Smiling up at him, Louisa noticed his face mirroring his discomfort and she reached out a hand to pat his shoulder, "Hey, it's all right, really. It's just that the train is a bit small for all of the students, I guess. Once we're at the castle, you can be more comfortable. I'm not going to leave you."
Louisa dropped her hand and thought of that for a minute. Okay, she was making the same promises to everyone at the same time, apparently. How was she supposed to be with Adam and Joao at the same time? They both were new and needed company at the first day of school. Maybe she should introduce them and get it over with-- even if the situation might be a biiit awkward at first. Adam and herself agreed on leaving that matter behind their back and stay only friends. For the time being.
Looking back up at him, she spoke, "So, tell me, did you get your robes and everything packed?" Just a try to casual conversation so she didn't add more pressure on him.
Adam gave Louisa a little smile, appreciating her kind words and reassurances.
"Thanks Louisa," Adam said, looking down at JB who looked like he had died and gone to heaven. He had to admit having the dog companion was definitely making this whole thing go a lot smoother for him. Adam looked up at Louisa as she rested her hand on his shoulder, promising that she wouldn't leave him.
"Thanks, but don't feel like you have to," Adam said with a little shrug of the shoulders. The last thing he wanted to do was have Louisa feel like he was a small child that she needed to keep her eye on. After all he was quite used to starting off alone at new schools, even if they weren't this big.
"Unfortunately this is not the first time I've done this, and I've got JB," he said, the dog licking his hand as the words came out. He gave the dog a smile.
"I think I've got everything," Adam said with a little smile. He had only triple checked about a thousand times before he closed his suitcase for good. If he had forgotten something he clearly wasn't meant to have it at Hogwarts with him.
"I'm sure you've been running into a lot of your friends?" Adam asked, imagining it was hard to not run into at least one person you knew given how crowded the train was.
