As in, he didn't actually have one; but since he'd been told time and again that they were quite useful, he was aspiring to create one for himself, "My name is Nealan Cosgrove. Most people just call me Neal. I'll be starting in the fifth-year classes." Seeing as he couldn't really call himself a fifth year, could he? Not yet, anyway.

He smiled at her welcome, following her gaze up to the staff table. From this distance, it was impossible to tell anything about them save for the fact that the chairs were occupied. He presumed they were talking to one another, but as he knew nothing about their teaching positions or personalities he didn't even have the option of making up their conversations in his head. Soon enough that was going to change.

Homeschooled and not into social life that much? She'd met someone so close to the boy last term. Louisa nodded understandingly. "I hope you'll find Hogwarts as great as most do." Louisa herself adored the place, and she was picky. "Is there a reason you were homeschooled? You have anyone in the family that went to Hogwarts at all?" He should know that she asked a lot of questions all the time by now, no? "You seem aware enough of the system going around here, I think." She gave him a thoughtful stare. Uh-huh, he was sitting at the right table after the sorting, right?

"Nealan Cosgrove," she repeated getting the name into her head. "Nice to meet you, Nealan." And she said it quite seriously so that he knew she didn't really compliment people around. "Fifth year. Oooh. You have OWLs this term then." Louisa shot him a pitying look, she'd suffered last term coz of those nasty exams. "You need any help with that, just tell me. I practically lived at the library last year so I know where you can do excessive research or extra reading." Unless he was a non-typical Ravvie, like their captain Ellie. D:
