for once (i might belong) || milo & finn

Milo left the dorm hall looking for someplace to get away from the two people he'd just met - the two people he'd be sharing a room with for the rest of the year.  And although it just confirmed what Milo had been predicting people would think of him being a muggleborn here, the meeting had left him a little shaken.  Maybe he just needed to walk away for a bit; maybe he'd be able to react a little better after some time to think about how to proceed.  

As he hit the main hall, he slowed down, shoving his hands in his pockets and forcing a deep breath.  It'd be alright, he'd faced prejudiced students before - he could do it again.  If anything, he could use his roommates outdated ideals to fuel his own drive to improve.  In any case, he just needed to get some fresh air to clear his head after the disastrous encounters with his roommates.  "I'll be okay," he murmured under his breath, as he passed through the main hall to a side corridor and kept on walking.

He turned down another corridor, took another deep breath, and rolled his shoulders to get rid of the tension that had been creeping up on him since he'd met Corvin and Joyce.  Once that was done, Milo returned to people-watching, trying to figure out who was who in the castle.  Apparently one student was jealous of another's trip to Australia over break, and was tempted to play a prank on him in order to get him to stop bragging.  Sounds just like back at Hogwarts, Milo thought, grinning.

He was so lost in thought and his attempts to place other students that when he rounded yet another corner, he didn't see the other student standing there.  Milo collided with the other boy, yelping in surprise as his feet got tangled up in each other, causing him to trip and hit the ground with a quiet grunt.  Almost immediately, he was back up on his feet, ready to help the other up if necessary.  "I'm so sorry!" he said, the words coming out in a quick rush.  "Are you okay?"
