At least she wasn't upset he had, what a way to meet someone, bump into them and greet them. "I...I'm Torie" Wait hugs? "Errr I guess." he said nodding. Was that like a new greeting or something? He thought that was like only mums, dads, uncles and aunties. Or was it a kind of muggle sweet. Yeah that sounded right. A chocolate thingy he was sure. So definitely yes! He smiled with relief when she offered for him to sit next to her and looked towards Jay with a shrug and moved to sit beside her as another student spoke up.

"Coolest house?" he asked with a grin as he said it was the coolest house. She'd said bestest, he'd said coolest. Well it must be anyway, Torie and Jay were now part of it too! "Ohhhh access to all the food? Is our common room near the kitchens?" Wait mum had said something about that hadn't she?

"Mum said the house elves are AWESOME and they will make loads of food if you ask nicely!" he nodded, showing he knew something about the house already. "She told us how to get in and said that if we make friends with the elves, we'll be okay for the rest of the years here."

James watched as Torie got... verbally bombarded? by the girl who had the same name as his sister. His eyes started to shine a little when he heard her name and looked at his brother before turning his eyes to the table. "I'm James." he responded to the new one called Hayden, though he seemed a little more sad now. He missed his sister.

"Tell me what you did. I am interested." He grinned and wanted her to say something fun at least. Now onto his? He chuckled and thought about it. "You know it was soo fast. I think I was dreading coming here for my last year..." he trailed off when he heard her even more questions and he laughed and shook his head. "Woaaahh slow down there buckaroo." he held a hand up. "To answer your first one, I didn't really do cool stuff. I don't know what your definition of cool is but I did read and skateboard and surfboard." he shrugged. Now onto the second question. "I can't do magic at home yet. If I did my mother would yell at me. I think I can only do magic when I graduate.." he said not reallly positive. He laughed at this one even more. "I mean I did try to blow stuff on my field back home. My cousins came out and we tried to and we also blew up fireworks." he winked.

"Now tell me did you blow stuff up? Tell me I am not the only one.." he teased her and ruffled her hair. She was too adorable for her own good.

She had seen him over the summer, but there were people she hadn't seen. "Hey Kace! Are you looking forward to the year?" He was a seventh year. A SEVENTH YEAR! At the end of the year he would be leaving, and that was sad. Hayden was finally getting old enough that she had friends who were seventh years and would leave her at the end of the year. It was so sad.
