Eino's eyes widened when the boy repeated the same word. Maybe Eino hadn't spoken loud enough? He tilted his head to the right, then to the left, then returned it to an upright position. Eino folded his hands behind his back before speaking. "Hello?" He greeted, this time less cheery and slightly more confused. The possibility that the boy was actually Peeves playing a prank on Eino crossed his mind, but Peeves usually liked to trick the younger students, so Eino discarded that idea. Something most definitely was off in this situation, and it was not because of the armors!

As he waited, he realized that the boy was about his own height so he couldn't be much younger than him. Still, he could not recall ever seeing him in the school, even if he was a Hufflepuff. After four years, Eino could recognize most of the students in his year and those older, even if he didn't know all of them.
