Aghhhh! This was glorious! So many people were talking to Aaron, it was hard for the boy to keep up with all the conversations happening! SO many people greeting him, and they all get their own individual smile, head nod, and possibly even a wave if they were lucky enough. The only one individual that got a slight tilted head was the male prefect who didn't introduce himself (Flynn), but even with the look that was given to the first year, he just smiled and said "Hi! I'm Aaron. I don't think we've met before. What's your name?"
Attention being reverted back to the Quidditch Captain, Skylar, he replied to her response with "Yep! You will certainly be seeing me at the tryouts for the team." Then she had mentioned about selling her one broom and then inquired if the boy has ever flown before. "I would take you up on the offer, but I already have two brooms at home. And yes, back at my family's estate, we have a small Quidditch field." It wasn't big. But...it was there and it was decent sized. And now was the part of shock and awe about his family having a Quidditch field at the estate. The boy had gotten used to a lot of those types of questions growing up. 'Whoa! You're house is that big?' 'Doesn't it get lonely?' 'You're really that rich, how do you have that much money?' Etc, etc, etc.
A huge smile was given in the direction of the female Prefect, Vivian. She seemed really nice at least (unlike her male counter part, buuuuuuutttttt). "Yes! Aaron, that's meeeeeee!!!!" Laughing with a lot of energy, the boy was really excited to meet so many new people. And that's when...he got the sudden urge to do something bold. Something grand. He wanted the whole house to know who he was, no. The whole school for that fact!
Standing triumphantly on the bench in which he had been previously seated, Aaron placed his fists on his hips like that really cool super hero pose that is shown in basically every super hero movie in the history of man. Proudly and courageously, he stated with great exultation "Hello fellow Slytherins! And those who are not Slytherins-" A brief look was given in the one person's general vicinity. "-I am the great, wonderful, magnificent, friendly, adventurous, and noble, Aaron Ambrose Lyn-Valentino!" This is where the stereotypical sparks would shoot out of nowhere, but that didn't happen...this time at least. "This year we will go on many adventures and explore many things! And we shall also win the House Cup!!!" Insert applause from at least one person, please? He did all that work on a motivational speech, hopefully at least one person would give him that.
