Daniel walked into the Great Hall without looking up from the book he was holding. He'd been reading it on the train ride to school, and he wasn't ready to put it down just yet. However, just because he was busy with reading did not imply he was unaware of his surroundings. He skillfully avoided bumping against other students and made his way to the Hufflepuff table with ease. Once he arrived, the fourth year dog-eared the page, placed the book on the wooden table and took a seat on the bench in front of it.

"Yes. Hello. Greetings. Whatever"

He leaned on his elbow as he looked toward the staff table, where he quickly noticed at least two new professors. He wondered which subjects they were hired for but not enough to ask any of the Hufflepuffs if they had some early information.
