Kohen wasn't too sure he would have been able to navigate the narrow corridor any better as a first year. He wasn't overly tall but even back then he would probably have struggled with his large trunk getting stuck on door handles and whatnot. He actually liked the train. It was much cooler than the one that had brought him to Beauxbatons every year, but this whole "old school design" sure had its downsides. Ah well, it couldn't be helped though and at least Connor didn't seem miffed about their little accident back there. Maybe all of this would even end with them becoming friends.

He himself took a good look at the countryside that was rushing by outside, before asking Connor about Hogwarts. His family had lived in Paris before moving back to a smaller town here in Scotland and he had always missed the countryside while he was at home during his holidays from Beauxbatons. Wherever Hogwarts exactly was, he hoped it would be surrounded by mountains and vast fields.

"A magical hat? That sounds... different. I'm not used to houses as well. We were just separated by gender and that was that. Didn't need a magical hat for that," he grinned. "Do you know anything about the houses? You said your family was, what, Ravenclaw?" He probably shouldn't have been surprised about this whole sorting business. He knew that private Muggle schools in the UK often had houses like that, but he hadn't really thought about any of that up until now... Just another thing to be nervous about, he supposed. Was there something like a house for magical losers? He sure as hell didn't want to end up there.

"Dangerous? Well... I've heard some stories from the last war, of course, but I hope it's just dangerous enough to be interesting and not actually life threatening."

Connor laughed a bit at that. "Well, no i would hope no one needs a magical hat for that. Salem was pretty much the same, Gender not house." He nodded and sat forward a little bit. The thought of houses made him nervous because it seemed that whatever house you end up in that it was how people would end up looking at you. He didn't like that idea.

"Well, there are four houses as far as i know." He wasn't completely sure, he hadn't asked too many questions until recently. "There's Ravenclaw and it's where all the smart people go." He wanted to end up there but he knew he was never particularly smart. "Gryffindor is where they stick all the brave and arrogant people, or at least that's what my mom said. Slytherin is for the ambitious and sneaky..and Hufflepuff is for everyone else." He wasn't sure that's how things were but..this was what he had heard.

"So I don't know what to expect at all. As far as it being dangerous i've never heard anything recent about it being like that." But maybe his mother never said anything because she knew he wouldn't want to go if it seemed dangerous or scary? What if it was dangerous and this was all just to get him to go there? His Mom wouldn't do that. Right? Right!

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..
