You know… In case he actually did say something funny? Actually, no he was pretty sure he didn’t. Merlin, meeting people was always a very, very strange thing. ”Nat,” he only repeated it once out loud, but fifty million times in his head. He wasn’t going to forget it. NOPE. ”Merlin, I’m starving!” Okay he liked this one. ”The Headmistress likes to take her time.” She was like the queen. The queen who took away Prefect badges and was totally intimidating and everything.
Then he turned to Jackson and gave him a weird look. Hyung??? What was a Hyung? ”Uh, no.. I’m Zander… My name’s just Zander? Who’s hee-uh-ung?” Mispronouncing the whole way through by the way. Oops? Zander Adair not Zander Hyung. Where did this guy come up with that anyways? Was HIS name Hyung?
Merlin. All this meeting new people stuff was kind of exhausting? So when Zander saw the next batch of new faces, he just gave them all warm smiles. They had plenty of time for introductions. Like in the Common Room. No worries, this wasn’t entirely his duty, right? Right. But otherwise he decided to stick with the people he actually knew, like Emmylou. ”Only alright?” This was probably Zander’s best summer yet to be quite honest. He hung out with the likes of Kevin, Puck, Sophie’s Tobes AND Sophie Brown. Then on top of that there was a field trip he was actually old enough to go on. And well anyways, ”My summer was alright too, just glad to have gotten the school year done with, y’know?” Except they were back now so that was kind of… Yeah.
See, wasn’t wrong was he? Where there was a Benny, there was usually an Adi. Not that the Gryffindor minded or anything, Adi was great. Somehow the guy always had energy. And the patience to jump around from table to table whilst not being all grumbly about food things. Ahem. Except Zander wasn’t being all grumbly this time around because this was a good day. So far. Hopefully Gryffindor wouldn’t lose any points off the bat this time around. Zander was going to keep in check. MHM. Especially because he knew he was already on the radar after everything last year. No more detentions for this kid NOPE.
And then when there was an Adi there was normally an AJ, so that one wasn’t surprising either. Except AJ was actually a Gryffindor so it wouldn’t have been surprising either way and you know what? Never mind. Merlin. He opted to give her a wave too, but before he knew it she was making his way over. Ah, fist bump? They were still doing that then? Zander returned of course and he was making an improvement with it too. See his fist bump was ALMOST professional level now, or well… At least he didn’t hesitate AS much, okay? Baby steps. And then she brought it up. Merlin, the sixth year had REALLY been hoping that she forgot about that. ”Erm yeah… About your plan… We’ve got to talk about that,” later. Talk about that later. Or never. Either one. But there was just a SLIGHT issue with the whole take-a-bunch-of-first-year-minions-into-the-forbidden-forrest-to-retrieve-a-unicorn-for-AJ thing.
And soon enough everyone else was trickling in too. Which meant a wave to Cinna—who he still felt very awkward about—and a smile at Lux and Chance. Sir Nicholas got a grand smile. ”Hello, Sir!” Always a load of fun he was.
