Austin walked into the common room with his fellow Ravenclaws, and saw, yet again, another house party. He really didn't have anything against these parties every year, it was just that he didn't know anyone. Austin liked to keep to himself with his nose in a potions book, so having friends wasn't really up his ally. But, in coming to these things, he was able to learn the names of the new 'claws.

On his way over, he nodded in the direction of both Mr. Kitridge and Professor Tanner. "Good evening you two." He grabbed a stick and two marshmallows, and settled on the floor near the fire.
