Also true, to the best of his understanding, which was limited.

"I hope so," he said. All day he'd been thinking about meeting a unicorn. He thought he might think about it tomorrow, too, but time would tell.

"Oh, well..." He blinked at the boy's hand, then shook it lightly. "I'm Kenneth. Maybe we'll have classes together, then," he suggested. Since they were in the same year and all. "Maybe we can sit together, even?" Not that he was opposed to sitting alone with his stack of books, but...it was nice to have someone to talk to. Maybe they could both sit and read together sometimes. He hoped he wouldn't run out of things to read, being away from his uncle's library for so long.

Archeologists? Roman scrunched his face in thought. "So they're professional diggers?" he asked, trying to remember if that were the term for that. "And a professor? You're cut from intelligent cloth, then," he commented. "Your parents...they must be proud," he smiled a little. Unless they were the muggles that thought it was WEIRD. The other boy didn't seem like he came from those kinds of muggles, though, which was good.

Kenneth. Roman was about to continue the conversation when he saw his father's face in the window of the book shop and did NOT like the look his father was giving him. He was pointing at his watch, and Roman swallowed nervously.

Anton Gellar wasn't really strict, but he was harsh with his only son, and the man had his blonde hair tied back in a messy man!bun looking like he rolled out from the gym. He probably had, honestly, and Roman could see the shaky!cup in his dad's hand. "I have to go - my papa looks displeased with me," he said softly. "But Kenneth - maybe we'll see each other on the train! or at the feast! I'm hoping for Slytherin!" he said quickly as he shook Kenneth's hand once and then began to fleeeeeeee!
