 Everybody! Hello friends! Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Even with the sweets he had on the train, Henry was starving and more than ready for the feast. But he knew how these things went. An eternity would pass before the speech, then they would finally get to eat. His eyes drifted to the head table, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, before returning his attention to his own table. While he waited, he could do his other favorite things at the feast - talk to his friends and watch the sorting for new Hufflepuffs.
"Hey, Kat," he grinned at the girl sitting not far him as she seemed to be watching sorting too. He had just seen her on the train and already ate the candy she gave him, so he wouldn't ask her how summer was. Especially as he had seen her a couple times over the holiday as well. "Happy to be back?" Probably the second most asked question after how was your summer, but it worked as a conversation starter.
He gave a wave to Hattie and noticed Noah's little sister.. what was her name? Skylar? Yes, Henry thought so and she got a grin as well. "Hey, girls... how was summer?" He was pretty sure he saw them at one of the U17 games over summer, but he didn't always have time to talk afterwards so he couldn't be too sure. But it seemed likely.
He noticed a couple of the second years, Isa and Kimi, in the middle of conversation as well. The fifteen year old did not know either of them all that well, but they both got cheerful waves. It was good to see them back as well as he thought all his fellow Hufflepuffs were great. Oh! And first new Hufflepuff to be sorted! Henry cheered for Lizzie as she headed for their table. "Hi! Welcome to Hufflepuff! I'm Henry," he said with a grin.
More new Hufflepuffs! Awesome! Ambrose and Kane both got cheers from the fifth year when they were deemed badgers as well and made their way over to the house table. "Hey, guys! Welcome to Hufflepuff! I'm Henry." Could they tell how excited he was that they were there? He was always happy for more housemates. Hufflepuff was the best!
Oh but Kane wasn't a first year? He couldn't help but overhear the conversation when his brother, Brent came over as well. "Oh, you guys are from Ilvermorny? That's cool. My friend Zara transferred here from there last year. Maybe you know her? She's a fifth year like me." Where was Zara anyway? He lost track of her after the train. "Anyway, I'm Henry. Welcome to Hogwarts," he grinned.
He looked back up at the sorting momentarily but turned back to the table when he heard someone saying hello to everyone. "Oh, hey, Carl." He sent a wave and smile in the fourth year's direction. "Have a good summer?" He certainly did. And Henry's eyes snapped up again as he heard the sorting hat call out a Hufflepuff. Oh, another badger? Henry cheered for the boy (Simon) as he made his way over, even if the kid looked rather preoccupied. "Hey there! Welcome to Hufflepuff," he grinned. New housemates were always a great thing.
