"It is pretty cool isn't it? No one really knows what it's purpose was." It's not like it showed the particulars of inside the castle like the Maradauers map - which was probably a good thing. "But it's still fascinating. The look of it changes each season too. And at night." The boy was actually not someone he recognized, which came as a surprise to Evan. He'd been busy at the feast so he hadn't noticed the incoming transfers. Had he, perhaps he wouldn't have needed to ask his next question. "Are you new to Hogwarts? I don't think I've seen you around."
John curiously peeked over the young artist to glance over at the drawing.
”So it’s just decorative?” A genuine question. His grandfather Xavier and grandmother Ursula had cool magical artifacts at their manor that Johnny would find himself intrigued by, simply by being magical.
”Oh, well that makes more sense.” Sounded similar to a muggle seasonal live wallpaper on phones or like a clock of sorts.
The feast was a bit chaotic to say the least but he did meet interesting people and acquainted himself with his fellow housemates. Not many though.
”I am. I’m Johnny.” He smiled, politely offering his hand to shake.
”I don’t recall seeing you at the feast?” To be fair he had a major food coma right after and everything after stuffing his face with food is fussy in his brain.
