Jigsaw Maze [Elodie]

[Deleted]

It had been a few days ever since his arrival here at Hogwarts and maneuvering around the castle was a truly tedious task. It wasn't in the slightest bit simple for the former Durmstrang student. The new school was like a complex jigsaw maze which got more and more difficult with every corner he turned. The architect behind the crafting of the place had one special mind. Durmstrang was no where near the insanity of Hogwarts. Moving paintings, rotating stairs, and nearly headless ghosts - yup! this place was definitely a madhouse.

Frustration was looming over Elias as he walked along the hallways of the second floor. He had been trying to find his way outside for God knows how long, but all he seemed to be doing was going around in circles. He came to a stop in front of a door and let out a gentle sigh. He prayed that this was the way out, or at least the path to the Slytherin Common Room. Opening the door, Elias walked in. Upon entrance a cold breeze kissed Elias' exposed skin and he could hear the quiet sobs of a girl not too far away.

'Oh hell no...' He thought as he gritted his teeth. He new the scene all too well. This was probably his hundredth time stumbling into this particular room. It was home to the ghost they called Soaring Marry or something.

"W-Who's there?" He heard a voice call out and a pale transparent figure following after it, into his view. "Oh, it's you... What do you want? Here to get my name wrong, again?"

"Listen, Mary-" Elias began, but was cut off by the ghost girl.

"It's Myrtle! My name is Myrtle!" The ghost exclaimed before bursting into a fit of tears.

"Myrtle, right, I'm...sorry" Elias apologized, but Myrtle only sauntered away in her broken state. Deciding it was best to leave, Elias walked out of the rest room and closed the door behind him.

"I swear this place is going to drive me crazy..." He said quietly before looking around the corridor "Or maybe not..." He said as he winked at a group of girls passing by, all of whom responded by smiling and giggling. Maybe not everything was bad about Hogwarts after all...

it was with grudging obedience that elodie had moved to the source of the wailing. she had been just hanging nearby, when she heard the unmistakable cries of the one and only, moaning myrtle. in her formative years at hogwarts, she would have loved to try and block out those toxic sounds that the ghost made every so often, but as head girl, she had been given the responsibility of damage control surrounding the girl’s bathroom. namely, making sure myrtle didn’t flood anything. but to her enormous luck, the cries died down as quickly as they had come, meaning myrtle was not about to break anything in a fit of rage. elodie breathed a sigh of relief, running her hands through her hair and continuing walking down the corridor, not having anywhere in particular to go. however, the fates were apparently aligned for her to have a dreadful and embarrassing day, as because her mind was absent, so apparently were her motor skills, as she crashed into someone who she didn’t know. her head had knocked into his shoulder, and she made a noise which sounded a bit like arghwatchit as she rubbed her forehead, squinting at the boy who she had collided with. she immediately straightened up. it was an attractive boy. oh god, that made it all the more worse. she felt her cheeks grow hot as a blush invaded her flushed face, and she blinked, temporarily frozen. after a second, she remembered the polite thing to do in a situation like this. ”ah, sorry about that.” she smiled apologetically, still rubbing her forehead – though the pain had considerably lightened after seeing who had bumped into her. tagged: @mercy words: 279 outfit: (link) notes: (n/a)

Behind the group of girls, Elias spotted another walking alone. Something about her aroused his interests and he couldn't help but stare as she walked passed him. He knew he couldn't let an opportune moment like this pass, it was never in his nature to leave a woman walking alone. Besides he had nothing better to do, but bust his brain, trying to figure his way around Hogwarts. Maybe he needed someone to show him around, maybe she'd be the one to do it, he was about to find out...

Moving away from the restroom door, Elias approached the Gryffindor girl. Within a few strides he had caught up to her and was now walking beside her. "Care for some company?" He asked, his light accent coating every word as he spoke.

after recovering from her crash, elodie’s cheeks were already flushed, and the young gryffindor girl was definitely not armed for what happened next. someone had just caught up to her, someone taller than her, who had the smell of… a boy. caught off guard, she looked at him, flustered, as he asked if she wanted some company. he had a strange accent, she noticed. elodie was not used to being approached by guys at the school, especially ones she didn’t recognise. she knew the face of basically everyone in her year, but this boy was a stranger, even though he looked her age. however, being a typical teenage girl and having an affinity for male attention, she smiled at the boy. ”are you new around here?” she asked warmly, rather than answer his initial question. she cocked her head to the side. ”i don’t think we’ve met. i’m elodie-“ but, just as she was about to ask for his name, she noticed the colours of his tie. he was a slytherin! she looked at it distastefully, then back to his face, affronted. why was a slytherin talking to her? was this some kind of a joke? she took a hasty step away from him, trying to be subtle, creating a bit more distance between them. she sighed – her mother had always told her not to talk to strangers. tagged: elias words: 228 outfit: (link) notes: ///

Upon speaking, Elias waited for some form of reaction from the girl. His sudden turn up definitely seemed to take her by surprise and he could immediately tell that the mood around her had changed. Perhaps she was agitated, nervous, or maybe even scared, who knew?
If that were the case, he didn't blame her for being so on edge. It was the normal thing to do. After all, she was talking to a complete stranger.

The situation was a different story with Elias. Cool, calm and collected, he was undeniably in his comfort zone. From his position beside her there wasn't a single crack in his exterior. He was relaxed as ever and there was no doubt that he was in his element. He looked at the girl as she spoke and couldn't help but smile slightly at her question. Was he honestly that distinguishable from the Hogwarts regulars?

"Is it that obvious?" He replied with a warm smile of his own.
