<strong>Name:</strong>Charlize Renard<br/><strong>House/Year:</strong>Hufflepuff/4th<br/><strong>Bloodtype:</strong>Pureblood<br/><strong>Location: </strong>Corridors<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Gustav<br/><br/>The two of them just strolled along the corridors, looking at the golden plates on the doors.  Gustav had a lot of knowledge on venom and poisons from what she could gather based on his words and she wondered if he had a lot of knowledge on other things as well. Befriending him -or at least, trying to-  might just prove to be the brightest idea she had since the new year began. It was as if a whole new world was opening to her through Gustav’s memories and she wanted to hear more. It wasn’t exactly the “sweetest” kind of stories and maybe some of them sounded truly unbelievable, yet Gustav was so serious in relating them, that Charlize had no doubts regarding their truthful nature.<br/><br/>It didn’t really surprise her to hear him ask what was it that made her offer a tour. He didn’t know her until now and with the Slytherins being ..well…Slytherins…he had no idea that this was just common courtesy. Maybe a bit over the top, but not for her.  If there were a welcoming committee at Hogwarts, she would probably direct it.<br/><br/>“I thought you deserve one” she said smiling. “Your collegues aren’t renown for their social skills, but this doesn’t mean they’re bad people. I’m not very fond of the Slytherin House, but it did “produce” some great witches and wizards. Probably the most powerful ones in History…besides those who graduated from Gryffindor, of course. As for the Slytherins in our time…well, they do have several good points.” She wasn’t sure if it was perfectly alright to say the next words, but since he demanded honesty on her behalf, why shouldn’t she ask the same?<br/><br/>“I don’t think they like you very much. Still, I suggest that you try and get to know them a little better. They might be little<em>too</em>competitive at times, but I don’t think they can match your old house mates. “<br/><br/><em>”In some ways they may not be a match for you”</em>she thought and looked elsewhere, suddenly not feeling right to gaze at him like that.  They heard the loud cheerings and general chit-chatter coming from downstairs. Obiously, most of the students were leaving the Great Hall, heading for the common rooms.<br/><br/>“I think we should go back or else you might end up sleeping in the corridors tonight. Has anyone given you the password yet?”  Come to think of it, she didn’t know the secret knock to the Hufflepuff common room either. If anyone knew it, than that had to be Richard.<br/>They haven’t seen much of the first floor, but there will always be another day. She turned to face the grand staircase once more, waiting for him to approve. It seemed rude not to take into account his proposals, if he had any.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Charlie Mullins and Serena met up for a little “A&Q” of what they did over the summer. They came across Sarah Howls who was waiting outside the Great Hall for Charlize, seemingly a bit confused by the passing of Hufflepuff students and her not being amongst them.<br/><br/>“If you’re looking for Charlize she went off with the transfer student” Serena told her, obviously she was the only one paying attention at what happened at the Slytherin’s table. Charlie was baffled, why would Charlize do that? Hasn’t she heard the rumors? Even his own mates had a tooth to pick with him.<br/><br/>“Maybe we should go look for her” he suggested, but Serena gave him the cold shoulder in her natural way.<br/>“I think she can pretty much take care of herself. Don’t you have a password to get, by the way?” she said pointing at a group of Ravenclaws who were following Melinda Bagwell. Since he knew that getting her to say the password twice would be rather difficult, Charlie rushed over to them, not wanting to have to beg for entrance later on.<br/><br/>“So what’s with you and Summerby?” Serena asked her friend without any other introduction. “Are you seeing eachother?”<br/>
