Aria walked to the Slytherin table, picking a spot as far away from the others as she possibly could. "You're that Aria chick right?" a male voice sounded in her ear causing Aria's head to snap up and almost head butt with a light brown haired boy, huh I must of not sat far enough away from everyone. "Yes I'm her" Aria answered grabbing a strawberry from the fruit bowl that sat in front of her. It had been weird lately, Aria had started to get more and more confident while talking to people, although the whole ordeal still made her terribly uncomfortable. "I've seen you hanging around that Gryffindor boy, Michael Crowley" the boy said, without any particular emotions in his voice, which made Aria curious. He didn't sound angry about it, what was he trying to pull with her? "I don't really think that's any of your business" Aria replied with a slight sharpness to her voice, warning the boy to drop the subject. Usually Aria was pretty good at keeping a calm demeanor but she was having a bad day today. "Right sorry for prying" the boy backed off the subject quickly, to Aria's complete amazement.<span style="font-style: italic">Was this kid really in Slytherin?</span><br/><br/>Aria turned her body so she could look at the boy, messy light brown hair, brown eyes and tan skin. He was basically your typical heart throb, although Aria was surprised she had never seen him around before. "I'm Steven by the way, Steven West" Steven told her, holding out his hand for her to shake and she accepted.<span style="font-style: italic">Was this guy actually be genuine with her?</span><span style="font-style: italic">Was this a result of her hanging around Michael?</span>"Are you just being nice to be because you saw me around Crowley" Aria used Michael's last name to make sure this boy wouldn't think they were close, she couldn't have other people know she needed a tutor. Steven laughed lightly and shook his head, grinning at Aria, causing her to furrow her eyebrows in confusion. "No... actually I've wanted to talk to you for a long time" Steven said feigning shyness, Aria searched his eyes for any sign of lying but she couldn't tell. "Well you'll be disappointed to know that I'm not that interesting" Aria with a shrug her shoulders not buying the fact that this guy just suddenly decided today was the day to talk to her.<br/><br/>"We'll see about that" Steven mumbled quietly to himself, but Aria didn't hear him she just continued to eat the fruit that was in front of her. "So what classes do you have today?" Steven asked Aria, trying to make conversation. "Actually I only had Defense Against the Dark Arts today, I don't have anymore classes until tomorrow" Aria answered as she picked up a piece of watermelon. "Lucky I wish I didn't have anymore classes today, I have potions next" Steven groaned causing Aria to laugh a bit at the boys distaste for potions. "Oh come on potions isn't that bad" Aria replied shaking her head at the whining boy, potions was one of her favorite classes. Really she liked any class that didn't involve her using her wand. "I suck at potions! I always end up missing something or adding to much of something, plus I swear Snape has it out for me!" Steven continued while Aria just laughed at him, sure Snape was intimidating but he wasn't to bad.
