Adi noticed an older dude (Kaiden) in the room who was not there before. But this one didn't look so happy and excited as the others. The firstie bounded over. "Why so glum, chum?'' he asked. Hopefully the boy won't be angry because of the intrusion or anything. "I'm Aditya, by the way. But call me Adi as everyone else does.'' Grin.

Just then Adi noticed- "Kace! Hi, buddy!'' he greeted the cool second year Puffer. He noticed the pleased look on his House mate's face and grinned. "I bet you're happy to be back,'' he said. Adi just knew he was glad to be here. All these people were amazing!

Ohh! This kid was the birthday boy! Adi remembered seeing him at the Hufflepuff table. Hadn't he been the one with the pogo stick? The firstie asked. "Did you have a pogo stick at the Feast? Can I have a go? I like pogo sticks!'' Oops. The birthday boy might not like having a bothersome firstie using his pogo stick. Adi quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, Happy birthday, dude!'' He held out his hand. "I'm Aditya but call me Adi.''

Get him a onsie? Adi grinned at Min. Would it be a Hippogriff onsie? But really, he didn't mind as long as he had one of those comfortable things. "Yes! I have time,'' he responded. Especially if it involved food. And cake! "That's a brilliant idea, Min! Who are the other September birthday guys?'' He paused. "I'm January,'' he added with a wink. Well, he won't mind if he just got a Happy birthday from them. That would be a-okay too!

Adi turned when he heard a voice he knew. "Hiiii, Head Boy Wade!'' He was gonna call Wade that all term long.
