Emmet was seen walking through the corridors or the Hogwarts castle. He was wearing his usual, a plaid shirt & some jeans. He didn't know how he felt about starting at a new school in all but hopefully something or someone would make the time go by pretty fast. He shrugged at bit at the thought of it, he really didn't care where he was as long as he knew that he could meet new people & go on about life.
Emmet then ran his fingers through his blonde hair & looked about. 'No one in sight.' He thought to himself. 'Maybe someone would come along soon?' He thought once more.

Lexi was wandering the corridors, not really paying too much attention to where she was heading if she was honest with herself. She'd intended to make her way back up from the Entrance Hall to the Ravenclaw common room where she could chill out, relax, maybe read a few things like the oh so typical Ravenclaw that she was.
But it seemed the appeal to read something was just too great to resist until she actually got back to the tower. She'd thrown open the Quibbler that she'd received from an owl at breakfast that morning and was walking, the magazine held up at eye level while she read, without paying an once of attention to where she was going.
She was just skimming through an article about how to cultivate your own dirigible plums, when something caught around her feet causing her to trip and tumble straight to the floor.
Lexi cursed quietly under her breath, the magazine was crumpled and torn in a few places. "Who on earth leaves something laying around in the middle of...." She sat up and turned to see what exactly she had tripped over. It was a person. She stopped ranting and smiled embarassedly. "Oh, um, sorry...guess I should pay more attention to where I'm going. Wasn't expecting there to be anyone else up here."

Emmet walked slowly down the corridor, looking from side to side at all of the pictures. He then put his hands in his jean pockets & sighed to himself. It was official, he was bored. He really didn't want to cause any mischief but when he was bored, his own little world got him into a lot of trouble.
He smirked a bit & then all of a sudden he was knocked off balance. Emmet shook himself off a bit & looked at who or what knocked him over. He was taken back a bit when he saw just exactly who it was, a girl? A GIRL knocked him over like that, geeze, he guessed he really wasn't paying attention. Emmet looked at the girl, smiled a bit, he walked over to her magazine & picked if up he then walked back over to her & held his hand out to help her up from off the ground. "Help up? & its alright, not the first time Ive been knocked off balance." He said to her with a smile. "I'm Emmet by the way & yourself?"

Lexi smiled gratefully as he offered her a hand up off of the floor. She took it and allowed the boy to help pull her to her feet. "Thanks." She smiled brightly, as she rubbed the dust off of her dark blue jeans and reorgaised her chestnut brown hair which had fallen into a tangle of waves as she fell.
"It's nice to meet you Emmet, I'm Lexi." She said, facing him properly for the first time since she'd knocked into him and sent them both flying to the floor. "Suppose I should know by now that reading and walking aren't exactly compatible."
She took him in a frowned, he didn't look like a first year, but he certainly had the air of 'newness' about him but she had to ask to be sure.
"So are you new here? That's not generally how I greet new people honestly."

When Emmet helped her up he nodded at her 'thanks' & smiled a bit. He looked at her with curiosity. 'Was she always this clumsy?' He thought to himself & laughed a bit at his own comment. He tried to pay the best attention to her as he could, but again he was getting bored, he always did get bored fast. Emmet shook his thoughts & tried to listen. "Nice to meet you." He said to her & looked around a bit.
Emmet listened to her new comment. He sighed a bit at it & rolled his eyes. He never did like being the new kids at the school, but as long as he hid himself then maybe no one would notice. "Well I wouldn't think its how you meet people, but I guess its a new way to & yea sadly, kinda transfer, kinda thing." He said to her & scratched the back of his head. "So what is there to do around here?" He asked.

"Oh right, transfer student...well I didn't think you were a first year." Lexi shrugged, he didn't seem to really want to talk about it so Lexi dropped the subject. She supposed it didn't really matter that much she was just curious.
So what was there to do around there that was fun, well more fun than just wandering the corridors seemingly lost. Lexi could think of a few things but she wasn't sure the boy would be interested in the geeky Ravenclaw passtimes and so she had to think a bit harder.
"Um, well at the moment I suppose its not so interesting as there aren't many people here yet and term hasn't really started and all that." Lexi shrugged. "How much of the castle have you seen?" She asked, exploring was always interesting, and no matter how well you thought you knew the place there was always something new to find. "There's usually some fun to be had in exploring it, this place is huge and not to mention magical, usually something interesting to be found about the place."

Emmet looked at her & then sighed a bit. "Lexi? Right? I don't mean to be rude or anything, but we need to start walking or something, if I stay in one place to long I start to loose focus & interest in what is around me & who I am talking to." He said to her & waited for her reply on that.
Emmet really didn't mean to be rude, at least he wasn't trying to be, he was stereotyped because he was a slytherin & arnt all slytherin's supposed to be mean? Well nope, not Emmet. He was actually really nice, he just had a bit of a problem... boredom. It always got the best of him. He shook his thoughts & looked back at Lexi. "No I'm not, I'm actually a fourth year, how about yourself?" He asked her.
Emmet then took a step to the side & then took a step back. He did mention he had a problem with staying in one stop to long. He looked at her & smirked a bit. "Well, I really haven't seen anything, just a few things, but not much, this place is vary new & arnt all magical castles different?" He said with a small laugh.

"Oh, ok." Lexi frowned, seemed a bit weird to her that he needed to keep moving to be able to concentrate. Was the other way around for Lexi, well sort of she could concentrate just fine walking around (as long as she was looking where she was going) as long as she wasn't trying to work a spell or do maths or something. Lexi shook herself out of her thoughts and started to walk with Emmet down the corridor.
Fourth year, hmm he wouldn't really be at Hogwarts for that long then Lexi supposed, only 3 years didn't seem like much time at all. But then not everybody liked school as much as Lexi did. Typical Ravenclaw.
"oh, I'm a second year. And in Ravenclaw. You been sorted into a house already?" She wasn't sure how it worked having never met a transfer student before but she was sure they didn't get sorted at the ceremony with the first years. "So where were you going to school before?"
Lexi had a feeling that he hadn't wanted to talk about it much, but her mind struggled to think of something else to ask and that question wouldn't leave her head. "And yeah I suppose every magical castle is 'different', why how many have you visited then? I'll show you around a bit if you like. Can't claim to know everything about this place but can show you a bit."
