Cor's face lit up at the information, finding himself in the company of someone else in his year! Hoorah for good coincidences! "Cornelius Rune, nice to meet you," he replied with a brief nod, absentmindedly examining the empty goblet next to his plate. It was then that Eino asked if he was a new student that year and Cornelius looked up from his goblet with a grin.
"Ah, yes, you've caught me," he joked, as though he'd been concealing his true identity throughout the past minute of conversation. He glanced up at the ceiling dotted with stars, though continued talking to the student at his side, "This is my first year here, but I'm also a 5th year. And no offense taken. I've just been moving around schools for a few years now--"
Cornelius whipped his head around as a new voice joined the conversation, glancing at a girl who was now speaking to Eino and mentioning something about a badge. The new student's brows furrowed just slightly, not exactly understanding what this badge meant.
This boy liked to smile very much, which left Eino hoping he could give him some smiling lessons. He had the tendency to produce the most forced and fake looking smiles without even realizing it. Maybe this boy just meant all of the smiles he smiled. Well, in that case he was a very smiley fellow, which made Eino smile a nice, genuine, small, quick smile.
"Likewise." He said and returned the nod.
"Oh!" Eino exclaimed and jumped back, startled.
"I do apologize for catching you." He said looking at his hands, then under the table at his feet, and glanced behind the boy's back. How he had caught him, Eino didn't know. But he
did, somehow, like the boy was a pogrebin, and Eino had tossed a net over him and caught him.
"How awfully rude of me." Eino uttered to himself as he shook his head, still searching for any evidence of having caught the boy, but there was none.
He discarded the thought as the boy continued talking briefly about his past. Apparently he was a new transfer student, and also the same age as Eino.
"In that case, welcome to Hogwarts." He said with a series of nods.
"If there's anything you need help with, do let me know. I've been around for four years, so I should have answers." He paused for a moment, then returned his attention to the boy.
"Where else have you been?" Eino himself wasn't a native to England so he was always curious to meet other people who had traveled and studied abroad.

Summer? Summer? "Oh. It was great. Erin actually went to my place." And that was one summer that she won't forget. "You know Erin right?" She asked. If not, then maybe she could introduce her best friend to him.
"Well, you were one of our top students last term. That is quite an accomplishment." It also made several people hard to miss, plus she was a Ravenclaw, so of course he knew her. He accepted her second compliment with another smile, trying to mimic Cornelius' smile this time, but he didn't know how that worked out, and he wouldn't until he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Erin... The name does sound familiar but I cannot put a face to it." Eino admitted but did not stop trying to think of what Erin might look like.
