This was one of those days Daniel couldn't stand as he left his final class in a hurry just to be out of there. Two classes so far insisted on being some type of group activity. What better way to feel singled out than standing there while everyone ran to their friend they had know for years. Daniel was stuck with who ever was left and there was typically a reason that person was left for last. Time ticked by slowly for both classes has he had started to count them down while he was stuck trying to make the group he was in work by getting it to go faster. Still that was finally over and he could be alone, just get over this day and hopefully tomorrow will be quicker.
Still this day wasn't over yet as it seemed even this school had turned on him. People blocked the way, a number of stair cases insisted on moving while he was on them. "Moving stair cases, that was a great idea. Really, who doesn't want to be forced to go a different way." He said out loud, he had passed the point of muttering, he didn't care who heard him right now he just wanted back to the common room and to be free of this bag for the day. Still the second stair case to move him put him on the sixth floor instead of the seventh like planned. "Thanks, I really wanted to see the Headmistress ." Daniel said with deep out loud sarcasm as by this point there had been even more students on the stair case with him.
Daniel was done with stair cases as of right now as the group went around him and proceeded up the next stair case. He wouldn't give it the satisfaction of finding a way to take him down a floor instead of to the seventh floor. Besides he never had a reason to walk this floor might as well avoid people and do that at the same time. Hopefully finding the peace and quiet he wanted as he walked the sixth floor alone as far as he could tell for right now. Daniel couldn't help but open some of the unlabeled doors which all seemed to be empty so far as he kept walking and looking in random rooms to pass the time.

Andy was in a bad, bad mood today. She had only gone to her classes because she was required to and she only did the minimal work required. She didn't speak to anyone, even when she technically was supposed to. She moved through the day quickly, incredibly relieved when the last bell rang. She burst out of the classroom, shoudlering through people as she went. She knew the sixth floor was usually empty this time of day, so she decided to take a detour that way to avoid the crowds.
Ever since she had been back from the hospital she avoided crowds. The loud noises and excess of people just wasn't good for someone who was trying not to go mad every day. The sixth floor was a breath of fresh air... she ducked into an abandoned classroom, pulled her violin out of it's case, and was almost tempted to play but... she sighed, setting it back in the case. She still wasn't ready to play... at least not on her own. She heard a noise in the hallway and perked up, part of her thinking that maybe Phil had come looking for her.
Then the guy poked his head in and Andy glared, "what, you lose something, kid?" she snapped harshly.

Daniel really couldn't understand why this floor had so many rooms, in fact why did this school have so many empty rooms. It was just weird to have so much wasted space, sure maybe it was built thinking they would need so much room but this place was built a long time ago and most of these rooms look like they hadn't been used since. Just empty dusty rooms that didn't serve a purpose but to collect broken desks and dust. Every few rooms he found signs that it had been used for something in the past year or so but nothing to say it was being used regularly.
Daniel was honestly surprised as he opened the next room to find someone in it. It was almost a shock to him since he had opened so many with nothing inside to have someone turn to him would just seem out of place now. The girl didn't look happy at all as she snapped at him asking if he lost something. "Well obviously I did lose something, I opened the wrong door and instead of getting a prize I got a harpy snapping at me." Daniel wasn't in the mood for this and he wasn't about to be kind about it either. If she was going to start by being rude he would gladly return the gesture.

Andy let out a cold scoff, turning to shut her violin case and swing it back over her shoulder. "Oh, what kind of prize were you expecting? A new nose? Because I can give you that," she threatened. She wasn't using any of her skills that she learned about calming down. She was aggressive by nature, and sometimes nature was much more powerful than the mind. This was one of those times. Andy still had her weak moments, just like anyone else.
She grabbed her school bag as well and harshly slung it over her other shoulder. This toss pot was still in the doorway, though. A part of her was ready to just let it be and push past him but... the other part was ready to keep at it.

Daniel laughed as this was actually funny to him, all he did was open the door and he's met with a woman chewing his head off, it's exactly what he needed on this day. It's also what he would have expected this school to throw at him, it wasn't going to let this day end easily. "No I was hoping I'd win some peace and quiet around this school for a change." Daniel said fully annoyed with how this was going down as he watched the girl grab her things and get up. Normally he would have felt bad about forcing someone who just wanted to be alone from their spot since he knew that feeling but she had started all this.
"No instead I stumble into apparent the queen of dusty class rooms and her royal attitude." Daniel should have just left with that but didn't, someone smarter might have just continued on with their day but no. Daniel had, had enough with how this day had been going and was going to make that clear by not taking it anymore from this day or this school and the people it put in front of him. "Next time a sign that says 'danger you'll get you head snapped off' might be appropriate on the door."

