As Alex continued to talk and introduce himself, an imaginary hat having waaay too bitg of a role in this action, Riley's weird-meter continued to rise. The boy seemed nice enough and obviously didn't have any pycho attacker traits, but he still was a bit off. But he seemed happy and Riley wasn't mean enough to make him not so. He smiled politely at the boy's comment about how he liked train travel, biting his lip for a whitty response to the dreaded locomotives.

Then Lexi spoke bringing the fifth year's attention to his immediate left to the girl blushing at his appearance. Blushing was good in his book. "Oh Apparation, eh? Can't wait to do that, Think I will pass my exam on the first try when the time comes?" he said big-headedly running a hand through his hair. He was just joking around but he sure hoped the un-needed touch of his hair brought her attention on his looks again. Stolen glances couldn't hurt either. *eyebrows*

Then Alex spoke again....this time the thought of the hufflepuff apparating made Riley chuckle a little out loud and force him to cover his mouth and make it seem as if he had coughed. Pushing away the evil, yet still pretty funny images of Alex trying to apparate from his mind, Riley nodded and spoke quietly to the boy. "Oh so you have you license?"
