He answered. Yaya never did want to leave Scotland, so she raised her grandson there.
Matthew leaned his head to the side slightly. "What year are you?" He asked. Am I being too forward? He asked himself as he knitted his eyebrows together. Downfall to being secluded for so many years was his lack of sociability and understanding of whether or not he was being overbearing. "Nah, nevermind. You don't have to answer that." He waved his hand as if he was shooing the question away.
"Bonza, you're a local then!" Scotland and all. Even if he was from the other side of the country, it was still local enough in Bel's eyes. She'd been about to answer his question when he hit her with the nevermind and Bel just grinned, "Nah? Its all good. I'm sixth year this year." Why wouldn't she answer that? It was a normal kind of question wasn't it? As if to prove it, she added, "How about you?" SPOILER!!: lil Maxie Quote:

Hogwarts. Loud, dangerous and big. So big. Bigger than Maxie had ever imagined. He swallowed audibly, his large eyes moving from the enchanted ceiling to the golden cutlery on his table and then finally on the people around him. Most of the younger ones seemed excited and comfortable despite being as new (and damp) as himself. He huddled into himself, arms wrapping tightly around his thin chest for protection and warmth. It wasn't nearly as cold in here as it had been outside but Maxie was still a-shiver, almost stubbornly so - as if he were determined to be not only emotionally unhappy but physically as well.
Quietly, the newly-christened Hufflepuff watched the table and the conversations flowing back and forth. Part of him wanted to speak up and join in - they all looked friendly enough - but the rest of him wanted nothing more than to sit here in his chair and sulk until the food was served. Another new 'puff! Bel clapped the sorting and then when the kid sat down she offered him a big cheerful grin and a wave. Was he okay? He looked a little bit... not so okay.
"Hello! Great to have you with us! I'm Bel." SPOILER!!: Mary Quote:

She looked up at both the people, suddenly wishing she was back on the train with Ronan. As hyper as he was, he had made it super easy to talk to him. "Thanks, I feel welcomed." Crap. That sounded so awkward. "Well that's good that ya do, because you are! Welcome that is. Don't mean to interrupt your reading if that's what you'd rather do though! But you do only get one first ever feast at Hogwarts." Bel said with her usual casually friendly ease. SPOILER!!: Penny Quote:

Penny Lane Goodman was definitely a loser. And her slight growth spurt had done nothing for her confidence, honestly. So yeah... she was more comfortable down here by herself.
HOWEVER, it did not keep her from offering friendly smiles toward her housemates (and a few awkward finger waves). She had manners, just not much in the way of social skills. Anyone who had spent any amount of time around her knew that, of course.
After getting settled she felt her eyes wander toward the Ravenclaw table in search of her boyfriend. HER BOYFRIEND! It still blew her mind. Perhaps the boyfie would find his way over in a bit? It wasn't like she had gotten enough attention on the train. Bel offered Penny a cheerful and welcoming smile and fingerwave herself, but she wasn't about to put any pressure on the girl to try and join in or anything like that if she didn't want to- she was here and that was good enough! SPOILER!!: Daisy Quote:

As she sat down, she saw Penny and smiled at her, giving her a friendly wave. She also gave a friendly smile and wave to everyone else at the table. "Hey Daisy!" Obviously Bel would greet her dormmate, though she had seen her on the train. They'd be able to catch up later in the dorm - after Daisy did all her prefect-y things and all that. SPOILER!!: Archer Quote:

Moreover, said uniform was wrinkle-free. That's not to say that she didn't prefer her other clothes, she totally did. She just didn't see any need to rage against the machine now that Scrimgeour was gone.
"Hey everyone!" was her greeting to the table at large as she, of course, threw (not literally) in the midst of the biggest crowd at the table. Jeez, there were a lot of quiet ones this year. "It's always the quiet ones you have to look out for..." she half-whispered jokingly as she took a seat on the bench. "G'day Archer!" Bel said when the younger girl sat down, and then she chuckled at her little joke. True enough about the quiet ones! "I like the quiet ones." Bel offered to the table in general. Well you had to have a balance didn't ya? Not that she was loud herself exactly, but she never had any issues speaking up in social situations that was for sure.
Now, where was D? Bel looked around to see if she could spot Derfael arriving yet. She was saving him a spot.
