Daniel approached the Hufflepuff table with his hands deep inside of his robe pockets and a pensive expression on his face as V's words said during the train ride seemed to haunt him already. He took a seat at the table and placed his bag on the bench beside him. While doing this, he noticed Lisa marching over to the Slytherin table and his dark brown eyes followed her she took a seat next to V.

Was V going to tell Lisa that she had referred to him as 'cute' on the train? Surely she wouldn't? It would be as embarrassing for her as it was for him. He could feel his cheeks warming up again, but this time it was because he remembered his flustered reaction.

Daniel, feeling embarrassed, placed his arms on the surface of the wooden table and then rested his chin on top of his arms, willing himself to not think about it. He looked around the table at the other students, but he wasn't in the mood to greet anyone. Instead, the boy turned his head to see the staff table. It was strange to see Kazmi in the Headmaster's chair but he was curious how he would perform in his new role.
