 BrigBrig be curious, not judgmental
Maximus James filed into the Great Hall with the rest of the students. The train ride had been short - he had found a vacant compartment and fell asleep before the Express had even taken off. Luckily, he slept like a rock, for a compartment of younger, chatty students woke him to change into his robes.
As he meandered down the aisle, his instinct was to find a familiar face, and then he saw one sitting on the opposite side: Vashti. He kicked his leg over the bench and sat across from her, giving her a smile and a nod as a greeting. "Vashti, it's nice to see you again! Have a good summer? And - ah - lovely Head Girl badge you've got there!" Pretending to be intimidated, Max put his hands out flat in front of him and swayed vertically, praising her and her greatness.
