She set her cup down and leaned towards him. "Hey." She said simply. "Loosen up, you're at Hogwarts now." She winked at him. This could either be the best or worst experience of his life. Ellie didn't know who he was but he deserved to have some fun in life.

Winston heard a voice that felt like it was directed in his direction, and looked toward the girl who was speaking. Loosen up? At Hogwarts? Was she crazy? He had to be on even better behaviour now that he'd gotten here than the train. There were more people who could see him now. Winston gave the girl a quizzical smile while he tried to think of what he was to say in reply to such a suggestion.

...

He had nothing. Nothing worthwhile to say. He nodded to show he had heard her, though by this point she had probably forgotten all about him. Ah well. Such were the perils of thinking before speaking.

A few other Claws smiled politely at her, all of them still unsure of what to do, just as she was. All she could do was smile back at them, already trying to guess who would soon be her friend.

Her gaze shifted to the side of the table. And that was when she noticed another boy, sitting as straight as her. Swallowing hard, she moved a bit closer to him. He was a first year too, and it seemed just the right time to make new friends.

"Hey there," she called out, catching his attention. "Nervous, too?" she grinned awkwardly.

Noticing a girl who moved to sit a little to close for his comfort (she was within a meter of him, for Merlin's sakes!), Winston redirected his nervous smile at the girl. "Yes, I'm quite nervous," he agreed slowly. "I've never seen so many wizards and witches in one place before. Have you?"

While he waited to hear her reply, Winston gazed up into the skies. Wait. The skies? Weren't they inside? There should be a ceiling there! He frowned.
