Leaving her messenger bag by the couch, Savannah got down on the floor and scooted a little closer, leaning her back against the couch as she listened attentively to the boy telling her the problem of which she completely understood. It reminded her of when the Ministry Officals had taken over, everything was different and the littlest of things was point deductable.

When he was finished, the brunette chuckled. "I'm glad you feel better, it's good to let your thoughts out." She spoke encouragingly, nodding ever so slightly. "First year is overwhelming for everyone, you'll get use to each different Professor with time and learn how best to stay on their good sides. Some are more strict than others, and others are more patient, it just depends on the person. The rest of us are on the same page as you with the new Professors this term so even when you think you are, you're never alone." Savannah said, smoothing out her uniform skirt over her knees that she tucked in close to her side. Ocean blue eyes then moved to stare into the fireplace, she went on "In most classes we're encouraged to discuss the topic that we're learning about, and everyone has their own opinions which is perfectly fine - it's respecting others thoughts that's not always easy; But you can be polite and still disagree, without arguing."

"Try not to worry so much about accidentally losing points, or about making an uptight Professor mad. You can only do your best, and although the house points race is a fun competition between the four houses, it's not everything. Plus, you can always earn back any points you lose later. Follow the rules but still have fun and enjoy school, you know?" Savannah couldn't stress the last part enough, when she was younger she never understood what the older students meant by cherish your years at Hogwarts while you can. Now she knew exactily what they were talking about, because time really flew right infront of your eyes.
Jake leaned his head back and nodded, staring at the ceiling. Blah... new school, new people, new classes... "I just don't want people hating me for losing pointa I lose any points. My mother always told me I was never the most tactful of people, so I'm afraid I'll say something and lose points... it's probably me being all anxious about something silly..." Jake pulled his head back up and shook it a little. He really was panicking about nothing... Jake hadn't lost any points thus far.

"And the same with the classes," Jake went on. "I don't like disagreeing witth people, or making them angry... it gets scary, you know?" Jake looked over at the girl. His brow furrowed. "Sorry, but I didn't tell you my name... it's Jacob- erm... Jake," he had been close to reciting his whole name again. Jake smiled a little. "And I intend to enjoy these years of my life."

Jake shrugged. "Ah... it was ok, I guess... and in retrospect it was better than I thought it would be. Just, a little confusing... and with the new dates and people, suddenly learning them all instead of learning through life..." Jake thought for a second. "It's a good thing I decided to read loads when I found out I was a wizard, I suppose all the real muggle-borns would get more lost in that class than me... But, saying that, the professor taught it really well," Jake admitted. Gah... I'm just slooooooooow.
