He was glad the girl had chosen to stay, and again, the thought entered his head that he didn't want to be rude to anyone. And that meant anyone at all. "So, Pyralis," he said, "what year are you in?" He was already pretty sure she was older, but he could never be sure. As he waited for an answer, he thought about all the people that he met in Diagon Alley, and wondered if he would see any of them on the train, there was on in particular that he wanted to see, but he hadn't run into her since Gringotts.



He couldn't remember if she had said something about a place in Australia, but that was pretty cool. He did though remember about a CD. "Heyy," he said, "did you bring a copy of you're music with you?" He asked her. "I'd really like to hear it," he said with a smile.
