Family holidays had always gone back to Scotland or to Spain, which he had always found pretty lame. Transferring to Salem instead of Hogwarts, now that would have been something to be more excited about, he was sure. Then again, he didn't really know anything about Hogwarts yet, so maybe it was even going to be better than Beauxbatons... At least the girls could hardly be more stuck up.

"Pretty small people, I'm guessing," he grinned, giving Connor a nod as he suggested continuing their search together. "Sounds good. Everything that way looked pretty jammed with people," he said, pointing behind him.

Together they continued down the corridor, glancing into compartments until after about five minutes they actually found an empty one. He knew it was bound to happen, seeing how they had come across compartments with 10 and more people crammed into them when there were only 8 seats, but he was still relieved when they entered and closed the door behind them. Dragging his trunk around had really started to get on his nerves.

"So... Do you know anything about Hogwarts? I'm Muggleborn, so I don't really know what to expect," he asked when they finally sat down.

Connor nodded. Not that he knew much more about the UK he had just arrived here shortly before school started to get school supplies. He didn't even know if he liked England yet but here he was living here already. But his mother seemed happier and it was apparently a good school, though he met a boy earlier who said something about it being dangerous, what was not a comforting thought.

"Maybe someone needs to tell them that we're not all first years." He replied back, grinning to himself. He followed Kohen down the corridor, delighted when they found an empty compartment, his feet were getting tired from looking for one. Looking out the window he could see the countryside. It was long and expansive, so different from back home, different than Salem too. He had a strange feeling, like he was lost like his life could go a million different ways and while it was scary it was also kinda nice.

He heard Kohen from inside of his own little stupor and turned back to reality. "Ohh, i mean not too much. I'm a Half-Blood. My Mom went but Dad was a muggle and Mom didn't say much other than that her whole family were Ravenclaws, i know they have houses there? I'm not really used to that. And some kind of magical hat puts you there." Some things about Magic he still found to be very weird. "But I met some kid earlier who said that it was a bit dangerous too. But he was a third year, so maybe he was just being a kid?" He knew some of the younger students tend to have wilder imaginations. But the kid did seem serious..
