Ian smiled at Ella. She was very nice and it helped him feel better being away from home sometimes having an older student who was kind. Of course, Huffies were generally naturally kind. As Ella was asking about him, another student came in and Ella greeted her as well and then proposed that Ella and the new girl work on potions together.

Ian was introduced and he smiled at the younger girl he hadn't met yet. He waved to her briefly and then Ella said that she would breathe fire on him if he wanted her to. He remembered what happened with Bart. Maybe it was different with a nice person who wasn't sputtering fire. Sure. he said to her and then added, ...and then maybe you could help me with herbology a little? he asked hopefully.
