Tom was the first to come out, and as expected, a question was raised. “I’ll show you around the dungeons first, and then we go up another level.” It sounded logical, yes? He’d thank the mapping activity two terms ago, because he got a better understanding of the school now, more than ever.
That sounded good. Tom kind of wanted to bounce on the balls of his feet and pepper Ethan with all sorts of questions about what all was in the dungeon, but he remember that Will (his older brother) had always gotten kind of annoyed when he did that, so he tried to bite his tongue. He'd see it all for himself in a few minutes anyway.

Oliver came out next, and he’s got a more random question compared to Tom. “Favourite subject? That’s a toughie.” He said as he stuffed his hands inside his trousers’ pockets. “I have to say...Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. I like the logical stuff.” Those two subjects are like...puzzles itself, and he thoroughly enjoys them. “And I like the professors that handle it. Headmaster Botros, and Professor Tanner.” He said with a grin. “How about you guys? Any subjects in particular that interests you?” Maybe...Oliver would enjoy Potions...and Tom, probably Defense Against the Dark Arts. He practically jumped off of his seat when he heard about the duelling club last night.
Tom had thought a lot about this question, especially since he'd looked over his brother's shoulder when he'd been doing his schoolwork, at least as long as his brother had put up with him hovering.
"I think my favorite will probably be anything with lots of wand waving and spells, like Charms or Defense," he informed the others of his conclusions,
"but I'll probably be best at the things with more logic or precision, like Ancient Runes or Potions maybe." Quote:

His eyes widened as he noticed the other two guys who were with Ethan. They seemed to be his age but he wasn't too sure. "Oh... hey... I'm Lucas..." He gave a small wave, embarrassed now. "Am I intruding? I saw Ethan and I just wanted to say hi to him..." He shuffled his feet and sneaked a peek at Ethan.
Tom turned and looked at the other Slytherin boy approaching them. He recognized him from the feast; he was one of the unruly boys who had been banging his silverware on the table last night, making the headache Tom had already had from all the loud talking nad stress even worse. He didn't think they'd been properly introduced.
Tom really wanted to frown at the way the other kid was screaming--Ethan was
right there, he could have heard him perfectly well with an indoor voice!--but he kept his face perfectly straight so he could wait and see how Ethan reacted.

Ethan gave a salute to the newcomer as his way of saying ‘hi’ back to him. “I don’t think you are. We’re about to explore the castle. Would you like to join us?” he was sure Oliver and Tom won’t mind. Lucas is one of their bros you know...
Tom internally groaned, but on the outside he managed a small smile that he was pretty sure looked totally genuine.
"Yeah, sure, you're welcome to join us. I'm Tom by the way."
