What Are You Trying To Prove? [Dominik]

One of the things that Dominik regretted in his school career so far was something that most people might not guess about him. He was the type of kid that had done quite a few things that he should probably regret -- playing a distasteful joke on someone who didn't deserve it or picking a fight -- but the thing he always regretted was much more simple. Though he was far from the best at it, Dominik always found ever since his first flying lesson back home that it was something he enjoyed. It made him feel free, more than his other hobbies. Part of him always wanted to give playing quidditch for his school a shot. He was competitive and thought it would be a fun challenge. Back in Romania he had never bothered, and here in another country he found himself with the same issues.

Even if he wasn't playing for a team or anything of the sort, that didn't take away from the feeling that flying on a broomstick gave him. Dominik considered himself lucky that Hogwarts had plenty of brooms for students to use. It meant that when he needed to get away from things and his usual walking around school grounds didn't relieve him, borrowing a broom was the next best thing.

Right now he was experiencing just that. He was unsure if it was out of pure coincidence at his odd hours or if simply no one wanted to be around him, but usually when he came to the quidditch field, it was empty. This was what he was expecting as he walked onto the field, but much to his surprise he saw that he wasn't alone today. There, at the edge of the field, stood a girl. She appeared around his age and he vaguely swore that he had seen her around before. A closer examination told him that he probably had, since her robes were decorated with the same scarlet and gold as his own.

Now, Dominik was never one to care too much for strangers. The sight in front of him was something he couldn't resist. Though he didn't have a clear view of her from his current standing, she looked rather cute. On top of that, the expression on her face looked a tad confused. "Oh, hello!" he said rather simply, walking more away from the side of the field, but at the same time keeping a bit of distance from her. It was jut enough to make his presence known. "I wasn't expecting anyone else here." Really, what was he supposed to say to someone he didn't know? It would have been awkward to be the only two people here and have not spoken a word. Dominik hated being aware of the awkwardness of situations, even if he often accidentally created them himself.
