In the theory of befriending this quietly grouchy goblin-boy, Davie pushed his glasses up his nose and leaned forward to see what was on his notepad.

How funny, he wasn't writing with a quill! "I know almost everything there is to know about Hogwarts," he answered honestly, almost cheerfully. "Both my parents taught there until recently," ish, "and I grew up in the village nearby." For most of his time, the most interesting part of his time so far. He wondered why this other boy hated school so much. Had he been to Muggle primary school then? He must be a Muggleborn, how fascinating! David could ask him loads of questions about Muggles!

Davie had much more to add, whether goblin-boy wanted to know about Hogwarts or not, but he wasn't sure if this boy wanted to listen. "Would you rather hear what I have to say or have me write it?" he asked suddenly, with an eying of the pen. "I can tell you about the Sorting, the common rooms, the ghosts, house elves, and most of the classes... the only thing I don't know much about is quidditch." On account of it being canceled and all. "I'm David Truebridge, by the way." He still hadn't figured it this kid's name, but now he had the chance to give to Davie.

Almost everything there is to know. Almost everything. Something about this statement was somehow more believable to Daxton than those who had told him they knew everything, and obviously more helpful than those who claimed to know nothing at all. And if all that was true, about his parents and growing up in Hogsmeade (it had to be there, Daxton knew for certain that that was the village), then that meant that this boy had essentially declared himself to be very useful. Shame his parents didn't still work at the school, though... that might have come in handy.

Daxton had gone back the turning the liquorice wand over in his hands, though he was still listening closely to what the other boy was saying. He did very much want to hear about all of those things, and here he was sat with someone quite willing to share it all.

After pulling the very slightest of faces at the mention of Quidditch (that had been, he had deduced, the topic that had caused the Tate girl to commit a common assault on his notebook, but he still stood by the fact that all sports were boring and stupid), Daxton nodded at David Truebridge, and tapped his own ears to indicate that he would listen. Because he was not handing the notebook over. Not a chance. Not after Genny Tate.

... In fact, on the topic of Genny Tate, she had mentioned a boy called David. For a brief moment, Daxton wondered if this was the same one. But 'David' was a common name, at least in his normal, non-magical world, and that wasn't enough to prompt him to ask. There would be plenty of time to work it out, in any case, and ask for confirmation once he was sure.

As for his name, Daxton knew that this was the point in the conversation where he provided it. He flipped to the front of his notebook to where 'Daxton Prince' was printed neatly, and showed it to David.

Now. Information. Get on with it. He wanted to hear it all.
