Hugo looked up at the nice girl introducing herself. He shook her hand and once he let go, he spoke. "I'm Hugo," he said and smiled a bit shyly. "Third yea Ravenclaw," he said as he inspected her. "I haven't seen you around before, are you new?" he asked. Transfers were a normal thing, apperently.

"Oh, hey Kyle," Hugo said and shot her a quick smile. "Yeah she does, I think she was a Ravenclaw," he said. The lady was glancing at his table and speaking to Vindictus, who was rather confused about something. Maybe she told him about one of the muggle sports, which made Hugo confused too sometimes. Like that one sport, with teams only consisting of beaters and they have to beat a tiny, non-magical bludger somewhere. It was very confusing.

"Sure does," he replied, chugging the last of his pumpkin juice. "I have no idea. I don't know the guy that well, because I wansn't invited to that ministry party," he said and remembered the only time in his life he was actually quite jealous. But it seemed he hadn't missed anything. "I dunno but something about that bloke being the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher doesn't feel right. Our lessons are going to be boring and he'll probably run off in the middle of the lesson to do some important ministry stuff," he said and rolled his eyes. "So what is this about the ship in the black lake?" he asked. He was quite interested and maybe Kyle knew more about it.

Hugo glanced at the quiet firstie across from him eating her food. He smiled at her friendly. "Hi there," he said. "Welcome to Ravenclaw! I'm Hugo, third year," he said and extended his arm for her to shake.
