That of course was her opinion to have and his opinion to reject until proven as such. Oh joy.. She was inviting him to join her friend down the table a bit.. That was very Hufflepuff of her..
It took him a moment to think on it before lifting himself from his place and going to join them. He didn't want enemies in his own house. That wouldn't make for finding good study partners in a pinch if he needed one. So, he plastered his best, most polite and cheerful smile and made his way over to them. " Hi, Emmalyn.. Thanks.. ", he said in a friendly tone as he sat down beside her. " How was the rest of your summer?... Oh!.. Silly me.. Hello. I'm Reese.. ", he asked before realizing he hadn't greeted her friend she was talking to when he walked up to join them.
She beamed as her new friend came over. He still looked off, but she didn't want to push him too much. Maybe the sorting had been a bit overwhelming...
"My summer was great! How about yours? Aren't you just the most excited right now? I loved my first feast!" She paused, more so to take a breath over giving poor Reese a chance to answer.
In her pause, she had a moment to glance around and noticed an older, unfamiliar, student take a seat at the table.
"Hi!" She greeted the newcomer. She was certain she had never met the
older girl before and hoped she would make a great addition to the house.
"Welcome to Hufflepuff! Are you a transfer student?" She really hoped she was, not that she had somehow completely forgotten the girl over the summer. Emmalyn knew she was horrible with names, but she rarely forgot a face.
