Brent just nodded in reply. He still couldn't imagine coming up those stairs all the time. Then the athlete in him came out, and his face suddenly shone with excitement. "You know what they should do? They should allow us to ride our brooms up here!" he said. "We could start on the ground and ride up through one of the open areas. That'd be awesome! Then I'd be really be jealous of you Ravenclaws and the Gryffindors." Then if for some reason there were people that didn't want to ride up here, they could always take the slow route.

The topic changed, and now he was being asked about Ilvermorny, a fact about Brent that apparently really interested people. "Yeah, man. We moved this summer," he answered. "I spent my first three years there." Whooooooa. "Dude! Really?" he asked. "That's awesome! What house were you in?" Because if he said Wampus, Brent would find it really strange that they were just now meeting one another. he nodded. "I know, man! It's taking some getting used to. So what'd you move for?"

Brent laughed. "Nice to meet you, Jacob," he said. "What year are you in?" He was kind of stoked about meeting somebody about his age that had also transferred from Ilvermorny.

It had sucked at first, especially since he wasn't very athletic overall, but he did have a pacing-while-thinking habit. Maybe that helped keep him in shape. He did eat a lot of chocolate frogs, and he did sit around and read a lot... By all accounts, he should probably be much larger than he was. Yeah, must be the pacing. WAIT. Quodpot? That was American. He said he played it in America! And his name was... Brent? HEY. This must be the person Olivia had been talking about meeting in Diagon Alley. Someone else from Ilvermorny! Jacob's eyes lit up at this realization. But he should probably play it cool and not be weird. Just ease into the conversation and bring it up organically... "Wait, did you transfer here from Ilvermorny? Because I did at the very end of last term and it's been so weird and everything is so different and how the heck are we supposed to get used to all this weird terminology like 'corridor' instead of 'hallway' and 'Muggle' instead of 'No-Maj' and why do they need to put a random 'u' in words like 'color' or 'favorite' that don't really need one?!" he exclaimed, almost in a single breath. Okay, so much for playing it cool and not being weird. Usually he was on the quiet end of the weird spectrum, but he couldn't help his excitement and meeting someone who might actually get it (and he'd been dying to air those complaints to someone who would understand). He cleared his throat, and a blush began to creep up his cheeks as he tried to recover, realizing that he had probably just sounded completely crazy. "What I mean to say is, I'm Jacob, and it's good to meet you, Brent." He smiled a bit sheepishly. Brent just nodded in reply. He still couldn't imagine coming up those stairs all the time.
