Hiroshi gave Paul a smile, and gave him a light handshake. Hiroshi was relieved that the boys in the compartment were kind enough to let him have a seat. ' They seem kind', Hiroshi thought to himself. Paul had mentioned something about houses. Hiroshi heard that the Hogwarts school placed their students into different groups, or so called 'houses'. And these houses would compete with one another for points, and that the Quidditch team would also be separated into these different houses.  He didn't know much about the houses, besides they were all represented by some sort animal. Hiroshi not wanting to embarrass himself responded:

[color=0054a6]" What ever house shall be fine, as long as I'm with good company it does not matter. But out of curiosity, how do they know which house they put you in? Do they do some sort of test?"[/color]

Hiroshi was curious, and worried. How did they place students into the different houses. Was one house better than the other. As he pondered about this as he looked out of the compartment and saw that the compartment across from them had began to fill up with other students.
