Maverick was walking through the streets of London on a sunny morning, his iPod headphones blaring in his ears. He was very fond of this song, even if it was by a Muggle group. Being brought up in a Muggle home had some advantages. To Maverick, one of them was the music. He could name tons of bands he was into. Right now, one of his recent acquisitions was coming through the headphones. It was the new Cobra Starship single named "Guilty Pleasure." Maverick decided that it was time to take a breather. He looked around as he walked and saw a nice park bench on the sidewalk. Perfect, he thought. He strolled over to it and took a seat. Taking a look around, he didn't see anyone else nearby, so he propped his back up against the armrest and put his feet on the bench, keeping his knees inclined so that his legs were bent in an angle. Maverick strummed his fingers to the beat of the music, wondering where today would take him.

Janel calmly walked through the streets with a soft smile adorning her features. Her parents hadn't come with her today and that was great for her seeing as how her parents had never left her side when going somewhere new. A melody she heard somewhere had popped up in her head and Janel couldn't help but begin humming the tune.
Humming quietly, she noticed an occupied bench with someone taking up the space. I should just keep walking instead of talking to him. Janel was one of those girls that usually thought before they took action. She always loved meeting new people though and wasn't quite sure if she should leave him alone or just keep walking.
Yes? No? Maybe so? Her feet had already stopped moving as she kept talking to herself inside her head. She didn't want to interrupt him listening to music but she wanted to meet someone she had never met before; which was a lot of people. She had soon forgotten the world around her as she asked herself on whether or not she would talk to him.

Maverick was lost deep in thought for a while until he noticed a girl that had stopped in her tracks. She seemed to be looking at him for some reason. Actually, now that he thought about it, she seemed to be in her own little world at the moment. He took the headphones out of his ears and glanced at her. He kept his gaze fixed on her as she stood there. I've never seen her before. I wonder if she's lost maybe? Maverick felt like he should say something, but he didn't know what. She just kept standing there, looking slightly out of place. Maverick cleared his throat a little bit. "Um...hello there." He figured that was a good enough start. Maybe she would snap out of her daze now.

"Um...hello there."
Coming out of her little daze, Janel looked over at the boy who had just spoken. Well that now solves my problem. She smiled at him and her blue eyes sparkled for a moment. "Hey." She said cheerfully. "I'm Janel." She left out her last name because of how strange it sounded. Truelove, psh who has a last name like that? Apparently she and her family did.

Maverick smiled slightly at Janel. "I like that name," he said. "I'm Maverick. Good to meet you." He wrapped his headphones around his iPod a bit before saying, "So, what's up? Are you lost or something? I don't think I've seen you around here before..." He vaguely wondered if this girl was a witch. It would be great to find a new friend in the magical community. He had been feeling cut off from it since the break. Realizing his feet were still on the bench, he swung them around to the front. "You can sit down if you like."

Janel was still smiling at Maverick before replying, "Thanks. I like your name too." She shifted her gaze to look briefly at the iPod. When was the last time she had listened to music? Oh right, the song that had randomly popped up in her head. "I'm not really lost. Just wandering around the place. I haven't been here for long so that's probably why you haven't seen me around." You don't really see a new person walking on the streets of the place without thinking if the person had been here before.
Seeing his feet down to the front, she nodded her head before quietly saying a "thanks". Sitting down on the bench, Janel put her hands together unconciously and looked at the things in front of her. Bringing her attention back to Maverick, she asked "So are you a student from Hogwarts?"

Bella walked along, suddenly she stopped. Could that be? She could have sworn she heard one of her favorite muggle songs coming from a guy's ipod. She stodo as far away as possible, still hearing the music and nodding her head a little singing along quietly. After a minute or so, the music stopped and she sighed as she noticed a girl had walked up to him. She decided to walk over and join the conversation. After all, she had't met anyone new in a while. "Umm... hi. I'm Bella." she said, walking over. "I really hope I'm not interrupting anything, but I.. uh... I really liked the song you were playing on your ipod. Cobra Starship. I'm a muggle-born." she explained, sttutering through. Yes, the Bella we all knew and loved was back.

Maverick nodded at Janel as she explained her rather odd behavior. "I understand, I actually do the same thing sometimes." He chuckled warmly at the thought of himself getting lost all the time. She then proceeded to sit next to him. Maverick leaned against the armrest, making an angle with the bench and the armrest. When she mentioned Hogwarts, he perked up. "Yeah, I do! I'm going into my third year soon, Hufflepuff!" He smiled. "What about you? Are you coming there soon?"
Suddenly, another girl came up to them. "Oh, hi, my name is Maverick Rowell." He smiled at her. "Thanks! Cobra Starship is cool, and I'm a Muggle-born as well! I think I've seen you around at Hogwarts a few times."

"Yeah, same here. I mean, the seeing around part- not my name, obviously." she said with a nervous chuckle before tucking her hair behind her ear and began to fiddle with the clasp on her messenger bag. "I- I love music. A little too much my parents say." she stuttered, still looking down as a blush crept across her cheeks.

"Hey Bella, I'm Janel." She said with a soft smile. Janel was happy that she came into the conversation, for she was never that good in having one. I don't really think that's my kind of music. She thought to herself with her smile still adorning her features.
"Ah same here. They always get mad whenever I listen to the music instead of listening to them." It was slightly true, except for the part that her parents would have gotten mad. They didn't really care much for her, but she did for them. It was everybody else that would get mad whenever she was listening to music rather than paying attention to them.

"Hello, Janel." she said, taking note of the girl. She was still blushing, which didn't particularly please her, but she couldn't do anything about it. Oh, the countless times she'd tried.
She nodded a little after hearing what she said. "Oh, yeah. M-My parents always hate when I listen to my ipod because my h-headphones b-block out noise." she stuttered through another sentance. Gosh, she wished she wasn't so shy. Her parents always thought it was cute... Another thing she disagreed with them on.
