Errr should West say stuff?

The firstie only saw the common room with fresh eyes and he sorta looked around a bit before tentatively putting his hand up. "I don't know about the cups and things, on account of I wasn't here but... Pride? Its a bit of a mess in here and my dad -he was a Slytherin- he says that showing well and taking pride in what is yours, makes it easier to believe in yourself and do better and be the best." He said that about West's room quite a lot, and it was true that West felt better when he had cleaned his room, even if he didn't always like doing it to begin with.

Errr... no? Just him? Okay then. West went quiet and listened curiously to all the big kids.
