Henry did his best to divide his time equally between talking to friends, getting to know new housemates, and watching the sorting for even more Hufflepuffs. And yes, he was still hungry and waiting for actual food, but that seemed to not be immediately imminent anyway.

Anytime a new Hufflepuff was called out, they got a big boisterous cheer from this fifth year. And was it just him, but did there seem to be a lot of new badgers this year? That was great though, and he watched the newest boy to be sorted (Levi) head to their table. "Hey there! Welcome to Hufflepuff!" Henry greeted him with a grin.

And before he could say much more, Henry noticed another new Hufflepuff headed their way. This girl (Valerija) looked to be a little older than a first year, so Henry figured she might be transferring in and he returned the wave. "Hi," he greeted her with a smile. "I'm Henry. Welcome to Hufflepuff!"

Henry returned Kat's smile as she turned to talk to him. "Oh, sure.. it's great to see everyone again," he grinned. Of course, he tried to see friends over the summer, but he was glad to see them all the time now too. Plus another year of learning magic would be cool even if he didn't look forward to the homework. He laughed and glanced up at the staff table, answering her spoken thoughts with a nod. "Oh, I know. I'm starving. I don't know why they don't just start off with the food and then work the speech and sorting in." Though he guessed it would be kind of hard to sort students while they were eating. There was probably a better compromise but he didn't give it any more thought.

Oh, new little Hufflepuff was polite and Henry gave Simon a smile when he introduced himself. "Nice to meet you, Simon," he said, shaking the boy's offered hand. "My name's Henry. I'm in my fifth year here, so if you have any questions about anything, let me know, okay?" He remembered feeling a little overwhelmed on his first day here but Hufflepuffs were usually pretty welcoming and helpful. They stuck together.

And there was his favorite house ghost! Henry gave the Friar a big grin as he floated by their table. He always did feel weird about calling him Fat Friar... it just seemed mean, okay? Even if the ghost said he was alright with it. But he didn't know that his name was really Alfred! "Hey, Friar!" Henry greeted him with a grin. "How was your summer?" What did ghosts do all summer when students and teachers weren't around anyway?

Henry turned to the boys from Ilvermorny next. He'd have guessed they were American anyway considering their accent, now that he was talking to them. It didn't sound like Brent knew Zara, but it was cool. It was just a question, though it might have been cool for the other boy if one of his friends was already here. "Maybe I'll mention it to her and introduce you." It was just too bad she wasn't sitting right there. He glanced down the end of the table, noticing her head on the plate. Oh.. yeah, she was really tired. But he didn't think she was that tired. Anyway. "So, which part of the US are you from?" he asked Kane. "I've been there just once but I thought it was pretty cool." He liked to travel. "What do you guys think of the UK so far?" It must be tough to move to a different country and leave all your friends behind.

Henry grinned back at the newly sorted first year. "Nice to meet you too, Ambrose," he grinned back. It was nice to see someone so excited to be here and sit at the Hufflepuff table. That was the kind of badger spirit he liked to see. "Cool name. I don't think I've met another Ambrose before." Nope, he was certain of it. "I'm a fifth year, so if you need anything or have any questions, just let me know." He still remembered how homesick he sometimes got his first year and having a second family in Hufflepuff definitely helped.

While he was busy conversing with the people at the table, Henry was pretty sure he missed someone else being sorted into Hufflepuff. Because as he looked up to the staff table for any sign of the new headmistress about to start her speech, he happened to noticed a new girl (Etta) sitting all alone. And he hadn't yet welcomed her. "Hey there!" he grinned. "Welcome to Hufflepuff!" It was important to him that all the new badgers felt welcomed and excited to be a part of their house.

Eyes back to the sorting, he cheered for the next newest badger (Hazel) as she headed over to the table. But before he could say anything, she already had questions. Well, he supposed that answer would depend on exactly what kind of permission she was seeking, though Isa answered it sufficiently enough. "An older student could probably help you out too, in general, if the prefects aren't handy," he added. "Though if it's a really important, tricky question, you might need a teacher." There were certain things you had to get special staff permissions for and he pointed up to the staff table. "Oh, and welcome to Hufflepuff!" Big smile.
