(Sven is one of my own characters, for disclaimer info)
Lunch is halfway over and Odin finds himself wandering the halls in search of Hermione. After a few minutes, he decides to end being that she's nowhere to be found. He can't go into the Gryffindor common room so if she went in there, he can't do anything about it. It's while he's sitting down outside the Fat Lady's picture that Sven Silver comes across him. Sven is the new captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, being that Cedric Diggory died less than a year ago. He's just barely shorter than Odin, though much more slender. Blonde hair parts on his head, hanging just below his ears. Ice-blue eyes accent his somewhat baby-like face.
"Odin…hey, Odin…" Sven calls from a little down the hall, "I've got a question to ask you"
"Huh? Oh…hey Sven…" Odin looks up from the floor, "Ask away…"
Sven perks a brow, "Make that two questions. Anyway…Are you any good with a broom? Quidditch tryouts for our team are Saturday afternoon and we really could use some good players."
Odin nods a little bit, "I've got a few skills, yes…but my school was so small that we didn't have any Quidditch. I've got nothing better to do…what do you need?"
"Well, So far, I'm not even sure. After last year's incident with Cedric, not many people are so certain about joining the Quidditch team. I can tell you, by the looks of the rest of our house, we could use you as a beater. Can you handle a bat?
"Asking me if I can handle a bat is like asking if owls deliver mail."
"Then it's settled…you'll try for the team?"
"You'd better believe it."
"I'll see you Saturday evening then"
Odin nods as Sven walks away, most likely to recruit more house members for the new Quidditch season. After the team captain is gone, he lets out a sigh and thumps his head back against the wall, the Fat Lady making some comment about being noisy and rude. He doesn't seem to make much of an effort to pay attention even when she asks why he's even sitting there in the first place. The door opens and Odin lifts his head up in hopes that it's Hermione…but it's only another one of the Gryffindor girls. She stands there for a second and looks at the strange boy sitting on the ground, but just shakes her head and giggles as she walks down the hall.
Lunch is almost over by now, so Odin decides to give up waiting. He stands up and walks away, figuring she must have been hiding in a girl's bathroom somewhere. Making his way to Herbology, she's no where to be seen in the hall but he notices her already in class as he walks through the doorway. A small wave and a smile are sent in her direction. Harry and Ron, who are both nearby Hermione, start laughing but a quick glare from both her and Odin make them consider sitting down and being quiet. Hermione starts talking to them about something dealing with 'manners' and 'respect' and the such, but Odin can't hear over the bickering of the rest of the classroom.
The three friends seem a little more together ever since Hermione started talking to them again. After all, she didn't stomp out of the classroom this time and actually left with Harry and Ron. It was still obvious that they wanted to laugh as Odin waved to her when Class was over. He walked behind them on the way to the next class, being that they all shared it together. Unnoticed, though, not a word was said to the new student on the way down the halls and out into the grounds to the Care of Magical Creatures class. This seemed to be Odin's favorite, for all three days he has grinned on the way.
