Jasmine meant what she had said about the two of them taking in Hogwarts together. She was glad she had a new friend to share the experience with. They would both understand what the other one was going through, being a transfer and all.
Then Cris asked about cucumber sandwiches. What was it with this bunch and cucumber sandwiches? "Um.....no. I think I'll pass on the cucumber sandwiches. I will give the Cornish pasties a try though.". They definitely sounded better than cucumber sandwiches.
Cris chuckled when he heard Jasmine decline his offer of cucumber sandwiches. "
Ahhh...dare I say that we have another thing in common? First our love for the wildlife parks in San Diego and second our possible aversion to the taste of cucumber sandwiches?" Cris raised an eyebrow even as he grinned down at Jasmine.
"
Yes Cornish pasties it'll be and maybe a couple of chocolate frogs, some of those pumpkin pasties, a couple of cauldron cakes and oh yes we definitely need to get some of Bertie Botts Every Flavored beans." Cris pointed out their selection.
"
I especially like the marmalade flavored ones. Do you think we've got enough? I guess we could always come back and get some more if we're still hungry," Cris winked at Jasmine as he waited for the person in front of him to give their order.
"
So how long did you live in San Diego? I've lived in Bergen almost all my life. I would love to return to visit San Diego again. The beaches there are nice although I have to admit that Hawaii has better places to go surfing. Have to Hawaii before?....and I rambling again aren't I?" Cris paused when he realized what he was doing.
....yes maybe it would be good, if he actually allowed Jasmine to answer some of his questions and ask some of hers.
Okay...listen now.

Monty SPOILER!!: Monty

"Uhhh, Montague Fuzzlepeck. The third." His father never let him forget that - 'You are third generation, Montague. Do us proud!' - It made him so much more nervous. Swallowing, he looked at Cris' hand and slowly took hold of it, shaking as firmly as his much smaller one would allow. "Most people call me Monty, though. It's nice to meet you!"
Oh, yes. His coat. It was a thing of beauty, if he did say so himself. But certainly not what you'd really wear in summer, to be sure. He just had to though.
Looking back down, Monty pulled up the bottom of his robes so Cris could get a better look at the full outfit - tights, shoes, short trousers, waistcoat, ruffle shirt and frock coat. And it was definitely the coat causing the overheating.
"I like to dress up. It's fun. This is my favourite, yes. Although I have more in my trunk. Along with some regular clothes. At my mother's insistence."
Cris blinked as the boy introduced himself. Such a small boy with a long name, albeit a very respectful sounding name. Resisting the urge to click his heels together and bow to the boy, because that was how he saw others do when addressing people with fancy names like Monty's, Cris just shook his hand instead.
"
Well it is nice to meet you, Monty. My full name isn't as fancy as yours but I still like it. My name is Cristoffer Daniel Strand, Master Fuzzleback. I'm sorry I got that wrong didn't I?" Cris paused when he realized his mistake.
"
Let me try that again. It's Master Fuzzlepeck. Did I get that right? My mother reminded me that it is always important to get a person's name right." Cris smiled at the boy.
Then talk was centered on the coat Monty had mentioned. When the younger boy raised the bottom of his robes to show what he was wearing underneath, Cris caught a glimpse of some ruffled material. Bending down to get a clearer view, he was surprised to see what Monty was wearing. Sure it was alright to play dress up, heck he did that all the time, his favorite being a pirate, but to actually wear them, here on the train, and at school, took a lot of guts.
....and Cris had to admit Monty had plenty of that. Either that or he just felt comfortable wearing those clothes...and there was nothing wrong with that either. Cris just began to worry what the other students in school might have to say about Monty's idiosyncrasies. Some of them could be downright cruel. Cris made a mental note to himself to keep a watch over the younger boy.
However, he on the other hand, admired the boy. This young boy knew what he liked and wasn't afraid to show it. "
Where did you find these clothes, Monty? They are awesome. You say you have more than one? Would it be possible for you to show it to me later? I only have two outfits. A pirate one and a..." Cris paused to make sure was eavesdropping on their conversation before continuing in a whispered voice,"
costume of the Avenger superhero, Thor. I even have his Heimdall."
"
Of course neither of them are as fancy or elaborate as yours." Cris quickly added.
