As though summoned by Milton's silent wish, Cornelius Rune appeared on the scene with the usual bounce to his step, making his way to the wall in a casual stride. Duffel bag flung over his shoulder and trunk wheeling behind him, he was just positioning himself to start towards the wall when he thought it best to make sure no Muggles were aware of what he was doing. It was in this quick glance to either side that he caught sight of Milton casually waiting near the platform, glancing around so naturally that he wouldn't have pinned him for Hogwarts had it not been for the bags he was sporting and his proximity to the entrance. And the observation of Muggles, that was generally a sign.

Flashing his natural smile, Cornelius acknowledged him with a brief wave over his duffel bag, using the few fingers not entangled in the strap as he gestured to the wall barrier with a brief nod of his head. "It's best if you just take it at a run," he called lightly, flashing yet another smile as he took in the unknown person's appearance and realized he was obviously much older than a first year. He was an exchange student! Must've been; just like he had been last year. "You must be new." He paused, feeling a little rude for not introducing himself yet, and moved his duffel bag on top of his trunk so he could extend a hand across the distance between them. "I'm Cornelius."
