From Fan To Friend (Saffira)

[Deleted]

(Open the first part is okay and doesn't come off as god-moddy. It's kind of a prologue.)

Trini knew to expect the unexpected at Hogwarts. Every day brought new surprises at the school. However, the last thing the young Quidditch fan expected that day was to walk down near the Great Hall and see Saffira Mynk, who had just entered the castle alongside her sister Professor Mynk. If there was any Quidditch Player Trini loved the most, it was Saffira Mynk. She looked the girl's style and attitude, and of course how well she played. Saffira was a definite role model for her, and Trini hoped she could be even half as awesome as Saffira was some day.

When paused when she saw Saffira and found herself unable to say anything. She wasn't acting nutters or anything. She just couldn't think up something to say, despite the fact that she had planned a million things to say should she ever meet the woman. All she could do was give a small wave... and that's all she could do with the crowd of older students saw Saffira and ran in front of her to get the player's autograph on whatever they had on them. There was no way Trini was fighting through this crowd. With a sigh, she turned and stepped outside, supposing it was at least nice to see Saffira in person.

Later, she listened as the crowd had died down. She was tempted to go back inside, but she figured Saffira would want to look around the castle with her older sister and not be bothered. So Trini just sat quietly, staring at the snow on the ground and wondering how cool it would have been to have talked to her role model.

((You're good ))

Saff walked in and found herself bombarded by student fans. She might joke about being amazing on the Quidditch field and having a lot of fans, but she was actually pleasantly surprised by the response from the students of Hogwarts. She found herself signing autographs, shaking hands, and answering questions left and right until she had to excuse herself to take a break.

She ducked outside and made her way around the grounds, having left Mera a while before so Mera could return to her duties as a professor. As she walked through the snow she spied a girl sitting alone just staring at the snow. She walked up to her. "Hi." she said with a smile. "Mind if I join you?" she asked thinking the girl might like some company.

Trini was already off in her thoughts and it took a moment for the woman's voice to hit her. She looked up and her eyes went wide. There was Saffira Mynk and her... alone... and she wanted to sit by her! HOLY HIPPOGRIFFS!!!!!!! Trini played it cool though. Acting like a crazed fan might scare Saffira away.

"Um... sure... I mean yes... definitely sit down," she said. Her body was trembling with excitement as she awaited her Quidditch hero to sit by her. "My name's Trini Mynt. I've seen you play, Ms. Mynk. You're really good."

Trini wanted to yell out that she was Saff's biggest fan, but again... she had to keep things toned down.

"So... visiting your sister, huh?" she asked. "Professor Mynk is nice. I've never had her class before, but she helped me find my Astronomy Class one time and we chatted on the way. She's has a cool accent."

Saffira thought Trini was nervous about a strange woman suddenly wanting to sit by her, did not expect her to be a big fan. She smiled. "Nice to meet you Trini! I guess I don't have to introduce myself then, but all the same. I am Saffira Mynk." she said with a chuckle.

"Wait, you said your name is Trini Mynt?" she asked her turning to her. "Have you sent me owls before?" she asked her. "I remember reading some letters from a fan of mine named Trini. That wouldn't be you would it?" she asked excitedly. Saffira liked meeting fans, especially fans that wrote to her a lot as she deep down was a fan of them. So excited and happy and looking up to her, she felt it was amazing.

She smiled when Trini asked about her visiting her sister Mera. "Yep! She's my best friend, and the person I have looked up to all of my life." she said with a smile sounding a bit like she was a fan of Mera's, though really she was in many ways. "I know! I feel kind of sad that I grew up in London. I didn't end up picking up the accent because of it." she said with a chuckle. "So, what are you doing outside alone here?" she asked her curiously.

Trini beamed when Saffira said she remembered her from her owls to her. Trini loved writing those, but she knew people like Saffira got a ton of it. So to know Saff remembered her... WOW!

"Yeah, that's me," she said. "Would you find me to be a weird-o if I said I was your biggest fan? I mean, I have posters of you and everything. I even have a t-shirt I wear when I go to your games." Trini stopped there. She did own a lot of Saffira Mynk merch, but she didn't want to go through everything.

She smiled when Saff said she spoke of her closeness with Prof. Mynk and how she didn't have the accent.

"You have a cool voice too though," she said. "And I was told by my mum that I have a sister... well a half-sister somewhere. I wish I could know her and have what you and your sister has."

SAFFIRA ENDORA MYNK
She then shrugged when Saff asked what she was doing outside. She might as well be honest.

"Well I wanted to meet you in there, but people were crowding you and I didn't want to do that," she said. "So I just waited until everything calmed down to see if I could say hi real quick."

[SAFFIRA ENDORA MYNK]

Saffira smiled when Trini said that it was her. She shook her head when Trini asked if she would think her to be a weird-o if Trini said she was her biggest fan and about the posters and t-shirts. "Not at all." she said beaming. "I am actually really honored to have such a great and devoted fan." she said with a smile. "Thank you for being my biggest fan." she added.

Saffira chuckled when Trini said she had a cool voice too, even though she did not have the accent her sister had. "Well, thank you. You have a lovely voice as well." she said with a smile.

Saffira turned her head sideways when Trini mentioned she had a half-sister somewhere. "You do? I hope you can meet her someday, and that you both become great friends." she said with a smile. "Make sure if you meet her that you write to me and let me know. Do you know your sister's name?" Saff asked her curiously.

Saff hugged Trini. "Well thank you for being considerate. But don't be afraid to come up to me to say hi next time, even if there's a crowd." she said with a smile. She had a thought and turned to Trini. "I have an idea. Over the summer there will be some matches, where do you live? I will send you tickets to a game. How would that be?" she said with a smile.
