Damien was going up to the library in lunch break, unlike most his age lessons and not breaks were his favourite part of the day. He had a small pile of books he’d borrowed yesterday and was returning today, under his arm and was quite happy that the corridors were almost deserted. It was quiet and he liked it that way. His mind on what book he would borrow from the library he didn’t see the Ravenclaw girl before it was too late and he’d knocked her to the floor, it was quite stupid the fact he hadn’t seen her as well, seeing as she was at least five inches taller than him. Standing at 5 foot wasn’t exactly something Damien prided himself on, but there you go. The books he was carrying had also managed to slip out from under his arm and on top of her. Damien immediately decided that she would probably think he did it on purpose seeing as he was a Slytherin, so he offered the girl his hand, “I - … Sorry?” he said, his voice hadn’t exactly broken yet, so it was slightly high pitched, adding to his embarrassment.

Zarahe went down to the ground with an "oomph!," and she flinched when the books fell on her. She looked up to see who had run into her, more of who she ran into. "Uh..." she started, and took his hand. "I-It's okay. No harm done."

Damien was blushing furiously as he helped the girl up; he hated being shy so much. Running a hand through his hair he then bent down and collected up his books, wondering whether or not he should say anything else to the girl, the idea scared him slightly, but so did the awkward silence looming over them.

"Are you alright?" she asked him. "I bumped into, I'm sorry."

“Me?” he replied, he then stood up, his books under his arm again, his grey eyes held her gaze for a second, she was very pretty, then flickered away quickly, “I’m fine… it was my fault… sorry,” he said.

She began to scratch at her ear. She really thought it was her fault, but let it drop. He's kinda cute. she thought. Curse those pre-teen hormones. "Uh.. I'm Zarahe Gianni." she said, introducing herself. She ran a hand through her hair, and looked away from him.

Damien smiled, “Damien Ri-,” he quickly stopped himself, he didn’t introduce himself to many people and was still not used to calling himself by a name that wasn’t his own, “Damien Clerk,” he said quickly, hoping she didn’t think him too weird for his slip up, he was also glad she wasn’t one of those Slytherin haters.

Actually, she wouldn't have guessed he was in Slytherin. She thought maybe he was in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, and she didn't like the trouble making Slytherins. Zarahe turned her gaze back to him, and smiled. "Uh.. nice bumping into ya." she said to add humor to the moment.

Damien grinned slightly at her joke, when he grinned it affected his whole face, his eyes turned into happy arrowheads and his ears pricked up slightly, giving him the appearance of some kind of happy elf. He was about to say something along the lines of ‘see you around then’, when two Slytherins ran past and jostled them, knocking Zarahe to the floor for the second time in as many minutes. Damien’s gaze followed the boys as they ran off, and then he turned back to Zarahe, “Are you okay?” he said, again, this time she’d been pushed over a lot harder than being knocked over by some one as tiny as himself.

Thank god she wasn't wearing a skirt as it would have went over her head. Her elbow was a little scraped, but other than that she was fine. Zarahe gave an annoyed look as she watched the two other Slytherins walk off. "I'm fine." she replied softly as she turned her attention to Damien.

Damien looked at her, “You’ve grazed your elbow,” he said, his grey eyes full of concern, he wanted to make sure that was all it was, but he had just met her and he wasn’t a very touchy-feely person so he asked first, “I – I could heal it for you if you want?” he said taking his wand out, but waiting for her permission before doing anything.

Zarahe got back to her feet, and dusted herself off. She looked at him when he asked if he could heal her elbow. "....Sure...?" she said. Whether or not he healed it she was going to fine, just a little scrape, no biggie. She gave a little smile in assurance. "I can't stand Slytherins.. the trouble making ones I mean." she said, talking about the kids from earlier. "They're the ones that give Slytherins a bad name."

Damien smiled to himself as she spoke, gently lifting up her arm in his hand, “Mm,” he replied as she said about ‘giving Slytherins a bad name’, he then put his wand to her elbow and muttered “Espikey,” it was fifth year spell, but not a very hard one and Damien had taught himself it at home. Taking his hand off her arm he smiled to her, “All done.”

Zarahe smiled,"Thanks." Zarahe.. you're making yourself look like a fool. Get a grip! she thought. She mentally shook off the thought and kept the smile on her face. "So....uh," she said trying to think of something to say.

“It's okay,” he said, looking at the floor as she tried to pick up the conversation, “I…” he added to the silence, then he wanted to say anything other than what he did say next, “I’ll see you round then?”
