Plopping down in an Indian style manner he patted the porch beside him. He had company now! " You're a first year I take it? How are you liking Hogwarts so far? "
"Something like that," Archie commented, following his companion's gaze back out to the grounds. "I wouldn't like to say base on myself, given I've barely started my Ravenclaw journey, but my cousins are all really clever and they were Ravenclaws." He just hoped he could follow in their footsteps adequately and not let them down.
Silas was asking him to sit down? Archie plopped down beside him, and wiggled to get comfy on the cushion as he crossed his legs underneath him. "I am. And I think it's pretty cool. So many places to explore. I think I've barely touched the surface of what there is to see." And that was with a list of recommendations in hand. "Am I right in thinking you're not new around here?" Archie was pretty sure Silas was older than him, but some older students - especially those of other houses - weren't all that welcoming when it came to talking to firsties, so now he wasn't so sure.
