It will give me something positive to look forward to at the end of the year," he added with a small chuckle.
"Alright. So you can add your name next to mine at the end of the term," she said, smirking and holding up her quill once again. She shoved the quill back into her pocket and then turned to admire her handiwork. It was a thousand wonders she hadn't already gotten into trouble for it. If someone happened to see it later on, she could always do what she usually did in situations such as this one---
blame Dominic Denton. Anna looked back at Cale and sighed softly. No matter how many times he feed her the "Let's not think about that right now" line, she still got a little upset when she thought about him leaving school in one more year.

My parents made a special trip to the Muggle bookstore in London to get them for me. Do you like books?
I like Hogwarts alright, but it is distracting with so many people to pay attention to. I like it better when I can talk to people in small groups. It is a lot easier to read their lips."
Sylvan paused and licked his lips nervously before continuing.
"I guess I should probably tell you that I am deaf. I didn't mean to be rude earlier, but I didn't hear you talk to me. My house-elf Babsey usually is with me to help interpret, but my mom is having a baby, so needed Babsey at home. Don't tell anyone right now, okay? I'd like to seem as normal as possible before people start staring at me weirdly."
When he had finished writing his note, Sylvan folded it over and passed it back to Nate.
After he had replied to Nate's note, Sylvan turned back to his dinner while he waited for a response. All of a sudden, a ghost slid into view above the table. Sylvan was speechless. He had never seen a ghost before. His mouth dropped open in shock, and he wordlessly turned to Nate and pounded him hard on the arm to get his attention. He pointed up at the ghost in amazement.
Anna watched as the extremely quiet boy she'd met earlier passed notes back and forth with another Gryffindor. She decided that now was just as good of a time as ever to point blank ask the boy what was going on. Anna scooted closer down the table, so that she was near the boy. "Excuse me? Is something wrong?" she asked. She hoped she didn't sound rude, but she couldn't help but feel like something was a bit different about this boy. Just in case she came across rudely, Anna smiled warmly to show that she really meant well.

Anna knew Hannah was a really nice girl, so if Zeke was related to her, Anna imagined him to be a pretty cool kid, as well. He also seemed to be getting along well with the other Gryffindors, so hopefully he'd prove to be an asset to the house.

Perhaps if all went well, she can meet Melly again, she said she was in Ravenclaw, so that was the... blue and copper table? Hmm.
As Anna spoke with Zeke, she looked over to see a small, fragile-looking girl approach the table. Anna had never met her before, so the girl must either be a first year or a young transfer. Either way, the girl appeared to be a bit afraid or shy, so Anna turned to her with a warm smile. "Hey there," she greeted. "I'm Anna Greingoth, the female house prefect. What's your name?"
