A crashing meeting (Aileen)

[victor shamble]

    Victor found his way to the courtyard. It was a rather common place to end up going when traveling to classes. Course, he was just getting out of one. Taking out the silver pocket watch. He looked at the time provided. He had a good while before his next class, so there was no hurry to run off throughout the whole building looking for it. Closing the watch as he stood there, a sigh left him. Perhaps today was going to be a okay day?

Aileen walked out to the courtyard and dwelled on her thoughts. She hadn't got more classes today, she just finished her last one for today and was kind of proud that today nothing clumsy has happend to her. She didn't watch her step and didn't look were she was going, when she walked just into someone. Not prepared for this crash, she tumbled to the ground and her bag she was holding with one hand felt as well and opened so that her studying stuff was distributed around her. She got up to her hands and knees and collected everything quickly, first not looking up, because she didn't want to overlook any of her things. "Tá brón orm", she said and then noticed she was talking irish and blushed a bit. "I'm so sorry, I was kind of absent in mind", she added, smiling apologizing and still blushed. Then she looked if she had collected all her things. So much about nothing awkward today...

    When he felt something bump into him, it startled him. Turning around and looking at the person who bumped into him, he saw them on the ground. Usually he was in that place not the other way around. He was about to help her pick up her things when she started doing so and seemed to finish rather quickly. 

    "A...are...you...o...okay?" Victor stuttered.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm allright, things like this happen to my allways", she said and stood up. "Again, I'm really sorry..." She smiled at the young man she'd runned in. He was taller than her, something that wasn't really difficult, but he was even taller than many of the others at the University. Then she looked at him, what really was difficult. Why must everyone be so tall and she so tiny?!? "I'm Aileen, by the way, but you could call me Ai or Lynn if you want to", she said and didn't stop smiling. "What's your name?" He seemed kind of nervous, and Aileen couldn't tell if it was because of her crashing into him, or because he liked stuttering... No idea why anyone would like stuttering, but maybe this was the way he was...? God, please, thoughts, don't be this odd, she told herself but happily not loudly and only in her mind. She was allways thinking such odd things!

    "It...it's fine..." Victor said.

    Well she seemed nice, but then again he had been wrong before. Mainly he was always wrong before. Victor's shoulders hunched a bit and he seemed to stand a bit hunched over as well as leaning back. Rather strange position but since he wasn't on the floor nor leaning against something, it was strange looking.

    "V...Victor...Sh...Shamble." Victor answered.

Aileen looked at him. He was still stuttering... Was she so scaring?? "Well, you're fine, I'm fine, everything's fine, isn't it?", she asked. She was talking fast, because she didn't know what to think about that guy in front of her, who was standing there in a way that was more odd than her thoughts were. Also her irish accent made it's way in her words. It was allways there, but now you could hardly overhear her origin. Aileen wasn't flushed anymore, but she still was smiling- Well, you could hardly see her without a smile on her lips, she loved smiling as much as she loved her hair.

    Victor only nodded. He knew he would only stutter further if he tried talking. It was natural. His accursed nature that rained supreme over him. Wasn't his fault though, in a way yes it was but in other was it wasn't. Holding the pocket watch in his hand, he tightened his grip on it. Closing the watch and making the metallic click sound that was so well known of it to make once closed. Victor really didn't have an accent to his knowledge, yes he was from America but that didn't mean he had one.

Aileen looked at the watch Victor was holding in his hand. "Pretty one", she said and looked up to his face again. Other students looked at them and Aileen was sure that anyone of the other Gryffindors would come to her later and ask here who this Ravenclaw boy was she'd been talking to. This was childish, but... It would fit to some of the others of her house. "With pretty one I didn't meant that I want it too, not that you think something wrong of me. I only meant that it's a really pretty watch",  she added hastily. "That's not the way I am" She realized, that she was talking to much, just like allways and sighed. "I annoy you, don't I? I allways annoy everyone." That was a fact she discovered since she was at Hogwarts University...

[victor shamble]

    It surprised Victor that she referred to the ancient pocket watch as pretty one. It wasn't because it was old that surprised him by her calling it that. But it was the fact it had a few dents and markings that she would still call it that. Victor wouldn't get rid of it for anything. It just surprised him.

    "N...no. Y..you don't." Victor said, if anything, Victor thought she was similar to him in a way; confidence wise.

Aileen smiled really happily, when Victor said that she wasn't annoying and she hugged him for saying that. No really really blushed she released him from her embracement and looked at him kind of embarrassed. She wished that the ground would open and swallow her up. "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just... I allways do this, without thinking, I'm really sorry", she said hastily. She allways hugged everyone and till now, she had no idea why! She took a step back and looked at Victor with an apologizing faint smile. Now he'll think I'm crazy, just like hardly everyone does...
