Basil walked down the Ravenclaw table looking for a place to sit. He had been feeling rather lonely since arriving at Hogwarts and hoped he would make friends soon. His family was far from being a warm bunch of people, but at this point even they seemed like a much better prospect than being so unfamiliar with his surroundings.
Seeing there was an empty spot next to a girl eating cake and tea he went to sit down.

As she walked into the great hall she surveyed the room, looking for her fellow Ravens. Making her way over to the table she chose a spot in the middle.
All the food spread before her looked delicious! She grabbed a few small cakes and poured herself a cup of tea and ate quietly, looking around to see if there was anyone she recognized. Brushing a lock red hair behind her ear she took a sip of tea and choked . Sputtering she gulped down a few more mouthfuls of tea and cleared the obstruction. With a sigh of relief, she attended once again to her cake.
A little disconcerted at seeing the girl choke and not knowing if it would be proper to give her a good pat on the back Basil nervously said,
"A-are you okay?" Hoping she didn't die while he sat next to her. If she died right after he sat next to her it would give him an awful reputation. Then he would never make any friends and he would die a lonely old man. He was so preoccupied worrying about the girl dying he didn't even notice that she stopped choking until he was sure he had been staring at her for an awkwardly long period of time.
Way to go, Bas, you're off to a great start making friends, he thought to himself.
