Fall of 2019 It was Adrians second year of Hogwarts and he was already more comfortable then he had been all of first year. Not that first year was that bad... but he had finally allowed himself to make friends and that made all the difference. It was nice being able to tell them about his being a werewolf and them not thinking any less of him. He had been told that the stigmas surrounding his kind had depleted over the years - but that still didn't mean he was happy to flaunt it about. It was four days to the full moon, just enough time for Adrian to finish someone homework at the library before he had to take his wolfsbane potion and go into the Professors custody. He felt miserable, as he always did when it was almost time to transform. Well, physically miserable. Emotionally and mentally? He was always exhilarated when it was almost time to be a wolf again. He liked it, so that made up for the physical pains. He sat at a table with two books in front of him, but he was barely reading either of them. Man, why was transformation time always exhausting? tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 It was the early evening and Toby found himself wanting to read. The Ravenclaw common room was typically a great airy space with perfect lighting to do just that, and it helped that most Ravenclaws were courteous to others reading, or doing schoolwork at the tables. Unfortunately, the Ravenclaw common room had been taken over by a study group consisting of seventh years. And he had no idea what they were talking about. It was a bit distracting. So, he headed to the second best place, the Library. Upon entering, he tried to find an empty table, but there weren't any, so he looked for the most quiet table. There was a boy posted at one of the the long tables, deep in school work.
Toby may have been merely twelve years old, but he knew the look of a person studying quite well. This kid wasn't very convincing. Toby was normally keen on minding his own business and keeping his head low, but he could tell by the way the other boy was slouched in the chair over two books that he was barely scanning the words anyways. One of the books was upside down, which tickled Toby quite a bit. Now he really had sparked his interest. The Ravenclaw had passed by the other boy throughout the grounds quite a bit, so it couldn’t hurt to be friendly, or helpful for someone in need.
Toby wordlessly, but very gently, spun the book around so it would be in the correct position. ”Cramming for somethin’?” he asked sympathetically, laced with a bit of curiosity since he could notice how tired the boy looked. Toby had a book tucked under his arm and his head cocked to the side, observing the other boy innocently, before continuing without an answer. "Studies show that cramming isn't effective for students due to it skyrocketing your stress levels, thus diminishing your concentration levels...." Toby shared clinically, his voice droning on a bit with a nerdy awkward ramble. @adrian

Adrian looked up as the other kid at his table spun their book around. Adrian was trying to recall the kids name, but couldn't. Adrian was the type to make note of those around him, sure, but he didn't really see first years a lot so he didn't have any reason to remember their names. Plus, this kid wasn't even a Gryffindor, so when would Adrian really interact with him? He asked if Adrian was cramming for something and Adrian shrugged. The boy went on to talk about how cramming wasn't effective, typical Ravenclaw chatter, and Adrian smiled a little in amusement. "Not a bad point," he said. "But no, no. Not really cramming. Just catching up on some schoolwork to prepare for the days ahead," he answered honestly. tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 Toby offered the older boy a sympathetic nod when he mentioned that he was catching up for the days ahead. He could relate to that feeling. As much as he loved school, he was an overachiever, so school was always on his mind and he felt like he was always trying to do better. He was definitely sorted into the right house. Tobias Watkins was an outstanding student. "Hmm. That's good. Are ya going somewhere?" he asked innocently with a childish interest.
Standing with his hands arms awkwardly draped at his sides, he tittered back and forth on the balls of his feet. His eyes took a quick glimpse around the library and to his dismay, most of the tables were already occupied. The Ravenclaw turned toward the other boy, "My name is Toby. May I sit here?" he asked with an awkward politeness - like a total dork. Toby was honestly just looking for a quiet place in the library to read, but this Lion also seemed very interesting for some reason. @adrian

The other boy asked if he was going somewhere, and Adrian looked at him with confusion for a second before realizing what the Ravenclaw was referring to. Adrian had said that he was 'preparing for the days ahead', which could indeed imply that he had somewhere to be. Adrian didn't answer yet before the boy asked if he could sit down and Adrian gestured toward the empty chair, "by all means," he offered. Then, he took to answering the boys question, "I have to skip out on things close to the full moon," he explained, his tone just a tiny bit strained. He had decided a while ago that he wasn't going to hide who he was - but that didn't make it any easier when it came down to it. "I'm a werewolf or whatever," he added, trying to seem passive. tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 Toby wasn't expecting the answer he got next. The way he reacted definitely signified that. The young Ravenclaw listened with interest when the other boy shared where he was 'going'. His knee hit the table out of excitement, snapping his head and following with full body in Adrians direction. "No. Freaking. Way. Mate." he said slowly, brown eyes widening to large saucers and jaw gaping with a full blown nerdgasm. "That is wicked." Toby said solemnly, nodding his head up in genuine interest. He froze, suddenly flooded with questions that he wanted to ask the poor kid that probably wanted to be left alone. Toby finally closed his mouth, since he realized that a fly could practically fly inside with how he was sitting there. "What kind of symptoms do you have?" he asked without any conviction. Was that rude to ask? He was already prepared to bombard him with a million more after that. Toby never met a werewolf before so he was practically overwhelmed with excitement. @adrian

