The first thing Hayden did when she entered the Great Hall was look around for her table. It was unmistakable, covered with yellow and black. It didn't look like too many people had decided to be brave and venture toward other tables. So, wanting something to drink but nothing major, Hayden started to walk toward the Hufflepuff table. But then she noticed a different table, and a young boy sitting all by himself. She glanced between the two tables for a moment and then walked toward the one under the green and silver banner before she could change her mind.

"Hello," she said shyly to the boy when she reached the table. But she didn't sit down yet. What if he didn't want her company?
