Waiting for Richard.

Storm was waiting for Richard. He had just won and was very happy about it.
He hoped Richard was'nt angry or anything, so he just stood there waiting.
Storm also wondered what his "relationship" with Richard now would turn. Their first experience with each other wasnt exacly a perfectly calm and nice situation.

Richard got out of the Duelling Room still thinking about his defeat. It had been a great duel, and as hard it was for him to admit it, Storm had fully deserved the victory. Walking through the Middle Courtyard, he saw his opponent standing next to one of the walls. He approached and said, somewhat reluctantly: "Great match, Storm. Congratulations. You really are a fine duellist." Smiling again, he added: "But I almost had you, especially in the second duel. I guess I'll just have to train harder until our next match."

"Thanks a lot, Richard. Im sure it was just luck, I mean the way you had me at the second part! Anyway, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.", said Storm, happy that Richard was not angry. "I have joined the quidditch team as a chaser. Do you play quidditch?".
Storm was interested in everything about quidditch right now, as Storm was'nt very experienced on the field.

"Really? Did you use to play before coming here? I've personally loved Quidditch since I was very young. And now I'm a chaser on the Slytherin Team, so I look forward to facing you on the field. " he replied, excited. "However, I'm afraid the matches won't start soon, since there still aren't enough players on the teams. Do you know if anyone else has joined the Gryffindor Team?" he asked.

"William Bill McGonagall and Demelza Ferndandez. I actually never played quidditch before getting here at Hogwarts. I look forward seeing you too, Richard", Storm said while smiling.

"Well, you almost have half of the team filled." Richard replied with a smile. "For Slytherin, it's just Kim and me for now. We should try to convince more people to join the teams." he added, a bit disappointed. "So, you've never played before? Don't worry, I'll make sure to give you a good lesson next time we play one against the other." he answered, teasing Storm.

"Heh..". Storm smiled nervously.
"But, Richard.. Uhm.. Slytherin or Gryffindor.. It does'nt matter does it? Really?".

"I see no reason to dislike you, even if you are a Gryffindor, Storm. Do you?" Richard replied. "But don't get me wrong. When we meet on the Quidditch field or in the Duelling Club, don't expect any sympathy from my part." he added with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah", Storm almost laughed. "Who's Kim? Is he any good?".

"Kim is a girl" he answered somewhat abruptly. "And as far as I know, she is a quite skilled Seeker. What about this William?" he added.

"Oh, sorry... Uhm, I dont really know any of the other Gryffindor, and I have not seen him play", said Storm.
"Actually you are the only one I have really talked to since I started".

"Is that so? Well, I think you should start getting to know the other Gryffindors, you may get a bad reputation in your House if they see you hanging out with me all the time." he replied, amused. "I'm sure you can find some of them in your Common Room. Besides, I have to go finish my Defence Against the Dark Arts homework, so I'll see you around." he added, before leaving the Middle Courtyard, making his way to the dungeons.

"I know. Bye, then", Storm added with a smile.