Adrian leaned back in shock as Tobias's knee hit the table. For a second he thought he was getting up to run away, but that wasn't it. The Ravenclaw turned toward him, and Adrian leaned back just a little more. "No. Freaking. Way. Mate." he said. Adrian raised an eyebrow and slowly nodded. Wow, the kids eyes could get really wide. Tobias said that his werewolf-ness was 'wicked' and then went silent for a moment. "I mean, it's all right," Adrian said softly. He really didn't mind being a wolf, but he didn't really care to flaunt it. But then he was asked about his symptoms and Adrian smiled a little, amused. "Well, a few days before I get really exhausted, and extra hungry," he explained. "It's hard to sleep, because it's easier to stay awake at night, but I have classes during the day," he shrugged. "That's how it starts."tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 Toby listened to the older boy with a very intent interest, as if every word out of his mouth was sacred. Nodding his head along as the Gryffindor shared his 'symptoms', he found himself swarmed with a million questions that he always wanted to ask a werewolf. Now that he had one in front of his face, he could barely contain himself from spurting out a million words a minute, or until his face turned blue. Eleven year old Toby should have suspected that he would have some werewolves and other magical beings as classmates while attending Hogwarts, but he didn't really think about that too much because it didn't matter. His mother always told him to stop staring when it came to that kind of stuff, but it honestly wasn't like ~that. He wasn't gawking. Toby was fascinated and always had the thirst for more knowledge. The look on his face showed that he was having a hard time containing his excitement. He was taking extra precautions to keep his voice low in the library. "I don't know if I've met a werewolf before..that's so cool. Can you run like really fast? Does Hogwarts give you a special diet?" Toby couldn't help himself from geeking out, he was honestly trying to keep himself from having a full blown nerdgasm in the library in front of strangers. Sharing with Kinsey later in the Ravenclaw common room would suffice, hopefully.
He gave him a sympathetic nod when he said that it was hard to sleep at night. That was definitely something he read about when it came to werewolves. They were considered nocturnal creatures, so that made sense. "Were you bitten?" He asked but immediately paused, brown eyes suddenly widening as he raised a hand to his mouth out of embarrassment, "Oh, blimey, I didn't even think of that being rude...uhh--is that like, a personal question?" Toby asked quickly, but innocently, suddenly concerned about offending the other boy with his own ignorance. He snorted, flipping open a book to feign concentration after this great discovery. "Should probably learn someones name first before asking them that, huh? Sorry." Toby quickly apologized, attempting to douse his excitement a bit with a joke on his own behalf.

Adrian wasn't sure what the look on Toby's face meant. He didn't think it was fear, that was a totally different expression. No, it was something different but he was having a hard time placing it. He wasn't really good at that stuff - not like his cousin Daniel was. He said he didn't know if he'd met a werewolf before, again saying that it was cool. He asked some more questions about it, and Adrian didn't mind answering. "Yeah, really fast. In wolf form, not so much in human form," he explained. "No they don't give us a special diet... I mean, I guess they might give the wolf me some meat occasionally. But it's only one night so I just am super ravenous the next day either way."He asked if Adrian was bitten, concerned hat it was rude to ask. "Some might mind, I don't," he said. "Yeah, my father's a werewolf and one of his enemy wolves bit me. Complicated," he shrugged. "Hurt like hell," he added. Adrian hadn't realized he didn't offer his own name. "Oh, yeah. I'm Adrian Greyback."tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 Well, he said that some might mind his list of personal questions, but he didn't, sharing a bit more with him. So, the young Ravenclaw took that as an open invitation of sorts. Admittedly, he wasn't done asking questions... Werewolves were his second favorite type of magical creature - or was it being? - unicorns being his first. When he answered Tobys question honestly, sharing that he was bitten by one of his fathers enemy wolves, Toby's eyes widened, simply intrigued by the information. "Woah. That sounds like a bloody good plot for one of those Muggle dramas on the tele. I bet your dad was pissed." he said, thinking out loud. Toby hadn't quite developed his verbal filter as an eleven year old yet.
The other boy introduced himself as Adrian Greyback and Toby offered him a friendly wave to acknowledge the fact. His mouth opened, and then shut again after he said his name. "Toby, er, already said that--" he introduced himself awkwardly with a dorky laugh before regaining his train of thought again. It seemed that as long as Adrian was at the other end of the table, he probably wouldn't be getting any work done. Hopefully he didn't mind. Toby quickly flicked open his one of his leather bound journals and quickly scrawled a note in uniform handwritten scrawl. His eyes scanned the notebook as if he were doing a clinical of some sorts. "Can you eat chocolate?" he asked in a dead seriousness that was quite comical. Well, dogs couldn't eat chocolate...it was a fair question, right?

