"They're very aggressive octopus-like creatures, and they sometimes eat humans." that had to be about right..."I'm Meredith by the way. You're also in Gryffindor, right?" She was certain she had seen his face among the other first years wearing the Sorting Hat at the start of the term. She wasn't great at studying, but at least she was great at remembering people's faces.
EAT HUMANS!?

Joel frowned, clearly distraught at the thought. No no, that could not be true! His parents spoke a lot about how they swam in the Lake when the weather was nice! And even his big sister did it if he remembered it right... no, this couldn't be true. Or they dwelled on the lake bed instead of hanging around by the surface, maybe? "Are you sure?" he asked, because... he was confused. He couldn't exactly remember, but... yeah, he definitely had to read on the topic!

He was still distracted, eyes on the lake, and so he responded to her a second late. "What? Yeah, first year. Name is Joel, nice to meet you."

Eat humans... yeah, he was going to ask that to other people for sure!
