It wasn’t long, however, before she realized all of the first year students were being separated off. She supposed this made sense; her father had mentioned something about a sorting ceremony, and why not make absolutely sure the first years were overwhelmed by parading them in front of all the other students?
For the time being, however, there was still plenty of exuberance on display around her… perhaps a little too much, actually. She eyed the rushing boy with the helmet, deciding that it would be in everyone’s best interest to slow him down before he rushed right into the water. Around the time she reached him, however, he appeared frozen on the spot. How irritating.
Still, now that she was standing there she felt it would be awkward if she didn’t offer some sort of conversation. So she asked him, “Do you wear that on your head because you tend to collide with things? Or are you horrendously disfigured?”
Perhaps he had massively distended jaw bones. Thinking this, she linked her fingers behind her back and leaned over to see up into the helmet. Matt was feeling sick now. Was he going to puke? Merlin knew. The only think Matt himself knew right now was that he wasn't feeling well at all and that he did not feel comfortable going on those tiny little boats to cross that MASSIVE dark lake. He wanted to ask the groundskeeper if there was another way to get to the castle, but most of the kids were really excited about those silly boats and some of them were even jumping onto them already and shouting things excitedly and all of that fun stuff!
Fun if it weren't for the boats going on the lake.
Matt was actually startled - something that rarely ever happened to him - when someone spoke to him. It took him a few seconds to understand what the girl was asking. "Oh, no. This is my stormtrooper helmet." He explained, not sounding as enthusiastic as he normally would - especially when talking about Star Wars. Her next question made him veeeryyyy confused and he gave her a LOOK. She couldn't see the look, of course, because of the helmet. "No?? I'm not disfigured, what???" WHAT even?? "Who even are you?" Like, HUH??
And were those kids calling them DANGEROUS boats the MILLENNIUM FALCON??? "How rude!!"
