TALLIA yallexTallia cocked her head to the side and rose an eyebrow, “You drew her?” She asked, and tilted her head back. “Well I think that’s sweet. Was she embarrassed or something to see it there?” Tallia asked, genuinely curious. If she saw someone randomly drawing her and found it she’d be creped out at first, a little, then find it flattering. However she didn’t know how this Adelle chick reacted. She sighed to herself when she realized she had zoned out again, and needed to stay in the real world. “No, I don’t know her. Never heard of her actually.” Tallia replied, trying to put that name with a face, but the face remained blank.
“That’s good then.” Talia said to the remark ‘you read my mind’. She didn’t know if she should smile, not smile, scowl, grin, pretend she was laugh… or anything. “Ok,” Tallia nodded as she turned her head in the direction she directed.
“No, you’re not boring me, I think it would be exciting to be drawn… Ok, well just tell me when you’re going to draw them then, yeah.” She told him, and put a small toothless smile on her lips.

nikolaus hewitt “Well I think that’s sweet. Was she embarrassed or something to see it there?”
"Well neither," Nick explained,"She was actually.. well, creeped out frankly, but that`s understandable. But I explained why to her and she was flattered."
“No, you’re not boring me, I think it would be exciting to be drawn… Ok, well just tell me when you’re going to draw them then, yeah.”
"I thought about that, and I was trying to decide it i should do that or not.. I kind of like it when they don`t know you`re drawing them. People just look more natural, happier i guess, like the way its supposed to be," He mused, looking at her inquisitively.
He looked at her for a moment, still. Talia`s eyes lifted to his face as well and they stared at each other for a moment. She had pretty eyes, they were sort of hazel with something special lurking within them. He pondered to himself however he could capture such a beautiful essence on paper. To break the tension, Nick turned back to the sketchpad, retracing the line of her cheekbones.
"So you`re a Ravenclaw, right? How`s that working out for you?" Nick asked her, eyes still on the sketchpad. Ravenclaw is my second favorite house I suppose.. followed by Hufflepuff, then lastly..

TALLIA yallexTallia nodded, absent minded. She wouldn’t have minded if someone drew her out of the blue, she’d prefer that than her asking them to draw her. “Well, that’s good that she let you explain it to her, she might have been really creped out and ran away.” Tallia joked, laughing slightly. She mentally scolded herself for laughing. Her laugh was one of those pretty, light laughs that most girls had. It was like gurgling water, it sounded like she was being drowned it water, but at least it had personality.
She smiled at what he said and completely agreed, “yeah, they’re not posing, or smiling or acting fake… they’re just being them. Just being.” Tallia said that, looking out in front of her, although she wasn’t really looking, she was just thinking. She liked to think, it was one of those things that no one could judge her for, because no one could see or hear them.
Tallia brought herself back and looked into Nicks eyes for a minute, then got embarrassed, and looked away. She hadn’t realized she was staring at him till it was too late, he probably thought she was som creeper, staring at hi like that. She looked up again and noticed his face for the first time, though she didn’t know how she missed it when they first met. He wasn’t absurdly gorgeous, nor was he down right ugly. He was extremely good looking though. Tallia cursed herself for thinking that and went back to posing for the picture.
She nodded, and stared down into her lap, “it’s working out well,” Tallia giggled, but stopped herself quickly “I’ve never heard anyone ask me such a question…” Tallia pondered aloud “I mean, it’s not a bad question or stupid or anything… it’s just nice to know that somebody wonders… or something.” Tallia said with out thinking, for once. “So.. How’s being a Slytherin working out for you?” She asked him. She wanted to know what it was like to be a Slytherin, to be the head of all the ridicule, to be judged before anyone knew you, to cause some of the trouble, to get in trouble for things they never did.why is this soo long?! width wise XD)

