Jordan looked up the table to the older students shouting welcomes, and shouted back a "Thanks!"

They looked like they were talking about older people stuff, and he was both prepared to let them be and tempted to butt-scoot closer to hear what they were talking about.

He even remembered being shy, just like this boy joining the table right now.

Alone. The boy was sitting on his own. That... wasn't right.

The seventh year shuffled closer towards the boy because... shuffling was a little less scary. Unless you're alone in the woods and you hear a shuffle. ... Moving on... "They're great for pretending you're a rock hero, those spoons. You can use them with the forks to play air drums," ... And... they were having a conversation about spoons. Wasn't he trying to be cool here? "Congratulations, by the way. Hufflepuff's a really awesome house."
Jordan spotted the boy before he actually spoke, thanks to the shuffling motion. Bit odd, really. Especially with the words that came after it. Still, it was nice to have someone to talk to, and something to do, besides playing with a spoon.

He looked at the spoon, then back at the much-older boy. This boy probably knew a lot of magic. Jordan didn't know any. Learning and stuff and things was an opportunity here.

"...do they actually make music?" It was a magic school with moving paintings and, he'd overheard, a tree that could whomp you into a pancake in two seconds. Why wouldn't the utensils make music when played properly?
