living a perfectly normal life as a Hogwarts Student. When she stated that she had seen him before, he merely gave her a knowing smile that spoke legions. To some students, he was merely a face in the crowd, apart from his few friends and those who knew his true identity.
He then turned his head just in time to see the house-elf bearing a tray of toast and a steaming mug of hot chocolate. He thanked the elf and set the tray on the table. He then dipped the toast into the mug of hot chocolate and ate it. As he ate, he casted another glance at the girl sitting opposite him and wondered whether she had known who he really was. But then again, she had already said that she had seen him before, which seemed like a vague statement to him. He then remembered that he had not introduced himself to her yet. “Pardon my rudeness, I have not yet introduced myself. My name is Justin Law, 5th year Slytherin,” he then said as he extended his left hand towards her. “Pleased to make your acquaintance…” he then trailed off, realizing that he does not even know her name.

Elle raised one of her eyebrows as the boy looked at her. She was used to this but the way he was looking it seems like she has seen the whole of his soul. Which is not true. She was not a mind reader. She doesnt even know if there is such a magical talent. If there was,well, she really didnt want that for her. She would like it better to get to know the person slowly than just get into their minds. She thinks its also rude to do so. It's like invading privacy which she is very much concerned about too.
She took the last cookie to her mouth and heard the boy introduce himself as Justin Law which she has not heard of even just once. She was wrong when she said she had seen him around. It is probably just a few times in the great hall or the library but other than that she wouldnt see him in class and things similar to it since, like he said, he is in the 5th year. She then shook Justin's hand and said "it's nice meeting you Justin" she took out one of her friendly smile and let go of the boy's hand and introduced herself " I'm Larentina Eliza Baros. Everybody calls me Elle and I prefer to be called Elle" She was being honest. She didn't like her given name that much. She didnt blame anybody but she was proud to say that it is also her grandmother's name,someone she never even met. as she remembered this she continued introducing herself "I'm a hufflepuff 6th year" she smiled again a bit curious of the boy's reaction since he was slytherin and these bunch dont go with her bunch that much there are some exceptions which she never really mind about.
