As the guy sat down and spoke, Jake finally realised what the big attraction was. "Oh... my hair," he grinned slightly, going cross-eyed as he looked at the very pink tips of his hair that just about penetrated his vision. "Yeah... funny story about that. Even funnier story... if you see a real fat cat wandering the grounds this term, the exact same shade of pink as my hair... That's Professor Bunbury's cat, and the pink is my doing," he smiled cheekily, biting his tongue. "Yeah, I don't think she likes me much anymore."
As the boy, Blake, apparently, went on to introduce himself, Jake nodded as he took in the information, almost certain he'd forget the name. "Oh, I'm in my third year. Hufflepuff," he added, eyes drawn to a sudden movement by Blake's hand. Frowning a little, Jake tilted his head in confusion and looked back up. "You new, then? You said soon-to-be Slytherin? How's that work?"
Still tugging his sleeves, Blake glanced up as Jake began to tell him something about his hair being pink, a pink cat at Hogwarts and a Professor name bunny? How awkward is that? Even though he had heard llots of absurd names, a few belonged to him too -ahem- Bunny seemed like a very unlikely name for a grown-up professor, of course he hadn't seen the teacher but since they were a teacher, they are supposed to be old, "
Bunny? Did you just say Bunny?" He said raising his eyebrow as he decided to just leave his stupid sleeve alone. His lips curled into a smile once he realized that the teacher was actually a female, hmm a female professor called Bunny makes a lot more sense rather than an old mustache-y professor, eek.
Making himself a little more comfortable, Blake placed his hands at the back of his head, tapping his feet lightly on the floor of the train, "
So you're from hufflepuff? I used to call it pufflehuff but this girl I met at Diagon Alley corrected me." He let out a hearty chuckle and gazed outside the window. Ahhh, he was an idiot for not saying his goodbyes to mum and dad. Sulking a little, Blake turned his head back to where Jake was sitting, "
Super new. I expect to be sorted into Slytherin although I genuinely want to be a Hufflepuff. I heard Slytherins are mean souls but seriously I am so not like them, obnoxious a little but mean? Never." He informed the pink haired boy with great pride, he was definitely not a meany.
Blake looked at a boy from the corner of his eye who was sticking something at the door if their compartment. He looked at Jake curiously as the younger boy unstickied the poster and pocketed it after giving it a read, "
What's that about?" He asked with great interest, his blue eyes sparkled with curiosity.
