[You look new and interesting! So this fourth year say hello!]

Hello there! You seem new. Are you lost? Maybe I can help.
I'm Shinra Kishitani!

[And with that, he offers his hand. ]

[ficklefuckwit]

[Wow he keeps accidentally making friends this is kind of cool!! He frowns a moment, shaking his hand firmly.]

Kishi-- ah, you made that network post with your friend asking about, erm-- [He lowers his voice and puts a hand to his face, as though to prevent other people from overhearing.] --about wanking. Fancy to finally meet you, sir! Jake English.

[doctorkishitani]

[He looks down somewhat sheepishly. ]

Ah.. Yes, that was me. I've since been informed that we're not meant to discuss that sort of thing on the journal network.

[Recognizing the name, he quickly looks back up, beaming at Jake]

You're Jake English! It's good to finally meet you too. Your grandmother went to Hogwarts, didn't she? You must be very excited! Which house do you think you'll end up in. I hope the hat puts you in Ravenclaw.

[ficklefuckwit]

[He waves a hand.] No harm no foul as far as I'm concerned, chap.

...Ah, yes. Gram was a Ravenclaw, and I believe a Quidditch beater. It was so long ago, though, I'm surprised you remember. [He scratches the back of his neck.] I'm not so sure I'm wise enough for the prestige of Ravenclaw, my friend.

[doctorkishitani]

[He laughs quietly, grinning at the other boy. ]

I didn't know her personally, but you did mention her over the journals.
And from what I know, I'm sure you'd make an excellent Ravenclaw! If nothing else, you seem to have an aptitude for curiosity!

[ficklefuckwit]

Well of course you didn't know her personally! [He laughs.] You'd be much older than you are if you did.

[He stuffs his hands into his pockets and scuffs his shoe against the ground, embarrassed.] Curiosity does not a Ravenclaw make.
