Henry often thought the guy had a thing against his house and head of house that he sometimes had a hard time getting past. But he never let that influence his drive to take to the skies.

He was curious if this new guy had a different kind of approach or just what he was about in general. Of course, it was possible that he might not see eye to eye with this one either, but Henry wanted to make a good impression and find out! On one relatively sunny day during the first week back, Henry headed outside and towards the new groundskeeper hut. It looked mostly the same except for a few curious additions that distracted the boy for a few minutes before giving the door a good knock. Hopefully he was in, so he could say hello! What was his name, again?


Haraldur Baldvinsson had a lot to do. A. LOT. The older students were fine but the younger ones... They were just everywhere. They were exploring and they were tiny. So tiny he was afraid to accidently step on one of them. But so far there were no crushed students on his watch.

The summer weather was still an annoyance to him though, so he usually went about his business early morning and in the evenings. (Which meant a lot of spying out through his window to keep the students from "exploring" the Forbidden Forest).

He was just about to take a nap read up on Hogwarts' history when a knock on the door startled him. Haraldur shuffled up to the door and opened it cautiously (praying it wasn't the Headmistress for an interrogation). The groundskeeper's eyes fell on the young boy outside his hut. He had a badge on his robes which meant he was one of those... One of those... One of those. If the old man squinted, he could make out the yellow colors. That was the herbology professor's house! A Puffeluff student.

"AH!" He exlaimed in surprise and opened his door wider. "A student! Well, don't just stand there boy, come in, come in you're letting all the heat in!" And that muggle fan he'd borrowed was really not doing a proper job in keeping the hut cool enough. He waved one arm urgently for the badged student to step inside. "Go on!" In you go.
