Oh. And then he stopped.

The Slytherin came to a stop as well and took a moment to look around. This? THIS was where he had decided to take them to? Uh. It wasn't EXCITING, HELLO?! The disappointment was clear on his face but he took the card thrown at him anyways. They might as well get started and all. And if he was going to have to take the lead, then so be it. But he wanted to know MORE about this silent kid standing opposite him.

The first question? '1) Share something personal with your partner.'

..................... Uh.....................

Personal? PERSONAL?! Phillip paused. What was he meant to share? Family issues? The deal with his parents? Something he regretted? Because all of THAT counted as personal things and the first year just wasn't comfortable enough to share any of that, especially not with someone he hardly knew. MER-LIN this was hard.

"My dad died last year so I didn't get to tell him about coming to Hogwarts," he said in the tiniest of whispers, half hoping that the Ravenclaw didn't hear him but the question would still be erased from the card. Cue an uncomfortable shuffling.

....................... "But don't you D A R E tell anyone. I mean it."

Okay, it was Daxton's turn. Go.

Was 'ugh' an emotion? Because Daxton was feeling it.

This whole activity made him uncomfortable and unhappy and downright annoyed, and he had been hoping that Ancient Runes would be a class he would actually be able to learn something in. Sure, all the galdr chanting would be impossible, but he had read through the textbook and it was not all about that, so he had made the mistake of allowing himself to look forward to the lesson. Big mistake. The Headmaster was clearly some sort of cheery happy 'lets all hold hands and be friends' type of idiot, the type of idiot Daxton now had a word for: Hufflepuff.

He would have stood there seething all day, given the opportunity, but Phillip Romalotti was jumping right into it, and so Daxton did actually pay attention.

And he did hear him, of course. Daxton's ears were frustratingly sensitive at times, but usually it meant he could hear a person's quiet whispers with relative ease, especially when said person was stood right in front of him. Daxton considered the boy for a moment, raising his eyebrows an infinitesimal amount at the insinuation that he would feel the need to tell anyone, that he had anyone to tell. Whatever.

After a moment, he took his notebook out of his school bag and pushed the biro out of the spiral binding. Flipping to a new page, he wrote his own... personal something. But he was not happy about it. The only thing that made it any easier was that he could latch onto Phillip Romalotti's statement, so it did not feel like such a big revelation. It was not even that it made him sad or upset to write about; it was a just a fact, after all. It was just annoying that they had to share personal stuff (which was personal for a reason) at all.

'I have no dad.'

Daxton held up the notebook to be read. He offered no further explanation on the matter; the card asked for only one thing, and this was all it was getting. He glanced at the card as he lowered the notebook again. Okay. Next.
