“My father's Hungarian, my mother's French.” He said with a wave of his hand. “I'm a Beauxbatons transfer.”
He didn't have a trace of a French or Hungarian accent despite being able to speak the languages fluently. He had picked up a strange American/British/European mix from the different places he had lived throughout his childhood.
He eyed the boy for a moment. “Soo.. Somewhere between you and me would probably be socially acceptable around here?” Because, lets face it, this kid could do with a bath. And.. did something just fall out of the kid's hair or his hand? Uugh.. It made the OCD hairs prick up on the back of Józsua's neck.
“You..” Er.. “Did you just drop something?”
Dirty abrupt first years. This was not what he had anticipated for the feast.
This other boy was rather different and Józsua gave him a small, genuine smile. “Were you hoping for Slytherin?” He asked trying to make conversation.
The accent. He supposed he would get lots of comments on it while he was at the school. “Thanks.” He replied. “I like yours too.” British accents were rather interesting with all the regional dialects and such. Józsua thought his own quite bland and boring in comparison.
“I'm Józsua.” He introduced himself to the younger boy.
"Hoping for ANYTHING to be honest," Caleb chuckled. "My family has a good number of Slytherins though, so I thought there was a good chance I'd end up here. Now my sister - I KNEW she'd end up here," he said with a smile. Had he noticed that Caleb had a twin sister who was called after him? Or did he need to explain that? Hmmm...
"I have an accent?" he asked the older boy, wrinkling his eyebrows. It never occurred to him that HE had an accent to foreigners - everyone sounded the same to him! Then again, he hadn't really lived outside of London...ever, so he was sure he was going to hear all sorts of accents all over the place. "Thanks Józsua. Where are you from, Józsua?" he asked, repeating his name and using that clever trick his dad had taught him to remember names by repeating it over and over.

Waving her hand was too mainstream.
But yeah. That was it.
Oh wait. Introductions, she almost forgot that part. "I'm Katrina, female Prefect." ANNNND Head Girl! But they could see it with her badge and all.
"Hi Katrina, I'm Caleb Newell!" he said happily to their prefect. He wanted to ask her a BILLION questions about being a prefect, since he KNEW he'd be in her shoes one day, but he figured there'd be time for that later. So instead he looked at her pretty badge, imagining how someday he'd be weari-
"Hey! You're Head Girl too!? AWESOME!" he exclaimed, leaning over the table with a hand raised for a high five.
Slytherin just kept getting better and better!

...but just as she thought she might have to, she heard her name in an all too familiar voice. She turned to se Caleb waving her over. See, he was just so friendly, and that's why she'd questioned his Slytherin-ness. At least he presented an opportunity to sit down, though.
Sophie steered herself in his direction and took a seat. "Caleb--Slytherin! Both of us," she said with a smile. She looked down at the table, wishing the food was already before her. Now that the nervousness associated with sorting was over, she was suddenly hungry. "We should write home and tell Mom and Dad!"
"What do you think DAD will say?" Caleb asked, but even as he spoke, he started to smile. Oh man, Dad was going to freak! In a good way though, he could feel it. He knew that their father would never ACTUALLY be mad at them because of where they were sorted. In fact he'd probably be super interested to hear what life was like as a snake!
"For some reason, I didn't think we'd end up in the same house. But I'm glad we did," he added, his voice dropping as he spoke. He didn't want to make it seem like he NEEDED his twin sister there, in case any older kids were listening but...he WAS happy she was there with him. It made everything seem EXCITING rather than SCARY.
"Well, anyways, onto the real important bit - I always knew you'd be Slytherin. But what do you think about ME being a Slytherin?" he asked her with a coy grin. Up until a few moments ago, even HE hadn't been certain he'd end up here.

"Hey, welcome to Slytherin! I'm Kahlan Moriarty, second year" she introduced herself fully, making sure she'd answered all the main questions that seemed to be asked. House was obvious, and she'd stated her name and her year... all good.
"Excited to be at Hogwarts?" she continued, trying to make a bit more effort with this kid.
"Nice to meet you, Kahlan," Caleb said with a smile. Hmm. That was an interesting name. And a second year! Finally someone who wasn't centuries older than him! "I'm Caleb."
"Yeah, I'm super excited! Even MORE excited to be a Slytherin, to be honest!" he said with a toothy grin. He was getting more and more enthusiastic about his house by the minute. He was so happy!!
SPOILER!!: Sophie and Cutty! Quote:

Yup, just as she'd said. Some boys could really be way too full of themselves. She was glad Caleb wasn't like that. Having to live with an annoying jerk her whole life would get really old really fast. "What kind of name is Cutty anyway?" she said, feeling some sort of need to snap back, no matter how small.

He sat up very erectly when she mentioned his name. "It's an English name, So-pheeet in yer pipe and smoke eet!" He said, exaggerating the pronunciation of her name and tagging a line to the end of it in effort to try to make it sound as if it were as funny as his own.
Despite the fact that everyone Caleb had met so far seemed to be pretty cool, there WAS a dude nearby who seemed to be a bit full of himself. He caught Sophie's glanced and smirked back at her, but suddenly, his tone changed. What had he just called his sister? LOVE? NO ONE TALKED TO SOPHIE LIKE THAT.
"Oi, that's my sister you just called looov, mate," he said, exaggerating the word to try and mimick his accent. Who did this kid think he was? Caleb wasn't all that into breaking rules but he'd break a few bones if he needed to protect Sophie from crazies.
