"I'm just focusing on not getting lost," he lightly chuckled. He could recall coming across a swamp on his way to his common room. "I'm a little nervous about actually casting spells. I haven't even tried yet." Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of red, and it wasn't from a Gryffindor, but a small ginger girl he'd seen before.[/B]
Haruka looked at Altair, confused. She listened when he started to explain, but she was still a little lost, so she just went with it. Astrology names are always cool.
She nodded in agreement about trying not to get lost, and smiled assuringly when he mentioned being nervous about casting spells. Then Haruka noticed that Altair was distracted by something, and watched as he went over to talk to a red-haired girl looking for a book. She sat up nervously as Altair began walking over with the girl, but smiled kindly nonetheless.
SPOILER!!: Brynn

She stopped, trying to listen, though she did not turn in the direction of the sound until she heard a hey. Brown eyes scanned the area, landing on a pair of kids about her age, a boy and a girl. And the boy was familiar. Altair, wasn't it?
"Hi," she waved back, giving the boy a smile and watched as he took a few steps in her direction. Oh yes, she remembered him. Most likely unbeknownst to him, his friendly conversation came at a time when she most needed it, right after a fight with her best when she was feeling horrible. Though she wasn't so sure if they were best friends anymore. Pushing that thought out of her mind, she turned back to Altair.
"I remember," she nodded happily, then laughed a little bit as he recounted their conversation. It had been a pretty funny misunderstanding as was the mental image. Taking his hand, she shook it, then decided to offer her name as well, wondering if he maybe had forgotten in their brief passing. "I'm Brynn."
The redhead gave a glance to the girl sitting nearby as the boy mentioned her, then she nodded again. "Sure," she grinned, happy to have some company for the moment. Brynn gave the girl a little wave as she walked over and took a nearby seat. "Hi, I'm Brynn.. Is this your first year too?" She knew that it was Altair's from him telling her and this girl looked about their age too. "So what do you both think of Hogwarts?" She looked up at the boy as he mentioned their topic of discussion. "The moving staircases are really cool, aren't they? Sometimes it's fun to just go on them and see where you end up." As long as you weren't running late for class, that is. "And the grounds are so big!" Well, the castle was too, really. There had been so much to explore and she was sure she hadn't even seen half of it.
Haruka waved back at the girl, Brynn, as she sat down.
"I'm Haruka," she replied.
"And yes, I'm a first year." "I'm enjoying Hogwarts just fine," she said, and listened as Brynn discussed the staircases.
"I really haven't seen much of the school yet. The library was my first stop." Haruka fiddled with her sleeve shyly.
