Forrest nodded affirmatively. He felt nice already. He wondered whether other houses were like this too. He'd ask--wait, he didn't know ANYONE yet.
Oh well.
"What kind of sports activities are there?" Just to ask something, and just to get something BIG out of way.

Confused boy was confused.
OH HE WAS SPEAKING! ... Quietly. He was talking very quietly but he was still talking. "It's great to meet you, Forrest!" Forrest, Forrest... he couldn't come up with a nickname from that. Hmmm... Also, did the guy just call himself a muggle? "Erm... so all of this must be really new to you, yeah?" Yup, he was going to ignore the muggle bit... sort of. "Hogwarts is really awesome! I hope you really like it here." And if he didn't Alec would... would... give up ice cream.
... Nah.
Forrest nodded, meeting his gaze again. People were so NICE in here, it was hard to be intimidated--though his shyness was more on the
impressed side. Oblivious to his confusion, and in an attempt to be more talkative, he said
"People I've met so far are very nice, quite the opposite of students in my previous schools."
Except for Daichi. HE wasn't nice. He'd first mentioned
f--
His hand twitched a little, and he had to make it a punch under the table to stop the urge. More silence. Forrest'd understand if he wanted to join his friends--he was probably the most boring person he'd ever talked.

Something strange was definitely going on.
Then Alyssa turned to see a familiar face join their table.
Oh, it was this house elves again! Forrest frowned to himself, trying to remember who'd mentioned them too--it was the Gryffindor on the train, Sarah! He drew a breath to ask about them, but she was already talking to some people else. Oh well. He'd just ask about them to someone else.

I find all of the stuff so strange... and interesting, especially now having spent the holidays with the two of them-" she caught herself as she'd started rambling, a blush rising on her cheeks as she stopped herself from going on and looked down slightly, a bit different from the usual confidence considering she hated when she rambled, kind of wondering what Forrest would think now...
So, Forrest had uttered a popular class name. Well,
that was relieving.
She found
all of muggle stuff strange? Forrest frowned. That didn't make sense. Apart from a hat that could read minds, what difference did wizards have from them?
"I'm a muggleborn," he said distractedly. MANY things didn't make sense in here. He was the only muggleborn he had yet to meet... how could he be magical if his parents weren't?
DEEP stuff. He'd ask it to a professor at the first chance.

She had heard of it before, but had she ever been there before. “Is it nice?”
“So Forrest, do you come from a wizard family?” It wasn’t a big deal if he wasn’t, she wasn’t really with her dad being a muggle, but it was just something to ask. If he wasn’t she could help him relate and help explain things if he needed, no need for him to think he had to pretend, because so many were oblivious and unknowing before coming to school, she was one of them.
Forrest felt nice upon seeing she wanted to talk. That meant she liked talking to him, right?
"We moved to London when I was less than a year old, so I don't know much about Durham." He paused, playing with a napkin...
...
"No, I'm a muggleborn." ...
"Are you?" Was it rude to ask that to people as if he was asking their race?
