[It takes him a second to look away from whatever he happens to be looking at at precisely the moment Feferi approaches him, but when he actually turns his attention to her he smiles fairly immediately. Neytiri circles around and sits primly beside him now that he's stopped moving.]

Ah-- yes. Okay, yes. Overwhelmed, also yes.

[He takes a moment to look left, then right, and hunch his shoulders in a nervous little shrug.]

There's just so many friggin' people, and they're all magical! Witches and wizards and teachers and-- It's just unreal, and a bit startling, is all.

[bubblingover]

[Feferi feels like she meet this boy before, but she can't put her finger on it, hopefully it will come before its gets to embarrassing for her. Her react to his smile, is to smile right back.]

I guess your not used to crowds in general? Although yeah it is quite startling, so many magical people are gathered in one place. I find it fascinating at the same time!

Not to scare you but once you get to Hogwarts, they going to be a lot more that's probably going to scare or shock you, i mean a good way at least!!

[Fef probably scaring him more than making him more comfortable.]

[Jake couldn't hope to keep anyone straight with who he's met and who he hasn't, but Feferi's patented brand of excitement is sort of endearing and familiar. He doesn't quite recognize her yet, though.]

Ah, not so much.

[He laughs a little.] Then I suppose I had better get used to the crowds, hmm?

xfgjhdskvbj i forgot about this tag i am so sorry sdkjfghdf

[bubblingover]

Yeah, but even if crowds get overwhelming, Hogwarts is massive so it won't be to hard to be able to find your own place away from everyone. Unless of course the ghosts find you... but they can't do much at any rate!!

[She pauses a moment to think. She just can't put her finger on where she has meet him before, may as well ask.]

I am sorry i should of asked this early, but what's your name?

that's okay!! i'm really super-slow lately anyway. <3

[ficklefuckwit]

Oh right the house ghosts!! I remember hearing stories about them.

[He doesn't seem the slightest bit ruffled by their mention. Jake you're weird. He starts when she asks his name and colors a bit in the face.]

Oh-- bother, where are my manners. Jake English, miss! [He bows a little at the waist and holds out a hand.]

[bubblingover]

[She gives a puzzled look at first, she is kinda suprized. From the way he was speaking before she assumed he would be a muggleborn, not used to the wizard world, But not being phased by ghosts made her think differently.

Then when he says his name, feferi now remembers who he is, she gladly takes his hand and shakes it.]

Oh! I remember you! Jake, its nice to meet you in person!! I don't know if you remember me, but i am Feferi!!

late tag is late

[ficklefuckwit]

[Muggleborn, yes! But his grandmother was a witch and went to Hogwarts, so he knows his stuff. His grin broadens when she gives her name.]

Oh! Yes I remember you!! We spoke briefly over the network, didn't we?
