"I'm not going to call you Dalt because that sounds like dolt, and so far you don't seem stupid at all!" Char pointed out cheerfully. She swung her legs down from the seat and rearranged herself entirely, crossing them and swinging the one foot jauntily.
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy would he expect to forget her? "Nobody does." She informed him equably. She was too loud to be forgotten. Too loud. Too... Charlotte.
"Gryffindor!" And she didn't even point out that the hat SHOULD have put her in Ravenclaw, because it turned out she kind of LIKED Gryffindor after all. "My cousin was in Slytherin last term! He came from Durmstrang on an exchange! Bastien Toussaint!" Did he know Bast? Probably at least knew OF him. Char didn't mention Katy also being in Slytherin but that was only because Katy was just a second year, so probably Dalton would be clueless.
Boys often were.
Dalt sounded like... dolt? Considering it, he realised it was true, and raised an eyebrow slightly. "That's... nice of you to say." Of course, it also felt odd - not because it wasn't true, but because he wasn't used to
anyone complimenting him, let alone people who were practically strangers. "Thanks."
Raising an eyebrow at Charlotte's next comment, Dalton let out a small chuckle. "Oh, is that so?" He couldn't help but wonder if Char would
prove herself to be unforgettable, and something told him she would. Was that a good thing? He couldn't yet decide.
Gosh, she was enthusiastic about her house, wasn't she? It wasn't surprising, but her next comment threw him off guard. Bastien was her cousin. Oh. Right. Well, it would be rude to think badly of him because he didn't technically know him, so Dalton wouldn't. "I know of him. I mean, I'm... friends with his girlfriend." Kelly and him were friends, right? Right. He thought so, at least. That was all he said, though, because he wasn't planning on dismantling and working out his feelings for Kelly with this person he'd known for all of five minutes. Because there weren't feelings there. Nope.
"Do you know Tim Kyle?"
