So, We've Returned Again

Leo grinned at the question. She looked down to her feet, clopping the heels together. "I don't know... Daddy was a Gryffindor - that's why my name is 'Leo,' as in 'lion,' you know. Mummy said I'm just like him when he was little, too."

She looked up to Cecilie, "I'm not very brave, though. I... well, I really don't know where I fit in."

"Then perhaps you shall end up in Hufflepuff then," Jonathan muttered the suggestion. "You seem just as happy go lucky like the rest of their lot.". There he goes again with giving people the cold shoulder as usual. Jonathan released a small sigh before turning to look out the window.

He could spot the magnificent Hogwarts castle just in the distance from where the train was. He pulled on a faint smile then stood up to his feet. He opened and searched his trunk for a bit then found his Ravenclaw robe and pulled onto him carefully. "We're here," he announced, though his back was still turned towards the girls.

"It's beautiful," Leo said, turning away from Jonathan. She frowned, wondering if the boy was alright. He seemed dismissive; cold, even.

"I think Hogwarts is the most beautiful building I've ever seen," she commented. "And I've been to Notre Dame." She chuckled. "That was a joke," she said, feeling silly. Oh, of course Leo would embarrass herself - and to the first people she met, too.

"Hmmm," Jonathan muttered. "The Hogwarts castle reminds me of a larger version of Hohensalzburg castle from my home country." His smiled grew as the memories of home filled his thoughts. "I am originally from Austria," he explained. "I moved to London to live with my father in order to attend Hogwarts; I've been here for awhile so that's why my accent has faded mostly."

Jonathan pulled out the rest of his uniform from his trunk and changed into it, though he made sure to cover himself extra carefully with his robe for the girls' sake. He kept his back towards them in a respectful manner. "Just let me know when your done," he muttered awkwardly.
