Austin clapped and cheered with the rest of his house as the students joined their respective tables. He cheered the loudest for those joining his own, though. And even louder still when he found that his new friend from the train would be joining the 'Claws. Blue and silver were sure to be his colors. "HeyJasper," He called out when the first year sat near him. "Welcome to the best house around." He gave a small chuckle. Whether or not that was true, it was something Austin believed. This house has gotten him far in his life, and will sure to do the same for Jasper.

Once things had settled down, he watched as the ghosts flew in. One in particular joined their table. The Grey Lady. He smiled when she mentioned his name. "Thank you, ma'am. I'm looking forward to what this year will bring." He remembered how last term had a breakfast feast outside, with games throughout the year. He hoped this year would have just as much fun in store.

The teen was enjoying this year already. He was opening up, making friends, and even laughing with his house mates. Before the food was put on the table, he had made two new friends, and spoken to The Grey Lady. It was amazing to see how hard he was trying to be a more social person.
