Cris waited for everyone to introduce themselves and smiled when he saw another Hufflepuff come over to join him. Cris recognized him from Potions and Herbology class. "Hi I'm Cris, you're Toby, right?" Cris smiled in greeting.

Then he heard what Toby asked Professor Culloden, and Cris immediately empathized with him. Being either a vegetarian or vegan, it would have been hard for Toby to consume potion that had animal content in it. Fortunately, there were a few that didn't.

"Toby, if the Professor says you don't need to drink the potion, you could work with me. I'll do the carrying and maybe you could do the putting together, like hammering or gluing it together," Cris suggested to Toby. Yes they could still use his help, with out without super strength.

Then Cris turned to Bay and Sophie as he joined everyone to look at the plans Bay had drawn.

"That's a great idea, Bay. These look great," Cris complimented Bay as he studied the plans.

Then he turned to Sophie. He shrugged, shaking her head in response to her question. "I don't really know the Groundskeeper at all. I mean I've heard he's into exercising and weightlifting stuff. I know it sounds dumb but could we maybe incorporate a small exercise area inside the porch?" Cris asked the others.

"Maybe we can also decorate it. Does anyone have any ideas how we can decorate the porch or does that sound too feminine?" Cris asked sheepishly.
