[color=RoyalBlue]After the quick interaction with Hadley, Clara felt proud of herself for not becoming (completely) clueless when it came to social cues. It had been one of her biggest weaknesses as a child, not being able to even talk to others without having a mental breakdown. It was such a relief when she starting working on that. Sighing about what just happened, Clara began to mentally prepare herself for the coming year, thinking of the classes, the professors...but mostly the upcoming feast, which was making her stomach grumble noisily.

Suddenly, interrupting the hunger rumblings, Clara noticed a boy walking slowly towards her. She did not recognize him as easily as she recognized Hadley. Somehow his face looked slightly familiar, as if she had spotted him in the halls one time. Or it could have been someone else, perhaps. The boy was getting closer and Clara looked around for another face he might have been aiming for, but all the other students were engrossed in conversation. So yes, the boy was indeed walking up to her.

The boy asked if he could sit with her. He sounded like a nice person, judging by the tone of his speech. Clara let about a millisecond go by, trying not to overthink things before she nodded politely. "Yes, you can sit here! I'm Clara and um, I don't think we've met, but you're in Ravenclaw, so...what's your name?" Clara said, awaiting his response.
