Colette Gerard made her way up the stairs of Ravenwood Tower for the beautiful view. It was a lovely day out, and the crisp air felt nice after her long morning workout. When she got to the top, the Witch dressed in Muggle clothes smiled.
She was in quite a daring mood and she walked over to the edge and looked down. It was a far drop... and she calculated the consequences of falling... perhaps they were too much... but it was too tempting for the prima ballerina.
"Careful..." she murmured in her cute little French accent. Without another thought, Colette hopped up gracefully onto the ledge and sat down. it was creepy being up so high, but much too fun to pass up.

Jack was impressed by the view he got just from the windows of the tower and wondered why he had never been there before. Admittedly he had little reason even now, but he figured it would be good to explore a little.
The boy in military camo saw a first year (or so he thought) sitting on a dangerously small ledge. Jack's eyes widened to the point that they looked like they would explode, "No! Don't do it! Don't jump!"

Turning to look at whoever had come up the stairs, Colette rolled her eyes, not losing her balance once as she turned to face the newcomer. "I would not jump," she said with a mischievous grin. "Zough, it would definitely be going out with a bang, no?" The petite dancer hopped down and leaned against the ledge.
"Paranoid about suicides, cmorade?" She asked, her voice a bit cynical, for she was in another one of her odd moods. Ah well, this guy would have to just deal with it. Shivering once, Colette pulled her gray sweater tight around her; sometimes it stunk having dealt with everything she had been through, for it often caused her to be cold.

Jack couldn't help but have a small laugh at her joke. "Well I wouldn't say paranoid, but I guess I just figured you never know."
Trying to be nice and start a conversation with the little French girl he started, "Is it weird to have just come here from France?" He was really hoping he was right in guessing she was French completely failing to realize she had a baby face and wasn't a first year.

"'Ow did you know I just moved 'ere?" Colette asked, a little surprised that this guy seemed to know she was new, if not a First Year. Colette still hated that her parents had just sent her straight to Firefox from Beauxbatons, but she was enjoying her time at Firefox; it was the first nice thing her parents had done for her in almost sixteen years of life.
"What year are you? What's your name?" Colette asked, trying to figure out how this guy knew stuff about her when she was sure she had never seen him before. It was confusing, but perhaps rumors of the "new kids" always spread, so perhaps he had just heard about the tiny Fifth year through the grapevine.

"Even ze First Years sink I am a First Year!" Colette exclaimed, exasperated. Running a hand through her hair, she was trying to not get angry with the First Year... he was about her height, so there was no way he could have known... but still!
"I am a Fifth Year. My name is Collete." She didn't know what else to say since she felt shorter than ever compared to the First year. It was odd, being thought of as one so young, though he was probably only three or four years younger. Others normally pegged her as a Second or Third year, but young Jack couldn't have known... but it was still annoying for the Slytherin.

Jack glowed red with embarrassment, "Oh, umm. I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Well nice to meet you Colette and I'm sorry for the mistake."
The boy worked quickly to change subjects, "Heh, probably good that you didn't give me your last name because I'd probably always use it. You will have to forgive me, my father got me used to that kind of thing. My father's a military man and my mother is a witch. What about you? What are your parents like?"
The boy found the short fifth year interesting but a little bad tempered. He figured he would have to watch what he said around her, but that wasn't exactly a bad thing as saying what first comes to mind can tend to be a bad knack. He couldn't help but smile learning that she was a fifth year. She must have thought he was a mind reader or something to have known she was new to the school.

Doing her best to keep her short fuse unlit, Colette listened to Jack. "My parents are both Wizards, but zey are not very good to me," she stated shortly, hoping it didn't sound mean. If anything, it sounded a little bitter, but Colette didn't care. "Are you enjoying school, Jack?"
Colette felt she needed to make up for snapping at the First Year by talking with him, which she didn't think was so bad. He was just so young that it seemed he was still sort of working on conversation skills. Then again, when Colette snapped at him, it was no wonder he was nervous now.

Jack started to move his mouth but stopped before any sound came out. She seemed a little bitter about her parents and so asking about them would probably have lit her fuse again, something the ravenclaw figured he'd avoid.
"School has been very fun though in truth I've learned more about less-than-scholastic subjects than magic." Jack frowned a little. He seriously hoped she didn't take that as a euphemism.
