Well, at least the Head Girl seemed a little more approachable than the Head Boy. If Brent had at least one of them on his side, he had at least something going for him. He grinned with appreciation.
"Hey, Natalia. Yeah, I do," he said.
"That's the second time somebody's recognized me from knowing my little brother." He gave a light laugh then added,
"Maybe that means I need to get out more or something." Somehow, Kane having a legacy over him didn't sound quite right.
"I'm Brent, and the little brother you met was Kane I'm guessing?" Just in case they were thinking about the wrong person, and the Head Girl hadn't actually met Kane at all.

James would like to know more about the women professors in this school. Definitely looking forward to the classes now, feels motivated all of a sudden. We'll see. James half-nodded at Brent. "Yeah probably, Wampus? Cool." He had no preference for the houses here though, just that the hat sorted him here so he took it. "Why you transfer?"
Brent followed the guy's gesture to the lady situated in the middle of the staff table. Wait just a minute. Huh?!
"Professor Hawthorne's the new Headmistress here?!" he asked. Whoooooa. Now
that was something he hadn't been expecting at all. He wondered if Kane had seen her yet. Not quite over the mild shock of seeing the new Headmistress, Brent just nodded at the boy's question about Wampus.
"My parents made me come here. I didn't actually want to," he said.
"It was a disaster and all at first." Quote:

He took a deep breath and he asked him, "Nice to meet ya Brent.." he held out his hand for him to shake. "You new to Hogwarts this term?" he said.
Brent was pretty sure he'd gotten off on the wrong foot with the Head Boy. No. Change that. He wasn't
pretty sure. He was a hundred percent sure. The boy was now eyeing him as if preparing for something big, and Brent wasn't really sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. He'd have to watch his back for sure.
Merlin.
...and then--out extended the boy's hand, and something very unexpected happened. Okay then. Brent met the handshake, managed a smile, and said,
"Nice to meet you, too." He nodded.
"Yeah. I'm a transfer from Ilvermorny. I'm a fourth year." He kind of hesitated then added,
"Congratulations on your badge."
