Anyway, Aaron had forgotten about attaching the Prefect pin to his clothes, and still hadn't done so as he approached the Hufflepuff table. Actually, it wasn't until he caught sight of Archer's that he remember and quickly dug the small bit of metal from his trouser pocket. With a grimace, he carefully pinned it to a spot where it would be most visible and took a seat...

He felt a bit ridiculous... Hopefully this went okay.

The Hufflepuff table had Aaron's immediate attention, but Archer shouting about Colin MacKenzie.... had his head snapping to the head table where several new faces sat. Colin's... Professor MacKenzie?, was among them. Wow, they were getting some really experienced, seasoned flying instructors as of late (or, at least, Aaron was assuming that was the position he'd been given). And the Botros wasn't as starstruck since.. the guy had managed Hassan's team for ages. Some of the awe wore off after awhile, you know?

.... Oh... and there was also a Centaur at the staff table.... Ahem, Aaron would reign in his excitement over that for now... but later... Yes, later.

Anyway.... "Hey guys!" He offered warm, open smiles to everyone present (Daisy, Archer, Maxie, Kamryn, Eniola, Sebastian), but mainly Maxie, and winked. "Max, how was your summer?"
Maxie never knew how to feel when people he didn't consider friends spoke to him. His mother had often chastised him for ignoring other, calling the his reaction rude among other things. But he just never felt comfortable enough to really speak around people he hadn't yet decided to trust. What if they made fun of him immediately- or worst yet, were polite to his face and teased him behind his back? He'd had enough of his fair share of both for a lifetime. So, Maxie struck a happy (in his opinion) medium. He nodded to each and every greeting sent his way, whether it was from someone he had already met ( Kameron, Sebastian) or someone new (Eniola, Aurora), they all recieved that same nod of hello.

There. Unrude. He'd unruded himself. He was just going to watch the staff table until the food came and then hurry on up stairs- as planned- and celebrate his birthday in peace.

Aaron. A good face. A welcome face. His teammate (for whether they got back onto the team or not they had held victory together). Maxie smiled as soon as he saw the older boy. "P-Prefect." He said, the word slipping past his lips before the Hufflepuff even began to soak in the information. "y-y-you're prefect." Maxie's nose was turning red -for a number of reasons, but mostly for the fact that he'd jumped in without asnwering Aaron's question. "I-it was g-good. I read a lot." and practiced his speech therapy a lot.
