I’ve been as good as a depressed, self-involved strait can get. How ‘bout you? (George knows exactly how she feels. He doesn’t really click well with new people, actually, really anyone, to be exact…)No offense.
Right, the one with the dead girlfriend. It’s all coming back to me now. Hello again.
It’s fine…
Yup, that’s me. Hi.
Oh, right. Ho-w’ve you been? (kat’s bad with chit-chat with new people, so-)
Didn’t leave an impression, then.
Uh, alright…
Well, in case you didn’t remember, I’m George. George Fletcher.
No offense.

Yup, that’s me. Hi.
I’m sorry, but I’ve talked to you— what— once?
Three times, actually, if my mind serves me correctly.

Don’t.
Do.

Do.Don’t.
Don’t.
Do.
Do.You so do, Rowley.
Don’t.
Believe it or not, I do. My girlfriend of exactly three years died last month, over Christmas vacation.
Okay, maybe a little bit. Not enough. But you understands that it sucks. And things like ‘i’m sorry’ will not bring anyone back from the dead.
I know that. It doesn’t mean you can keep me from apologizing.

Yes, a pleasure to meet you. And sixth year isn’t too bad.
Please, don’t apologize. It’s weird when people do that.
Alright. I kind of know how you feel, if it means anything.
I doubt you do. But thank you for being reassuring. Or rather, trying to be.

It is.
Hello, George. I’m Katarina. I’m a seventh year, Ravenclaw.
Pleasure, Katarina. I’m a sixth year Huffelpuff.
I knew your girlfriend, Doreen. I’m sorry for your loss.
Yes, a pleasure to meet you. And sixth year isn’t too bad.
Please, don’t apologize. It’s weird when people do that.
Alright. I kind of know how you feel, if it means anything.