Toby said that it sounded like a good plot for a muggle television show and Adrian chuckled, nodding at that. "My dad was probably fine with it... haven't spoken to him. He has a habit of changing his own kids anyway so he would have come for me. Maybe he was upset that he didn't get the 'honor'," Adrian suggested. Toby repeated his name, which Adrian waved off. The kid was nice, and of course Adrian thought of him as a 'kid' even though he was only a year younger. Then Toby asked a very weird question... "Um... yes? Why?" Adrian didn't get it. tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 After talking with Adrian during this brief encounter, Toby was starting to learn that his life was so...normal? Boring, even. Not that he wanted any more family drama, he had enough theatrics with three younger sisters. "That's fascinating." he stated with genuine interest, but already restraining himself because he was asking the older boy too many questions.
Then, Adrian answered the chocolate question. Toby's face flushed. He realized he had asked something off, and now had to word gently, or else he could potentially offend his new friend. Which was the last thing he honestly wanted to do for any of his peers. Especially Adrian, he seemed really cool. The young Ravenclaw was normally very mindful with his words, even for a kid his age; today he was just getting too excited to meet a werewolf. Toby chuckled more out of nervous habit, before clearing his throat, "I always kind of wondered." he answered, honestly thinking of what to say, and panicking slightly. "'Cuz, uh, well, dogs get very ill after ingesting chocolate." Toby stated blatantly, a sudden case of word vomit coming over him. Social interactions weren't his strong point. He froze after the words left his mouth, eyes widening slightly. "Oh, Merlin. I'm sorry. I didn't just call you a dog, mate." Toby said quickly, mentally face palming and beginning to dig an awkward hole to lay himself in.

Adrian didn't mind someone thinking that his story was fascinating, though he always thought it was a little sad from an outside perspective. He was fine with being a werewolf, though. Liked it, actually. So someone being interested in that was actually kind of fun. He shrugged, though, feigning a sense of casualness and nonchalance. He found that if he acted too upbeat it would discredit his coolness. Toby cleared his throat, chuckling awkwardly after Adrian questioned his question. Then he explained why, making sure to add that he didn't think Adrian was a dog. Adrian laughed out loud, leaning forward a little and shaking his head. He held up a hand, as if telling Toby to just hold on a moment while he got through the laugh. "I've never heard that before," he laughed even more, "never even thought about it. I mean, I haven't tried to eat chocolate while in wolf form, maybe I should try it and we can add something to the history books," his laugh died down, slowly. tobias charles watkins

Fall of 2019 Toby pondered for a moment, shaking his head up and down in agreement, "That could certainly be arranged, for research." he chirped excitedly, eyes going wide again with excitement. A very gullible, and childish, part of Toby wasn't sure if he was kidding or not. "It's a 50-50 chance you keel over." Toby was still chuckling along with him, extending the cacophony of laughs. The angry librarian rose from their desk and stepped over to their table with an angry look. "Knock it off. This is the library. Get some work done, or get out." she barked, causing Toby to sink into his chair like a coward with a guilty look.

Adrian laughed at Tony's excitement and barely reacted when they got the dirty look. They were used to Adrian not caring about the rules, even by his second year. Toby shrunk down and Adrian started to pack up his bag. "Tell you what, I'll get a werewolf friend of mine to help me try it and if I don't show up to school next month you know why," he winked, but he wasn't sure who he would ask. He didn't really have werewolf friends. He stood, swinging his bag over his shoulder, "see you around," he didn't bother talking in the hushed tones of the library and gave the librarian a little nod before bowing out. tobias charles watkins (the end xD)
