Alice instantly felt her cheeks flush slightly at the somewhat irritated vibe she got from Mr. Stryker when he confirmed he was the new groundskeeper. Thinking back it was a bit obvious that he was the new groundskeeper, and perhaps there was a better way that Alice could have started a friendly conversation with him.
"Well...welcome to Hogwarts," Alice concluded lamely, rolling the baseball in her hand nervously.
