She probably shouldn't be judging him, seeing as she, too, was a first year and nervous in her own unique way.

"Psst," she said, and gestured him in. "There's an empty seat here." For him and the bear. "And yes, this is History of Magic." Her voice was just above a whisper, so she kind of thought if she acted fast, she might could spare him the embarrassment. Although, she had a feeling if the professor looked up and saw how late the boy was, he might not be so forgiving. Anyway...it was now or never. She wasn't going to beg him.

A girl pssted at him, and motioned to an empty seat. Aiden looked at it. Was she just telling him about it? Or did it mean...she wanted him to sit there? Aiden started to walk towards it.

Then the professor saw him. The man looked at Aiden and said that because he was late, he had lost five house points. Aiden stared up and nodded meekly and slinked down into the chair the girl had pointed him to.

Five house points lost. Five whole points. Everybody in Hufflepuff was gonna be so mad at him. He slunk down into the chair next to the other girl (Delilah) and sniffled, hanging his head, not wanting to cry on the first day. He hadn't MEANT to be late. He'd gotten lost.

Aiden looked up at the words on the board, but he didn't know even ONE of them. He looked up squinting, trying to sound them out, like he was supposed to do if he had an unfamiliar word in a book. But none of them made any sense. Well ok just ONE. He knew Hogwarts. That was his school. But the others didn't even LOOK like words. It was like everybody was speaking a different language. Aiden felt the homesick feeling again and was SURE he was gonna cry.

But hey, he knew that boy. It was the boy with the piece of paper (no, parchment!) and no shoes that he had met once in Diagon Alley (Milo). Aiden wanted to go say hi to him but he wasn't allowed to talk in class if he wasn't supposed to, he knew that, so he had to go talk to the boy after. Seeing a familiar face though distracted Aiden and made the cry feeling go away. Then he got even more distracted by something very confusing.

The Hufflepuffs are plotting

Huh? AIDEN was a Hufflepuff. So he was talking about Aiden too. But why were the Hufflepuffs plotting? And what did plotting mean?

"Excuse me," he whispered to the girl (Delilah) next to him. "What's plotting?"

There was LOTS of things the other kids were saying that he didn't understand (except it sounded like the words on the board that he didn't know how to read were other schools) but this seemed like the most important thing to find out first because HE was a Hufflepuff.
