Adi had made it in time to hear the first year girl introduce herself. "Hi, Hayden. I'm Adi.'' He had quite given up on saying his full name when everyone just called him by his nickname. It was weird how he went around the whole term not knowing the firstie. Anyway, that was changing now, yes? "Had a good first year?'' Despite the cold and all?

Adi returned Lux's wave. "Cold,'' was all he said with a grin. Would they ever be rid of it? He never thought he'd want the heat as much as he did now. "So, what you going to be doing for the summer? Hanging out at Bay's?'' Bay needed to make it up to Lux for all that worry. Though it wasn't hs fault. Hehe.

Exploring? Adi grinned at Kace. "Where are you planning to explore?'' Was Kace heading to some other country or was he going to be Kace the Explorer here at home? "Nah, I haven't planned anything. I'll just take it one day at a time for now.'' Maybe he'd drop in on Benny. Or Benny could come visit him. Hmmm.

And then there were more Hufflepuffs turning up. Six of them. Not all of them at once of course. "Hey!'' He smiled happily at Tobias, Mari, Hazel, Olly and Leah. The Hufflepuff family. Well, part of it. Some were still missing, yes?

The sixth was Elodie. Just thinking that next term she wouldn't be there made the almost fourth year sad. But he wasn't going to make this a depressing occasion. He headed over to the girl who had saved him from taking a dive in the duck pond a few years ago. "Super Els.'' He smiled widely and gave her a huuuge hug.
