Monty stopped scratching his arm, putting it firmly down by his side as he looked quizzically at the older boy. Hot? How did he know he was hot? Oh gosh, did he read minds? Was he one of those........wait, he said "You look hot". Oh. Well that made more sense. A school age person probably couldn't read minds yet.
But he looked hot? He didn't realised he looked hot. Felt, yes.
Staring into the window next to the one the boy had just opened, Monty put his hand to his face and rubbed it, trying to get rid of the terrible redness that had somehow crept up his cheeks. Well, that was embarrassing. It clashed horribly with his outfit.
"Uhhhh, thank you." He stuttered, smiling up and nodding. That was very kind of him really. "It's much better. I tried opening the one in - in the place I'm sitting back there," thumbing over his shoulder, his grin got wider. Or was it the other way? He had no clue. Which was a problem, because he'd left his stuff down there. "But it was stuck. It's the coat you see. Quite thick."
Trying not to pay too much attention to the younger boy's efforts as he seemingly tried to rub off some non-existent dirt off his face, Cris smiled at him, waving off the boy's thanks.
"
No problem, you're most welcome. I'm glad you're feeling better now. You did? Maybe when we're done here, I can follow you back there and help you with that window," Cris offered the moment the boy mentioned he had attempted to open the window in his compartment.
"
I'm back somewhere over there...or is it there?" Cris gestured over in one direction before realizing he was pointing in the wrong direction...or was it? "
Well I do know I'm somewhere in the middle. Where exactly I don't know but I'm sure I'll find it when I come to it...I hope." Cris grinned back at the boy, knowing how easy it could be to get lost, even on a train.
"
So, I'm Cris and it's nice to meet you. This will be my first year at Hogwarts." he introduced himself, sticking out his hand to shake the boy's before blurting out the one question he had been wanting to ask the boy ever since he mentioned that his coat was thick.
"
Um....I apologize for being so nosey, but may I ask why you're wearing such a thick coat in the middle of summer? Is it your favorite?"

SPOILER!!: Jasmine

Jasmine was surprised when Cris started apologizing to her. Looking puzzled, she waited for him to finish speaking. "You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. You didn't make me feel awkward at all. Actually you've made me feel comfortable because you are one of the few people on this train that I already know. Besides you introduced me to your friends and they've been wonderful,". Hearing how nervous he was, Jasmine tried to put Cris at ease. "Cris, you don't ever have to be nervous with me. OK? We'll tackle Hogwarts together....two newbies. I'm glad to have you for my friend"
Cris grinned at Jasmine even as his tummy rumbled. "
Actually I've been hungry ever since I boarded the train. I believe the Cornish pasties are delicious. I'm going to get some. I can share them with you if you want. That way you won't be wasting your money if you don't like it," he told her as his tummy rumbled again.
Laughing, he patted his tummy. "
Shush, I'm talking to a pretty girl right now. Stop interrupting," he spoke down to it, not realizing he had just revealed that he considered Jasmine pretty.
Then he blushed when he heard what she said next and gulped back the lump in his throat. "
Okay ," he quickly nodded in agreement. "
Yes we will tackle Hogwarts together. Two newbies," he smiled down at her.
"
So would you like some cucumber sandwiches too?" he grinned over at her gesturing to the cellophane wrapped packages on the Food Trolley.
