Fussing with the sleeves of his robe, he thought about her question. "I have a younger sister. I don't know too much about Hogwarts, but my parents thought it was important that I start meeting other people my own age." He paused. "I really don't know what else to say. What about you?"
He was distracted, though, by the ghost hovering. "Um. Miss? Who... are you?"
"That's true! I hope we'll see them some more!" she exclaimed with a smile.
"A younger sister? Cool, what's her name?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Um, let's see. You already know I'm from Germany. I have no younger siblings nor older, but I've always wanted one. I really, really like peach rings," she exclaimed, wishing that she'd be able to get to her chest soon, she had a few bags in there.
She watched the ghost and just sat quietly, staring up at her.

He wasn't sure what to do, since he had never met her before. But he was going to start with introduction himself. "Austin Moore, second year Claw." He winked at the firstie.
Tessa was grateful for the introduction, she really wanted to meet some other Ravenclaws. She raised an eyebrow at the wink, no one ever actually winked at her before. "Nice to meet you, Austin. I'm Tessa Jin, first year," she replied with a small nod of her head.

And thinking about nothing was the perfect reboot.
Also, person. Looking around till her deep brown eyes landed on the speaker, 'Ophie spotted another firstie. Oh yay! Didn't she see the other girl on the boat platform earlier? Then again, the short girl saw a lot of people, and she wasn't too good with faces. But maybe she and the firstie could work on homework together --if she actually completed it-- and go on adventures and run around the school together. Because this rebel needed a rebelette to compliment her style. And no, that did not mean getting in trouble. Most of the time.
"Hi! You're a first year too?" Dumb question, but Ophelia wasn't good at starting conversation. She was homeschooled all of her life, so there. But whatever, as long as it all worked out in the end.
"Yeah, I'm Tessa and you are?" she smiled brightly at the blonde. She seemed like a nice girl, she really needed to make more girl friends at the school, especially since she was already friends with Leo, and Thorton and now Austin. She was truly happy to learn about magic, coming from a muggle home, this was all new to her. She loved to look around the hall, it was so amazing!
