(no subject)

WHO: Nepeta & Norman
TONE: Kawaii then Kowaii 8(
RATING: PG-13.
WHEN: October 7th
WHERE: School grounds, nowhere in particular
WHAT: Nepeta and Norman are just chilling, getting to know each other more when Nepeta has a vision. Seems like they have more in common than they thought.
STATUS: Ongoing

Norman was someone very easy for Nepeta to talk to. A lot of people would make the mistake of thinking that someone as friendly as Nepeta would have an easy time talking to anyone, but that would be a mistake. Words didn't come easy to the Hufflepuff, and sure she may be surprisingly good to go to for advice but when it came to just making casual conversation? Not so much. Everytime she spoke with someone she always deliberated, always thought of what might keep the others interest---usually asked a lot of questions. If you chose just the right subject, people seemed to like being asked questions since they could just go on and on about a favorite matter or show off their know how. While Nepeta genuinely liked to learn more about others and hear what they had to say, her own habit of turning it into a game of chess sometimes made it exhausting to talk to others.

She didn't get that with Norman. Well, no, she still did, but not quite as much as she did with other people. And hey sometimes she was able to let herself talk. She didn't know if he was just being polite or genuinely interested but he'd listen to her whenever she told one of her stories about her adventures in the forest in the back of her home, or the Forbidden Forest. Or the times she snuck into Knockturn Alley and all the queer folk she came across. It was nice and oddly refreshing.

That was likely the reason that she kept true to her word and would often seek him out at the Hufflepuff table. that was where they spent most of their time since they had no classes together, and usually either one was busy with homework or she with Quidditch practice to be able to meet in the common room.

Today, however, she had managed to convince him to come with her on a walk through the school grounds. With her she had a large bag of sweets she had gotten from Honeydukes that she was sharing with him.

"Here, try these. They are my favorites." She held out a small box with a chocoball in it.

"Thanks, Norman. I really appreciate it." This wasn't the first time this had happened in front of someonenelse. Unfortunately, those other times had been in front of Muggle children and so it hadn't gone so well. Having someone who kept calm, believed her, and more importantly had been in her exact shoes was an almost surreal feeling and that more than anything was what kept her calm now.

"I don't really know a lot about it all but my dad...he sometimes sees things too. In fact I am pretty sure I got it from him so if you ever need someone more experienced to talk to he...he would listen."

"Maybe."

He wasn't so sure about talking about this with anyone. Of course, every time he had to remind himself that he wasn't in Bury St. Edmunds anymore. There was a slim chance Professor Vantas was going to turn him away and call him an attention-seeker, given his own apparent status as a seer.

Habits were hard to break, though.

At least he had a word for it now.

Norman flipped his journal back open again, looking to see if anyone commented on it- He paused and the responses before scribbling hasty replies.

"It looks like your dad and your brother are both coming."
