And now that he'd done that, he was getting laughed at. For even though she was attempting to cover it, he could tell she was chuckling internally. Because he wasn't used to all this not-being-shy business, so now he was just being awkward. Sigh.

So he wasn't the only one who got left by his parents. "My parents had to meet Auntie F--" he stopped himself. "They had a lunch date at Diagon Alley to get to. My dad hates magical transportation, so they had to get going." Whereas Auntie Fina, no, Professor Hadley now, could leave five minutes beforehand and be right on time. Sometimes Pao didn't understand his dad's reluctance, but he didn't dwell on it. "So.. you weren't kidding. We actually have to run into a wall?" Why had his mother neglected to tell him that? "I kinda half hoped you were joking.. Please tell me it melts away or something right before you get there.." In other words, no. He was phased by the idea. "If you haven't noticed, I, er... I tend to have a propensity for accidents."

Woah. Advanced creature studies? She must be a Ravenclaw if she's that smart! And most likely a seventh year if she already had plans. He warmed a bit inside as she confirmed his use of a jacket as a good idea. Maybe he'd get Sorted into Ravenclaw after all, just like her. Then he'd already know someone in his House. And a cool seventh year to boot!

He noticed her gripping her trolley and prepared to do the same. "Oh, hi Kurumi. I'm Logan, but everyone calls me Pao." A trend which he hoped would continue at Hogwarts. Except with Aunt Faith. He had already resigned himself to that fact.

Ceasing her soft laughter for now, Kurumi lowered her hand and looked at the boy. "Well, it is very brave of you to come all on your own - even if it wasn't exactly your choice." She had been half tempted to turn around and run in the opposite direction when she had been thrown here on her own. Only she had realized that she had no where to go but on to the platform. She couldn't use any of the public transportation here. Nor could she find her way back to Japan. So, really, she was left with flailing and wandering aimlessly until someone took pity on her and showed her the way.

"I wish it did," she sighed. The barrier vanishing right before you hit it that is. "I still shut my eyes before I go through and open them when I hear the sounds of the platform. You'll be fine. Best to take it at a bit of a run, as I was told when I first tried to get on it." Prone to accidents? Sounded like a Hufflepuff in the making. Not that Gryffindors weren't prone to them or anything, it had just been more Kurumi's experience that Hufflepuffs had trouble find them whereas Gryffindors went looking for it.

"Is there one you would rather I call you? Logan or Pao I mean," she asked, tucking another stray strand of hair behind her ear.