Nicky the Hewitt “So.. How’s being a Slytherin working out for you?”
"Well I suppose," Nick mused once again," When I was first sorted into Slytherin years ago, I heard what people said about them and I wondering if something was wrong with me.. Then I decided it would be better to focus on the positive things, like for instance, Slytherins are witty, clever." Like how you pulled of that illegal potion supply business, that was clever.
He was almost done now, it was just a sketch after all. Though part of him didn`t want him to be finished. He was right after all, drawing Talia had been fun. She didn`t look like the other girls, with their thin lifeless faces and stick straight hair. She looked, well happy. Though he noted this with some light envy, he disregarded that.
"I wouldn`t have minded being a Ravenclaw either, but my father was a Slytherin, so that also gives me benefits. I`m trying to use it to my advantage though. Not the way some of the other Slytherin sixth years use their pureblood status, which they use with brutality," He noted to himself that he might sound one dementional right now, perhaps in her eyes even shallow. He was just sort of saying whatever popped into his head, he felt comfortable right there.

TALLIA yallexTallia laughed her unattractive laugh, forgetting to clamp her hand over her mouth or stop herself before her laughing became to outrageous, and looked down into her lap. “Yeah, Slytherins are pretty witty, and clever. I don’t think I’ve met very dumb slytherins… but no ones dumb at this school.” Tallia mentioned, still staring down into her lap. She didn’t know what she found so fascinating there, but maybe she just didn’t want to look up. She began to think of what all the houses meant, and when she came to Ravenclaw, she didn’t know what they were. “Hey, “ she began, looking up at last “do you know what Ravenclaw means… I can understand if you don’t but I can’t seem to remember.” AS she sat there, patiently, she questioned the sorting hats decision, why did it post her in Ravenclaw, and not in Gryffindor, Hufflepuff or Slytherin. She didn’t know why she was thinking that all of a sudden, she loved being a Ravenclaw, but she wondered what it’d be like to be in another house.
Her eyes danced when he said that “I think you’d be great in Ravenclaw.” She really meant it. He was nothing like the other Slytherin boys she met, he was different… very different. “I think Slytherins and Ravenclaws are very similar… I don’t know why. They’re both smart and witty. Though they claim that Slytherins are more… what is it, mean? Oh I don’t know.” Tallia continued “You should use everything you have to your advantage” She added quickly.
She started to drift off into her own world again when she remember he was sketching a picture of her “Are you almost done?” She asked him, she wanted to se it, but somewhere inside she didn’t want him to. If he did maybe he’d get up and leave, or maybe she’d have to. She liked sitting here, talking to him, relating to him. It was something she had never experienced with someone new before.

NICK HEWITT, BITCH “do you know what Ravenclaw means… I can understand if you don’t but I can’t seem to remember.”
"Well it means you`re very intelligent," Nick noted,"you really have your priorities in a way that knowledge is at the top of the list."
“I think you’d be great in Ravenclaw.” She really meant it. He was nothing like the other Slytherin boys she met, he was different… very different. “I think Slytherins and Ravenclaws are very similar… I don’t know why. They’re both smart and witty. Though they claim that Slytherins are more… what is it, mean? Oh I don’t know.”
"I suppose its all because of how most of the dark lord`s supporters were from Slytherin. And He was in my house as well," He said, pondering the idea himself. There are things she doesn`t know about me. Care to enlighten her? No thank you.. After the sentence came out, Nikolaus realized that he had called Voldemort, the dark lord. It really was just habit more than anything, his father was near death eater status many years ago. "Some people in my house tend to be mean though. We all can be sometimes. Way to spin it..
“Are you almost done?”
He turned the sketch pad around, to show her her own adorable face. He smiled slightly.
"Its not perfect.. I couldn`t get your eyes right.."

