Thank god, she changed the subject but yet he was disappointed not to have an answer oh well he'd ask later when he was more comfortable. "Well I've known all my life. It runs in my family you know, all ministry workers. Which, as I'm sure you've realized means I'm a pure blood." Crap, I hope that didn't come out too conceited. Now she's gonna think I'm stuck up. Oh well, i guess this serves as a fair test. Now his curiosity had gotten the best of him. "How long have you known, about being a witch that is...?"

Sophia looked at him then at the ceiling and sighed as she thought about it.
"I haven't known very long. I found out on my fourteenth birthday. My parents had a letter saying I was accepted here and that I was a witch, but I always wondered when they found out, ya know? I guess it was when they first started..." She spaced out a little then realized what she was about to say. "Oh yeah sorry. But yeah I haven't know that long. She looked at him and smiled slightly.
She went back to her book when she realized she was blushing a lot. She flipped a page.

"Ah, now your the one cutting sentences," he guessed now it was his turn to make her blush. "So, do you have many umm friends here or I don't know a special someone." He wasn't trying to ask her out or anything just find out her status for future reference.

Sophia looked straight ahead and started thinking.
"You and Sprightly are the only two people I've talked to. I talked to this once Ravenclaw boy for the homework I missed. He was pretty cute." She turned away from Tomas and blushed. Then again so are you. She thought and started blushing harder. "And as for a special someone... no. I haven't been here long enough to know, but even if I did have one it wouldn't matter. I've never been in a relationship to know what to do. So I'd rather not get involved in that stuff at least not yet."
She flipped a page in her book then started to smile. She didn't understand why she just did.

The comment about the boy as almost a punch in the gut but she recovered quick. She mentioned that there was no one special and something about how she said it seemed flirtatious. "Yeah, no one for me either though. But it's probably cause of how picky I am. Before I date someone I have to have something in common with them something of meaning that way we can relate. All you have to do is wait till you find someone to relate to but don't settle until then. Settling ends you up with crock pots." He'd just gave the girl he liked dating advice. "Geez, I truly am mental." He thought.

Sophia looked at Tomas as he spoke and almost took his words to heart but for some reason she couldn't pull herself to actually do that. She just shrugged it off.
"Yeah," she sighed slightly then stared at the celling, "I guess that would um be a good uh... idea. Yeah." The tone in her voice made it seem like she was trying to convince herself it was a good idea.
She looked over into Tomas's soft brown eyes that started to sparkle slightly from the light as they hit them. A feeling of fear rushed through her head. She looked around violently trying to understand.

"I just don't get it. I mean I saw the way my parents ended up so i thought i was just gonna avoid women." Tomas said aloud "but somehow, it feels like in helping you I have purpose."

Sophia wasn't paying attention to what he said she was too busy looking around as if searching for something. Her eyes got fixed to something outside the window. She finally realized what it might be but she wasn't sure.
Her breathing got a little shallow and she was opening her mouth as if to say something. The next thing she did was jump up from the chair and scream. Her book dropped and hit the floor. She just kind of stood there screaming from what she saw.

Tomas jumped to his feet and quickly threw the table between them. He moved to Sophia and quickly wrapped his arm around her. There he waited for a few seconds before asking "What did you see?"

Sophia started panting and hyperventilating. She was freaking out so badly.
"I...I.....I" She started gasping for air. She grabbed Tomas's shirt and clenched it tightly as she tried to tell him. "I... thought I saw... a uh... that thing.... a uh..." She was so scared and she didn't know what to do or say. She couldn't barely form words let alone say what she thought she saw. "Dementor!" She shrieked. She knew that they wouldn't be there but she was still scared half to death. There is nothing in the world she is more scared of than dementors.

Tomas thought to himself as he figured the dementors wouldn't be here he was under the impression they were all punished and now were back at azkaban. Still better safe then sorry, to make Sophia less scared he quickly pushed a comfortable looking sofa in front of the door and drew the curtains. He found two candles which he quickly lit and place on the now replaced table. He sat Sophia down and explained "We'll stay here for a little while just to be safe. When we're sure it's OK we'll leave." Then he, feeling bold hugged his new found friend and whispered "every things gonna be alright now. If they want you they're gonna have to go through me." And with that a tear rolled down his eye why did he care more about a stranger then he had his own mother

Sophia just sat there and stared at his chest since he was hugging her. She started shaking then she started hyperventilating again. Tears started to stream down her face. She started to whisper. She repeated over and over something.

Tomas raised her head and looking into her sobbing eyes he could tell she wanted to look away but he wouldn't let her. He tried to tell her with his eyes that it'd be alright. Then he realized that as he held her face in his hands and felt how smooth her skin was and how deep her eyes reached. An animal urge took over him but he glanced away and resisted the urge to kiss her. That is her choice not mine.

Sophia just stared as Tomas raised her head. She just looked into his eyes and started to get a fuzzy image of something. It was her father, raising his hand to strike her. She shrieked out in terror then ripped away from Tomas and threw her hands over her head as if trying to block the hit.

This startled Tomas just when he thought maybe she might think the same thing, she can't bare to look at him. Tomas kind of looked off at the walls and a tear rolled down his cheek as he started to build his own wall not in the house but in his mind to block the feelings he felt for her. Seeing as they flowed so strongly this could take a while.