Oho! Well, he was rather lively. Andy clenched her fists as he started to speak. SHE was the one who came here for peace and quiet and HE interrupted! He went on to call her a lovely new nickname which made her roll her eyes. "You know, I think I will put up a sign. Since I was looking for peace and quiet and YOU decided to barge your little head in like some sort of curious kitty cat," okay, okay, admittedly not her best work.
She took a step toward the door, toward him. "Who are you, anyway?" she asked firmly. She'd seen the kid around the Gryffindor tower but... she actually had no idea who he was or where he had even come from. Just some random kid who suddenly was there. He did have that accent, though... that was a pretty good clue.

"What a brilliant idea save everyone the trouble next time or hey maybe just a leave me alone please when someone makes the mistake of opening a normally empty class room door." Daniel replied as she now blamed him for ruining her peace and quiet. He was willing to admit that it was at fault there but a smile go away would have sufficed to get him to go away. She didn't need to snap at him about what he had lost like some child. Daniel didn't ask for all this in his life and that was a constant thought he'd had since he started here.
Daniel couldn't help but laugh to himself for a second as she asked who he was. Like it suddenly mattered after the exchange just now. "Someone with terrible luck that's who." Daniel replied with a pause as he figured he might as well introduce himself if she was asking, it wouldn't chance how this all started. "I'm Daniel and you?" He had seen her in the common room but never in any classes so she had to be in a year higher than him since she didn't look younger than him at least.

Well... the guy had a point. She really didn't need to snap at him. But her pride was too strong now for her to apologize for that... instead she just scoffed and folded her arms, rolling her eyes again. She wasn't going to apologize. Nope. Not today.
Not to this guy who reminded her so much of Jude that it made her sick.
He answered who he was, sort of, with sarcasm at first and then a name. "Andromeda," what the heck? Why didn't she say 'Andy'? She rarely introduced herself by her full name anymore. "You're new, aren't you?" her voice still wasn't incredibly nice, but she decided she may as well figure out who this person was.

Daniel sighed to himself slightly as the girl introduced herself followed by asking him if he was new. Why did he want to keep the fighting going for a bit more, maybe he just wanted an outlet for all the aggravation this school had given him but this day wouldn't even give him that. Still if she wasn't outright snapping at him anymore he wasn't going to keep going right back at her. "Well Andromeda, it's a real.." he paused as pleasure both didn't work and he wasn't about to say it. "A real something to meet you." Could it have been taken as rude, possibly but he still wasn't in the mood to care about that. It was the best he could call this meeting without using worse words for it.
"Yeah I started this year and boy has it been great." Daniel replied finally answering Andromeda's question with complete and obvious sarcasm at the end. As if calling anything about his time here being great would have been laughable. "So," Daniel paused for a mere second as he thought if he even wanted to keep talking or be in this room but soon continued. "Bad day I take it?"

He said it was a real.. something to meet her, and she rolled her eyes. He said that he started this year, sarcastically adding that the year had been great. Then he suggested that she had a bad day, and he was obviously right. She rolled her eyes yet again and shouldered her bag again. "Quite. Now, Daniel with terrible luck," she said, starting to move toward the door. "It was a real something to meet you as well. But if you'd kindly get out of my way," she didn't need to talk to this kid anymore. She shoved past him without waiting for him to move and swiftly cut down the hall, ready to lie down and take a nap to get this annoying afternoon off her mind.
--- another day ---
It had been a few days since Andy's little run in with Daniel. The kid reminded her so much of her ex, Jude, that it made her shudder. She did not need another Jude in her life. In fact, she had just bumped into Jude on her way back from dinner tonight, and he gave her one of his signature dark looks. She had been in a sort of good mood... now that was long gone. She headed up to the astronomy tower, just hoping for some alone time.
But of course, someone was already up there.
And it was Daniel.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me."

