"Has anyone in your family gone to Hogwarts before?" she asked, in response to Charlie's statement about her being on top of things. Maybe the girl hadn't had anyone to prepare her. Sad. Hopping onto the seat she chose, she dug out a cookie for herself and nommed it thoughtfully. Everyone Hazel knew so far had some connection to the place. She was about to say something else when.....

...she heard the unmistakeable warble of her best friend. A grin splitting her face near in two, she leapt up and stuck her head into the corridor. "DERF!! OVER HERE!" Best friend, best friend, train ride with the best friend!

She turned her head back to Charlie. "That's Derfael. You'll like him loads." At least, she hoped so. All of her friends needed to be friends. She wouldn't know how to function.

"Hurry up!" she called back into the hall. "You need to meet Charlie!"

"Oh, well, no. I'm a muggleborn, so... I'm sorta new to all of this." She shrugged, feeling her face heat up a little bit. There wasn't really anything Charlie had to be embarrassed about, but being at an obvious disadvantage compared to a large chunk of her peers wasn't the most comforting fact. She'd always been towards the top of her class at her muggle primary school, but who's to say that pattern would continue at Hogwarts? All of the others probably went to special wizarding primary schools, and even if they didn't, they'd have had a head start simply with how long they'd been exposed to magic. Well, no matter. She'd just have to put more work into studying outside of class.

Charlie jumped out of her seat a little bit when Hazel yelled into the hallway for a Derf. What was a Derf? Or perhaps the better question would be who. She found out the answer when told so, and she nodded in reply. This Derf was Derfael for full, a he, and someone she would apparently like loads. Well, if Hazel thought so, Charlie didn't think he would be too hard to like. Of course, though, she would need to really meet him before a true opinion was made, which she figured she'd be doing shortly.
