Some "Light Reading" (Open)

[Deleted]

Mathieu had already done his book shopping for school. He had done all of his shopping for school in general. He did it practically at the beginning of the summer. Since the young Ravenclaw still lived in France and the travel to Diagon Alley was a long one, he wanted to get it all done ahead of time.

Still, he was able to make it out to the Alley before school started. He enjoyed visiting Flourish and Blotts because aside from the book shop in Hogsmeade, nobody had the wide selection of magical books that the shop did. Stepping inside, he smiled and nodded at some students he passed by before going to the Arithmancy section. Looking about, he smiled again when he found the very large Advanced History of Arithmancy book. He grabbed it, and made his way over to an empty chair. He wished he had enough to buy the book, but fortunately the bookshop allowed customers to sit and read for a while without having to pay for the literature.

What was have put some to sleep, Mathieu ate up. We quickly went through the book, his eyes wide with great interest as he read about the great Masters of Arithmancy of the past.

Melfina though not a book worm did love reading and learning things. What was more she loved books on animals. So when she found an incredible large animal encyclopedia she had to buy it. it was supposed to list out every animal non-magical and magical and how to identify them their likes and dislikes and everything else. Mel was in heaven, she missed beaubaxtons a bit and she still had that french/russian accent of hers which made her words a bit slurred when she spoke quickly. She found an empty chair next to a dorky looking boy who was reading a book on Arithmancy. a subject she herself took in school.

Mel while able to handle herself wasn't the strongest person and the heavy book fell out of her hands and landed on the boys foot. She winced as the book came down and she knew it had t hurt, "Je suis désolé, s'il vous plaît pardonnez-moi" she rushed out her shock causing her to lapse to French.

Mathieu was deep into his book and didn't even notice the lovely young lady walking about. One would think he liked books a bit too much to not notice someone as lovely as Melfina. And he paid for it when he didn't notice the book fall until it hit his feet. What was worse, he then dropped his own large book on his feet. He opened his mouth but managed to muffle a scream that would have scared everyone in the book shop. He then looked up and finally noticed Melfina. He also raised an eyebrow when she apologized to him in French. She spoke it fluently, which told Mathieu that she was either English and REALLY good at speaking French or, like him, she was a native of France.

"C'est tout à fait correct," he said to her. Despite the pain in the foot he was now massaging, he understood it was an accident and would show no ill will toward the girl. "Accidents se produisent, oui?" To further show no hard feelings, he rose, limped a bit for a moment, and extended his hand. "Je m'appelle Mathieu. Heureux de vous rencontrer, Mademoiselle."

*It's quite alright.
*Accidents happen, yes?
*My name is Mathieu. Pleases to meet you.

Oh great the one time she managed to ditch her brother and father she nearly injures someone. She hoped his foot wasn't broken, he had done nothing to warrant such a thing. Sighing shook his offered hand smiling apologetically when he limped slightly. "My nanes melfina but I go by Mel or Mellie" She was slowly getting past her fear of the male population but she found it easier to talk to ones who were in her age range.

"I didn't disturb you did I? And where did you french, its flawless." She said a bit excited, perhaps he was a native, she knew he wouldn't have went to beaubaxton or anything, because it was an all girl school and he didn't look like he would survive at Durmstrang, a but nerdy, not enough muscles. Not that she as checking him out, just stating a fact

Mat chuckled when Mel asked where he learned French. He never realized that he could not look French to someone, but oh well.

"I am from Southern France," he said. "But I do hope my find that I can speak English well enough." He chuckled at this. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mel, and again no harm done. The pain is already leaving my foot."

Mat then limp a bit more, but finally began walking alright again. He picked up his book and held it as he walked toward the counter.

"You attend Hogwarts, oui?" he asked. "Despite where I am from, I was fortunately able to attend. I am a Fifth Year now, and a Ravenclaw. What House are you from?"

Mat didn't know why he was so curious about the House another student was from, but he was. He didn't judge someone based on their House. He had known good people and bad people from all of the, including his own. From their brief exposure to one another, he found Mel nice enough. After all, she seemed genuinely concerned about the accident.
