And then got sorted into Slytherin and sat at the Hufflepuff table.
That guy made Richard hope for fun times. But after that - nothing.
A big, fat load of nothing. That's all that happened so far.
To make things worse, the older students were acting like somebody died ... or was about to die. And yes, it was Hogwarts so that could happen. Just not before the food, please.
That was why the fourteen year old boy was walking around the hall, willing time to go faster by the sheer power of his walk. It still hadn't really worked, but he had found one of those odd men that seemed to be around the place. HMM. "The staff table is there, mate." He said suddenly, stopping in front of the man and using his hand to point at the table on the other side of the hall. He narrowed his eyes at the stranger and tried to adopt his position. Dude, he was standing up straighter than a ruler! "You are a professor, yeah?" Or was he a student?
OH MERLIN. Could they actually fail students so much that they'd still be studying here even though they were OLD?! Jake was just about to cross over to the other side of the doors again when someone was there, telling him where the staff table was. Ooooookay? "Yeah, I know," Jake nodded, nodding and glancing up there once again. Why was-... ohhhhh. Okay, yeah, that made sense. He looked back at the boy and relaxed his posture a little before shaking his head. "No, I'm not a professor. I'm with the ministry. Hit Wizard."
As he said this, Jake became aware of more kids entering the Hall, and he glanced over at them, just dOING HIS JOB. He was actually starting to regret standing by this door so early, when people were bound to still be arriving. But still, he was here now, and really this was one of the best views of the place.
Nudging his glasses up his face again, Jake looked again to the kid that had spoken to him. He briefly considered trying to be funny and asking if HE was a professor... but decided against it. Humour was hard.
