"Maybe it was to keep us feeling connected to the nearby towns and villages. Hogwarts can feel kind of... isolated sometimes." Even with the occasional trips to Hogsmeade, it was still just the students and faculty for many months together within the castle and the grounds. Not that he minded, given the most recent visitations had provided nothing but trouble.
"Nice to meet you, Johnny. Where did you transfer from?" He packed away his pencils, merely so as not to be rude whilst engaging in conversation with a peer. "I was there but the feast can be... chaotic. And I've often found unless you're specifically looking for someone, it's easy to overlook everyone else. Outside of your own house anyways. I'm over in Ravenclaw. You?"
”I feel that.” Johnny had been feeling isolated, sure he had met new people and classes just starting and all but it wasn’t really what he had expected. He had set the bar of expectations really high that lack of interest had set in. Perhaps it was part homesickness as this was the first time in his life he was far from home.
”Do you come up here often?”
Johnny smiled and nodded in response.
”Homeschool.” His grandmother had a homeschooling system which he was enrolled in until he felt comfortable transferring to Hogwarts. Moving to the side, he didn’t mean to eavesdrop on him.
”Chaotic indeed.” He chuckled. At Gryffindor table there was a bit of drama with a disgruntled student over the annoyance of another.
”I have a cousin in Slytherin who I’ve not met up with yet.” John did intend to at least speak to his cousin during the feast but with so much going on it really slipped his mind.
”Brilliant! I’m Gryffindor.” He grinned proudly!
”Are you an artist?...Not that I was purposely eavesdropping.” He asked in regards to sketches.