TALLIA yallexTallia smiled, and looked down into her lap, “I don’t think I fit very well into that category. I really don’t know why I became… well was chosen to be a Ravenclaw. I’m not that smart.” Tallia explained as she thought over her previous marks. She had never gotten troll before, or dreadful. Most of the Time it was Outstanding or excellent plus a few times she got acceptable, but she wished her marks were more…. Solid. She sighed to her self, and tilted her head slightly when she remembered she was being sketched. She lifted her head, and put on the same smile she wore.
As he said that she gave him a quizzical look. What did that have to do with him being in Slytherin? “I’m sorry,” Tallia began placing her eyes in her lap again, then looking up quickly “I don’t understand. What do you mean?” She asked him. She hoped she didn’t sound incoherent, she had no clue what he was talking about, Voldermort, the same house. She wanted him to explain it further. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him questionably. He was a little mysterious to her, but she liked that in a person… more or less a boy. “Well I don’t think you’re mean. Well you haven’t been mean to me yet, have you?” She asked him trying to make a point. She really hoped he was different and not as fickle or ignorant as Paxton, or the whole pack of other slytherins.
She watched ads he put down his pencil, and turned the sketchbook over , and showed her face. She was in awe of how fantastic it looked. Way better than the real thing. “I think it’s perfect,” she replied, her voice quiet as she reached out for the sketchbook, she wanted to see it up close. She wanted to see that the drawing didn’t have any faults, any flaws like her, the real thing.

NICK HEWITT, you animal! “I don’t understand. What do you mean?”
"C`mon, you can`t honestly tell me that you haven`t heard about Slytherins` rep? You haven`t heard the whole 'No wizard ever went bad that wasn`t in Slytherin?'," He said to her, a little confused at her response,"I mean its not completely true, but yeah, Slytherins tend to be more into dark magic."
“Well I don’t think you’re mean. Well you haven’t been mean to me yet, have you?”
"Glad to hear, I wasn`t trying to be," Nick said, a bit cheerier, then the whole thought kind of struck him,"Slytherins don`t have to be mean you know. They can be nice, they just like to try other types of magic.. for fun, I guess. I beleive that I was placed in Slytherin, besides the clever reason, because I tend to be terribly jealous at times." Yeah, you don`t even know..
“I think it’s perfect,”
He smiled at the idea. "Well I don`t know about perfect, but it certainally came out pretty.. just like you". He smiled a friendly smile at her and instead of turning back his sights to the page, continued to look at her happily. He hoped this meant they were friends, or at least friendly acquaintances.

TALLIA yallexTallia was a little taken aback. Of course she had heard of the terrible reputation Slytherins had, she was just no fully comprehending what he meant. “It’s not like I don’t know” She told him, a little insulted. “ I have heard of all those things, I was just wondering where you were taking that part of our conversation…” She trailed off, terrified that she insulted him or something. She stopped talking and looked away. She didn’t know how, or why she became terribly shy. Her old self was never like this. Maybe something from her past was coming back to haunt her. “Right…” She whispered to herself quietly, then turned back to Nick.
“Yes,” Tallia started as she plucked a yellow flower from the ground. If she wasn’t so troubled she would have put it in her hair, but she couldn’t bother with doing that. She instead began pulling off the beautiful petals. “Yes, well a lot of evil, manipulative Slytherins give them a bad name. Trust me, all… Slytherins… all people have some.. Evil in them” Tallia said, but decided not to include ‘but Slytherins tend to be the worst’ She kept that to her self. She didn’t want to destroy a friendship before it even started.
She looked down when he said that. She was never called pretty that many times, she was usually called cute…but nothing extraordinary special. “Thank you.” She replied, blushing. She looked up a little and took the sketchbook gently. She ran her index finger over it making sure it didn’t smudge. She smiled and handed the book back to him. She got off her bottom and crawled beside him, where she had been sitting before. She leaned her head against the tree and sighed.
“Hey Nick, do you ever feel like you’re not good enough… for anything?” She asked him, as she closed her eyes, and waited for his answer she predicted it would be something like “No, or sometimes,” but it would never be all the time.