Daniel wasn't surprised as the conversation came to an end, by this point he was almost glad it did. What he didn't enjoy was the nice little shove Andromeda gave him to get passed. Daniel was fully ready to move out of the way and get her out of his hair but she didn't give him that second. "Yeah, thanks." Daniel said as she was now gone and he was alone in this class room. All that fighting and still this was just another dusty room was what he thought as he shrugged and left the room himself, it looked like she might have been headed toward the common room so Daniel kept going the other way. One of these doors had to be worth more than getting shoved today.
--- Another day ---
Today wasn't awful, he was actually in a decent mood for most of it. Classes were easy and people stayed out of his way. Daniel even willingly talked to a few people which was a surprise to him as he would have kept walking or avoided people in most cases. As Daniel was on his way to enter the common room he could hear the sounds of people being loud from behind the portrait. Even if he was in a decent mood today he wasn't in the mood to deal with anything that annoying. Trying to think of a quiet place to get some work done he thought of the astronomy tower. It had a nice view and around this time no should have been there.
Daniel arrived quick enough and was glad that he was right, the place was empty for the moment. Finding a spot to sit down by a window he relaxed and enjoyed the view. Before he could even start on anything he heard the sound of foot steps approaching. "Great.." Daniel muttered as he figured it would just be some random student but was sadly surprised to see Andromeda enter the tower which turned his mood slightly as he still remembered their first run in and how it ended, her remark didn't help either. "I couldn't agree more, this is just what I wanted to see. The queen of dusty rooms and bad attitudes trying to expand her realm."

Andy rolled her eyes. Of course. "Well, well, well. It looks like I'm the intruder now," she said sarcastically. "Perhaps I should just bow out? Unless you can't bear the thought of sharing your precious tower with the queen?" she said, not even waiting for him to and we before entering the tower even more, and dropping her bag on the ground by the wall. He didn't own this tower, right? Just like she didn't own that classroom... She was sure that they both were good people at heart and could get out of each others way... But something was stopping them. She wasn't sure about him, but she actually felt like her subconscious maybe liked the idea of having someone to hate. Or rather, to be mad at. To dislike. Ahe was trying so hard to be nice to all the people she used to hate. Well, aside from a small few, but she avoided them out of fear she would actually hurt them. But this guy... This guy was someone she didn't want to actual hurt but could dislike without a problem. Maybe that's why shw wasn't just backing off.

"Yeah sorry I didn't hang up a sign either. I didn't expect to need it this quickly." Daniel replied with a sarcastic tone in return as Andromeda spoke about her being the intruder. He toyed with the idea of her actually leaving the tower if he wanted her to but shot down that idea. He didn't actively hate the girl enough to force her to leave. Yet it just seemed like they might never get along and he was fine with that. He could use someone not actually wanting to be his friend, especially when he wasn't in the mood for it. "As long as I don't have to get shoved unnecessarily I think I can share the tower for a bit. You can have that half." He pointed to where Andromeda had put her things already, he wasn't being serious or would have told her to move else where but if she had already claimed that spot he would just call it hers now. "I'm generous aren't I?" He both wasn't expecting an answer nor wanted one really.
Daniel tried to get back to his plans of getting some work done yet now he couldn't focus much as there was someone else here which had caused him problems before. "So what the hell is your problem today?" Daniel said not so much as looking away from the book he was trying to study from.

Andy rolled her eyes at his first comment, about not knowing he would need a sign this quickly. He reminded her more and more of Jude every second, even the way his hair fell into his face. It made her more irritated then was logical. He said that as long as she didn't shove him he could share, and pointed to her half. "Oh definitely. Thank the gods you're so generous," she said, her voice a low drawl, as he planted herself where she was.
Andy got settled, sitting down for a moment to pull some homework out, hoping it would distract her. It wasn't working. Then, he had the nerve to ask her 'what the hell her problem was today' and she shook her head, keeping her eyes on her paper. "You remind me of someone," she said flatly, and honestly, "someone who is a prick."

Daniel had probably scanned over the same page twice by now and no information had been gained. He was trying to focus but the with Andromeda in the room that went out the window. He was more focused on the annoyed feeling he got from the girl which was obviously mutual. As she explained what was wrong with her it made a little sense why they didn't get along but Daniel wasn't about to apologize. It wasn't his fault he reminded her of whoever this person was. "You really know how to flatter a guy." Daniel said with a quick dry laugh as the papers in front of him still told him nothing.
Daniel could have just left it at that, he should have left it at that but he wasn't in the mood for just dropping things. "You ever think of telling this person your problems with them? Not taking it out on people who just happens to remind you of them?" Still Daniel didn't look over to where she was, he didn't need to. He could still see she was there out of the corner of his eye. "Or you just have enough attitude to go around?"
