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.

Oh. OH. Muggleborn. Instantly, Hazel understood. "That's ok! There's loads of people who won't know stuff about the school, I'm sure." Hazel, for her part, had grilled each and every adult in her life who had gone to Hogwarts about almost everything. At least the stuff that daddy didn't say 'when you're older' as an answer. "My dad went here but my papa didn't, and when dad went, he didn't know anything or anyone cause grandma Susan is a muggle." That was the simple, sanitized version. The redhead smiled kindly at the girl. "So, if you have any questions, just ask."

Spinning around on the spot towards the source of Hazel's voice and OH THERE SHE WAS!

He WAS hurrying. Merlin. It wasn't like he WANTED to take forever finding a compartment. He had been kicked out of the first one he had tried to secure prior to his trip to the food trolley by some older boy. Mum had told him how quickly the compartment could fill and she was RIGHT. But Hazel had taken care of things, like always, so appreciative bouncing was happening as he made his way down the corridor...passing by a girl with REALLY REALLY NEAT HAIR. It reminded him a little of Emma's hair...which sparked an IDEA in the 11-year-old's mind and he HOPED that Hogwarts housed a variety of magical birds so he could test theory.

"ON MY WAY!"

Because he needed to "hurry" and get to Hazel and... "Charlie?" he repeated, bit of a stutter bounce as he processed. "OKAY!" Since he needed to and all.

Pulling the chocolate frogs from his pocket, Derf spun himself into the compartment and immediately flopped down comfortably into a seat. "As-s-s long as-s you don't mind my keeping fe card...I haff chocolate frogs," he grinned, presenting the duo with the humble sampling he had purchased from the trolley. "Hi. I'm Derfael. But mos-st people call me Derf...s-so you s-should too," he introduced himself to the other girl - CHARLIE - as a bit of an afterthought. "Oh!" he chirped, chocolate frogs being abandoned on the seat for now so he could reach into his pocket and pull out his pet warty newt. "...and fis is Scamander."

Yay! Derf was here and he was introducing himself and oooo, chocolate. "I've got cookies," she said in response, holding out the bag. Hazel knew all about the trolley sweets but.. well.. she'd never have told Noah this, but she was sad to be leaving them all at home, so she'd asked special for them to make her cookies for the trip. A little taste of home before she went away.

But that mushy stuff was for later. Scamander was out! Hazel beamed at the bestie's pet and immediately asked the most important question on her young mind. "Your dad did the anti-squish charm on your pocket for him, right?"
No reliving the tree-falling, newt-near-death fear for her, thanks.
