Hogwarts didn't just throw up some streamers; they decorated.

And here was the difficult part.

Though he had met a few people on the train, he didn't really see any of them at the table clearly designated for those dressed in blue hues; where he himself was supposed to be. Looks like it was time to meet more people! Cornelius waltzed his way over towards the middle of the table, seeing a student around his age sitting alone, and decided it was worth a try. He seemed friendly enough. And so, Cornelius plopped down in the seat across from him, flashing him a friendly smile and throwing out a hand for introduction. "I'm Cornelius."

The bench moved when someone added their weight to it, but this wasn't just anyone at one end of the bench. This one felt a little closer. Eino looked to his side and was immediately greeted by a wide smile and an extended hand. "Hello Cornelius." Eino said taking his hand with a light grip, and shook it violently, like his whole arm was made of jelly, and now Cornelius' arm was made of jelly, too. Eino had never seen Cornelius around, or at least he didn't recognize him. Not even after staring at his face for a few seconds, possibly making the boy feel uncomfortable. "I'm Eino. Eino Uronen, fifth year Ravenclaw." That was usually how people introduced each other around here. Name, year, and house. The fact that the boy didn't do this suggested that maybe he wasn't from here? Eino was familiar with most Ravenclaws and this boy looked his age so there was no chance he wouldn't have seen him in four years. "I do hope my following question doesn't offend you, as I tend to forget people's faces easily, but are you a new?" There was no apologetic tone in Eino's words, just curiosity.

"Looking good with the new badge Mr. Uronen." She commented.

And then, someone else showed up. Eino swiftly turned his head around and greeted the young, and very promising, Ravenclaw girl. "Hello Beatrice." He said, displaying a small smile. When she mentioned his badge, he looked down at it, then back up. "Thank you." He continued, with a slightly wider smile. "How was your summer?" They have time to chat, right? It didn't seem like the staff table was full, so it didn't seem like Headmaster Tate was going to start his speech any time soon.
