[ Equius thinks he recognizes this boy from somewhere. But he's not sure! So he's just going to stare down a bit of the train at him for a few moments. Hopefully he doesn't scare the kid away? ]

[He feels the stare on him and turns around to see who it is. Seeing the strange boy form Diagon Alley, he smiles and waves]

[ Equius takes the wave as the kid recognizing him, so he approaches! ]

You seem... familiar. Did we meet some time last year?

[thesmallesttrickster]

We met in Diagon Alley. We ran into each other, remember?

[strongjumps]

Ah, that is correct!

[ He laughs at his error in memory. ]

Did I introduce myself? I am Equius Zahhak, a fourth year Slytherin.

[ Equius doesn't ask about the boy's house or year, in case he is a first year. He looks quite young, after all. ]

Are you excited for the year to begin?

[thesmallesttrickster]

I am Loki, a first year.

I am very excited for school to start!

[strongjumps]

I remember my first year...

[ But he surely isn't going to start talking about it. ]

Are you hoping for a particular house?
