"I'm Eben Wallace by the way." the lanky boy held his hand out to the blonde and gave a small smile. Yeah, smiling was a bit new to him but it was becoming progressively easier with each person he introduced himself to.
Iris looked at the boy when he said he'd probably end up with a T, frowning slightly.
"Well... if you know you think you're going to do badly... then why don't you find out if you can have extra lessons or something? That is, assuming you want to do well in Potions."
She tapped on the side of the library book lightly as she looked at him, whilst wondering why she'd never done that with any of her OWLs. It would have made plenty of sense to do... Ah well. Too late to go complaining now.
Oh!
Introductions.
"Eben." She repeated. And people said her name was odd?
"Nice to meet you. I'm Iris Beaumont." She added, with a smile of her own as she shook his hand.
