A Second Chance PV: Henry Knight Finished

Henry was spending more and more time alone these days as his thoughts trailed to his hidden life and family but also his worries as well. The boy kept himself isolated and cut of from other even after others give him advice not to, it's like he hadn't listened to them or didn't care when he really did it was just he couldn't handle other talking to him about these things and so that led him to isolate himself and stay alone with his thoughts as time went by. Although he wasn't totally isolated because he had Logan and a few others but all and all he basically was isolating himself from others.

The boy was dressed in his worn out jeans, long sleeve grey shirt, and faded greenish jacket. He left his messager type bag in his dormitory as he made his way to the courtyard and looked for a spot. Henry eventually found a large oak in the corner of the courtyard and away from others, as Henry easily climbed the tree and pulled himself onto a branch that was a few feet off the ground and could easily see the black lake. Henry leaned his head and side onto the trunk, trucked his left foot and leg under his right and bended his right knee to rest his right foot on the branch. He wasn't completely balanced but didn't care as he sat there with his eyes closed and for a moment in complete peace.

It's funny how things can be view differently by different people but yet others still can understand or know what someone else is going through but are they or do they really. Do people really understand or is that just their sympathy for someone, nothing real just sympathy for someone that they view as weak or worse off than themselves. Actually maybe they view them as a freak, someone who's going through something that spends their time alone from others and so others view that person as a freak or someone that shouldn't be bothered. People and emotions are more complicated than what others think, who ever said that understanding someone was easy because it's not and people tend to make mistakes about all of this.

As these thoughts spiraled in his mind, a loud squeal type sound was heard from below and startled Henry that instead of turning around he fall back and off the tree, turning around in midair as he landed on his stomach and face on the hard ground. Luckily he was only a few feet above the ground so he wouldn't have had a any serious injuries maybe just a broken wrist or something, as Henry pushed himself up with a pain from his wrist that shot threw it he looked up and saw Callie standing there with a smile.

Henry dusted himself off as he placed his messager type bag on his shoulder, his left cheek was still a bit red and his bottom lip seemed to have been swollen as well as his left wrist was seriously hurting but lucky for him he could easily hide his emotions as he spoke with a blank face and small smile " uh Callie right?" he took a breath before continuing " how have you been?"

As Henry ran a hand through his hair to push it back, Callie seemed to run over to him screaming again as he took a step back from her and spoke again with a blank face and small smile " I'm fine, don't worry about it," Henry rubbed his cheek a bit and after a few minutes the redness on his cheek faded and went back to it's normal tanish self as his bottom lip was still a bit swollen and his left wrist didn't quite feel alright but he was able to keep his composure as he listened to Callie speak about falling and breaking bone which were two things that this boy knew perfectly, because it either happened to him or his twin sister except his twin's injuries were usually worse then this.

" I'm fine, don't worry and I experience a broken bone or two from following off a tree before to,"the girl then went on to say that she was Callie and that she can see without glasses, something that Henry was always thankful that he had perfect vision, before Callie performed the eyeglass repair charm on the glasses and fixed them the before turning to him and asking if he was alright again.

" I'm fine alright, don't worry," Henry spoke as he never did like people fussing or taking care of him, that kind of thing always bothered the boy who after his mum died rarely ever seen his father and so the only person he allowed to fuse or care for him was his older brother. Henry then looked at Callie and thought that maybe he seen her somewhere else, like at the advanced charms lessons that weren't actually advanced for Henry since many of the charms that their learning in those extra lessons his brother already taught him before he spoke " your in those advance charm lessons right? I'm in them to, didn't you chose to study the bandaging charm last class? I chose the summoning charm, which wasn't that bad since my brother already taught me it."

When Callie spoke again, this time saying that she wasn't convinced and using that word pancaked again. Henry never heard the expression before or used it himself like most things. That was mostly because before Hogwarts he really didn't talk to anyone else besides his family and a few close friends who didn't use that expression either so he spoke " I'm fine, really and uh what do you mean by pancaked? Pancake is the breakfast food unless is there another definition that isn't in the English or Latin dictionaries and books that I read at home," Henry knew he was a geek and a bit of a know it all so he quickly spoke "sorry if I'm weirding you out, others would call me a geek or a know it all which I guess I'm both at times."

Callie then spoke about learning the bandaging charm while trialing her wand, Henry kept his friendly smile but in his mind he thought that the girl could speak a lot which he couldn't dwell on long since she then turned to him asking if she should use it on his left wrist. Henry then spoke up " I fallen from trees before when I was longer and the same with my twin, so I know how to handle then don't worry," Henry then looked at his left wrist as a million thoughts floated into his mind. He really didn't want her to cast it and he already could or probably could cast it himself since his brother taught him the charm three or so years ago but it also could have dire consequences if it was messed up however he hated when others fussed over him or cared for him but the wrappings could help his wrist and he kept on hearing his brother's voice in the back of his head telling him to care for his injury.

While he loved his brother, he also hated the fact that most things that made him uncomfortable his brother was perfectly comfortable during them, after a long thought process Henry then spoke " so I'm guessing you don't know episkey or any healing spells yet? I studied and read about them but I don't think I want to try casting them yet especially on a broken bone or myself," Henry then held his left wrist out a bit " if your sure you got the spell then give it a go," Henry took a breath before adding " you know the pronunciation right? And would knowing the geek or Latin root help you cast it? Sorry, like I said I'm a bit of a geek," Henry gave the girl a guilty smile before speaking again " and just so you know I'm only agreeing to this because I feel like I could hear my brother nagging me to look after my self," Henry laughed a bit as he waited for her to cast the spell.

When Callie first question how he doesn't know what the word pancaked meant, Henry kept his composure as to not say anything to her which was a good thing since she explained the definition in which Henry nodded " alright, I think I understand. I'm assuming you use that expression a lot then?" He then heard Callie mention that she was a ravenclaw and in a house full of know it all's so Henry replied " the sorting hat was about to put me in ravenclaw actually but in the end changed its mind," He then heard Callie mentioned his hurt left wrist which he now noticed that he was holding a bit up now as he spoke " again I'm fine, I'm only allowing you to cast the spell because I rather not write to my brother telling him I can't write for a while because my wrist is broken," however when Callie mentioned that she didn't know episkey, Henry then spoke " I can't cast it either but I know all about the spell and my brother can cast it almost perfectly."

When Callie spoke again, he felt sort of bad since he did sort of insult her so he spoke " I'm sorry about asking you if you knew the pronunciation and what not," Callie then seemed to cast the spell and Henry some pressure on his left wrist a as the bandage wrapped around his left wrist and Henry then placed his arm down at his side and heard Callie mentioned the nurse in which he spoke while laughing a bit " there is no bloody way that I'm going to the hospital wing."
