Better start making some acquaintances now, or he'd be in for a boring school year.
The fifth year soon came across one with a single girl in it. For a moment, he debated whether or not to go in; she had a book atop her lap, and he wasn't looking to disturb anyone or bother people with unwanted company. But, it appeared that she wasn't engrossed in her novel quite yet, so he'd venture on in, though not before knocking on the door frame for a sign of permission. "Hi there," he smiled. "Do you mind if I join you for a bit?"
Selena was honestly quite bored. It was too early in the term to start reading again after a summer of nothingness. She looked up from the text that bored her so when she heard a knock on the frame of the compartment door. Selena smiled at the boy standing there.
"Hi, Selena said. New term new friends after all, right? Of course.
"No, din't mind at all, feel free to take a seat," she chirped brightly. And to make him feel welcome, she gestured at the seat grandly.
"By the way, my name is Selena," she said brightly.
