"Yeah that's what I heard too. I'm not so sure I like that." He shivered slightly and finished adjusting his robes. "I'll be disowned if I get into Hufflepuff." He sighed and sat back down. The horizon was darkened now and he couldn't see anything beyond the glow of the train. 

"Do you think the hat knows things like that and takes it into consideration?" He looked at Siobhan, fear etched on his face. He glanced at the door hoping that it wouldn't open and revel his sister was on the other side of it. 

The door opened.

It wasn't his sister. Instead it was instead a red haired second year Huffelpuff. "Sorry, I was looking for my friend. She's a Ravenclaw, really long brown hair." Kyle shook his head. "Thanks." The red haired girl bounced out of the room. 

Kyle gave Siobhan a nervous smile.
