"Hello," she greeted them in a shy little voice.
Hmm. He'd seen this girl get Sorted, obviously, but he couldn't remember her name. His stomach had given several loud grumblings that had been distracting, much less trying to hear an old hat over the noise. "
Hello, there. I'm Finnlay Muir. Everyone calls me Finn." Meaning she could as well. "
First year, huh? Nothing to be scared about, really. It's just school." Never mind the several hundred pubescent hormone-bombs with a magic wand that roam the corridors on a daily basis.

If that had thrown her off she perked up again in seconds, beaming at everyone. Particularly the two that she didn't know because now she had to introduce herself to them! "I'm Shera, it's nice to meet you!"
Wow, this one could pack away the food! They had just had a feast, after all. He was super impressed, as teenage boys tend to be about such things. "
We can fix that. I'm Finnlay Muir, Finn for short. Welcome to the flock, Shera."

Didn't change the fact they'd have to be up early to start their education. Merlin there needed to be a grace period. Good thing she'd already covered this year's syllabus because her brain would need at least a week to get back into this structured learning thing and by then she'd have otherwise missed a lot.
"Here's to hoping it's potions or something else lower in the castle. I don't think I can handle going down for breakfast to climb all the way back up for something like Divination or Ancient Runes." Consider her body still in summer mode. During the summer, there were definitely not this many stairs.
Finn was both in total agreement and total disagreement with Jessa. And he'd noticed that phenomenon happened quite frequently for her. The disagreement? "
Nah, I'm excited. I don't get any connection with magic over the summer, yeah? So.." The life of a muggleborn. His parents tried, they really did; but it wasn't their fault, they just simply couldn't relate.
"
But totally with you on the schedule." It would be the exact same as hers most likely - same year, same house. He was fairly certain they were going for all the same O.W.L.s, too. Now his home in Scotland was literally in the middle of a bunch of hills, so his motivation was not the same. "
Frankly I just don't want to get up any earlier than I have to." Spoken like a true teenage boy.
