 Slytherindor ♛ The Crazytastic Besties ♛ Shan Watson ♛
He noticed Rosalie, his former schoolmate and one he’d kept in touch with over the years, out the corner of his eye when she entered. Simon would naturally have catch her later to catch up. In the meantime, he opted to give her a small wave and smile in greeting. Shortly after Rosalie joined them, Andromeda and June joined. “Evening!” he greeted them, offering a nod as they joined before his gaze went back out to look out at the student body. As June sat down beside him, he nodded to her question of it being a lovely evening. “Rather lovely,” he nodded to June’s question and then bit his tongue as he stopped himself from asking a rather obvious question to pose her. The last name was too much of a coincidence not to ask. However, he maintained his composure and did not ask her.
He then focused on Andromeda’s question and gave her a quick reply whilst she was standing for he thought it’d be rude to shout a reply over his neighbor. “Well. Thanks.” Simon found himself not having much more time to offer anything else because Kamran spoke. Ah shenanigans had already transpired. Simon couldn’t help but chuckle when his peer mentioned that it wouldn’t be Hogwarts without the shenanigans. Before he could say much else, Trent had arrived and was addressing them. Ah yes, right... the project... how exciting! He liked projects but then word of the Board filled within him dread for no good reason save for the fact that he preferred to teach his lessons without intrusions or unnecessary guests. Hopefully they wouldn’t stick around for one of his lessons. It’d be a distraction. And the students need any more distractions in his class. Nevertheless, he appreciated the information from Malachi. “Noted,” he nodded, restraining himself from adding a salute.
He had turned his gaze back out to the body of students before looking back to Kamran as he had not forgotten what his peer had said. Simon had had unfortunate timing in responding to his peer. “A Slytherin, I take it, was the troublemaker?” he suspected. It was his first guess after all, he, too, had been a member of the house of Green. If not a Slytherin, it was definitely a Gryffindor. “I didn’t find any troublemakers yet. I did meet a young Hufflepuff boy out in the Entrance Hall who was hanging around. Nose stuck in a book.. Very engrossed he was.” He chuckled. It reminded him of himself at that age. Much preferred the company of books to people save at the age of twelve. The quiet bookworm, of course, had his life turned upside down when he met his good friends in his third year.
