Maybe she wouldn't have to climb all the way up the steps yet. She could distract herself by talking to this kid.

"Hey, you're lost," she stated, coming up behind him while being careful to skirt the swamp in the corridor. "Where are you trying to get to? Hufflepuff common room?" she asked noticing the colour of his robes. Anything else she should know about this first year? Oh yeah- "I'm Tora Gallaway, what's your name?" she added turning towards the distraught badger.

Oh look, a friendly face. At least, that was the first impression Altair got. He sighed in relief that someone actually showed up. "Uh, y-yes," he answered a little off guard that she knew exactly what he was looking for. Was she some kind of mind reader? Were there people like that in this school? Could she be listening to what I'm saying right now, he thought as a quizzical look stretched across his face. I'm Altair, he thought again wondering if she really could hear him, but it didn't appear so.

"I'm Altair," he said with a smile, "Altair Merrit to be exact." Immediately his nerves began to calm. He didn't like not knowing where he was at. "I think I got turned around. I was trying to get back to my common room, but the swamp back there kind of threw me off." He took in a deep breath, trying not to relive the experience.
