"I can't wait to explore it!" he said, grinning up at the girl, "If it's as good as it sounds, i'm sure i'll love it as well." As for the whole making friends thing... he had met Adeline and Asher and now, Louisa... but none of them would be as close as Anya was. But before Alec could go off on his train of thought, Louisa said something that seemed to lighten his mood. "Really? You'd help me?" he repeated, "I'd like that!" That is, if Louisa didn't mind an eleven year old tagging along and bugging her about this that and the other.
Alec blinked, impressed with the girl's summer. "That must have been a really fun summer!" Especially seeing as she went with her friends. "Mine was pretty... normal," he started, "Apart from the visit from this weird man from the Ministry. That wasn't normal at all." Coming home to find a weird man telling you that you're magical is the kind of thing pranks were made of.
"Oh!" Alec said, feeling slightly uncomfortable for Louisa and a bit for himself. So magical people can't get through the wall. That was something new. "What if they're with someone who's magical? Then can they get through the wall?" he asked, blinking at Louisa. She was smart, she should know, shouldn't she?

Claudia wondered about that too. She never did before because everyone in her family were either full blood or mixed blood magical. She sighed. She did miss her family a lot. She wondered whether she'd ever fit in into this new school. It sure looked like the younger boy was doing a lot better than her in making friends. Claudia smiled whimsically and then decided that had to step up and introduce herself or she'd definitely be without friends if she waited for others to do the same.
So she walked up to the older girl and the younger boy and said, "Hi there I'm really sorry for interrupting but I happened to hear you talking about showing him around the school. I'm a third year but this is the first time I'm going to Hogwarts. Would it be okay if I tagged along too when you show him around later?" Claudia asked the older girl.
Of course she had to help the kid now, her stupid tongue slipped, didn't it? Hmph. The girl gave a small smile, "
I can help you the first week. Show you where your classes are. Where the lake is and how far it is safe to get near the Whomping Willow." There were a dozen other things to show the boy but Louisa didn't want him to be overwhelmed. Not before he went on the train anyway. Hehehe.
That weird visit from the man? Louisa pondered it for a moment before getting what he meant. She chuckled, "
That must've been funny." Really, she was curious to be in the situation. Her envelope arrived traditionally since her father was a wizard and her mother knew of magic. Too bad the headmaster didn't know of her father's lousiness and commitment issues. Heh.
...another question. A hard one, too. Louisa looked back at the wall that was still producing people and puzzled kids. She frowned a bit before answering, "
I think... they're accompanied by an adult that could apparate them directly in here. I don't really know. We should investigate this from a professor." She gave the younger boy the biggest smile she'd given so far.
Then, someone approached and went on talking without taking a breath. A girl that seemed quite nervous. Louisa eyed her and shrugged one shoulder, "
It's fine." No, Louisa didn't like strangers that much. But this girl looked... so nervous and fidgety. Louisa might help her as well if she needed helping later in Hogwarts. "
Where did you come from?" Louisa asked out of politeness.
