"You're right." Graham agreed. "Pretty doesn't cut it, your gorgeous. Any bloke who can't see that is a bloody idiot."

Oh that was why he was talking to her. "Well, thanks, I guess, but I'm not really interested in being a Slytherin conquest."

"No, I wouldn't image you would be interested in something like that." Graham didn't blame her for thinking that was what he was looking for from her. "I was just stating the obvious about your looks considering I know nothing about you to be complimentary about otherwise. I'm not exactly like most Slytherins." He pointed out, which was true. "I was only trying to get you off the defensive with me."

"Not that you aren't attractive, just... you're not really my... preference" Katie explained, then realized what he meant. "Oh. Is there a reason you want me to be off the defensive, then?"

Well of course Graham hadn't been worried about Katie not finding him attractive, he knew he was good looking. "Yes," No reason to lie to her about it. "Thought it would be nice to try and be friends or work up to being friends and I can't very well get very far with that if you're defensive now can I?"

"So what, you just find random Gryffindors to befriend in the halls?" Katie asked, smirking at him teasingly.

"Not random." Again not a lie. "Your special." He returned the teasing smile. "My name is Graham by the way, Graham Pritchard."

"Katie Bell," She returned, though she was sure he already knew. "Why am I special?"

"Because you, Miss Bell, looked like you could use a friend. It's a guilty pleasure of mine so really, when you think about it, you're doing me a favor." Graham flashed her one of his best smiles, which what girl could resist?

His smile made Katie falter. Somewhere in the depths of her mind she knew this was bad; but he was handsome, calling her beautiful, wanted to be her friend... Even if he was a Slytherin, so what? "Well then, I'm glad I could help."

Katie seemed to be letting her guard down slowly, but Graham knew better than to just jump into the topic he's approached her for. "So tell me all about Miss Katie Bell, wont you?" Still smiling Graham hoped that he'd be able to pick up on a tangent to lead to what needed to be said.

"Not much to know. I... ah... suck at potions. I make up for it by being a good chaser, though. I'm on the Gryffindor team," She explained, "I'm... uh... not sure what else to tell you, to be honest."

"I've seen you play." Graham mentioned. "You're really good; quick, agile, deadly aim... who really needs Potions anyway, you could always buy them pre-made."

"Thanks - I can't take all the credit, though, Oliver's really worked hard with all of us," Katie explained, somewhat modest. "And you're right; I'm sick of potions anyway!"

Oliver, she was bound to mention him at some point and Graham had to repress his grin now. "I guess Oliver would help but it is hard to work with nothing, you've got a lot of talent, Katie. Guy is seriously Quidditch obsessed though. It's a bit unnerving."
