Jake looked out the window as the train started to lurch along. He was finally going to Hogwarts. He was going to live a dream he had since he was six. Finally he was on his way. He was going to have a life outside of being the youngest Masters boy. He was gonna have a life free of his older brothers watching his every move. He was gonna have it all now and that made him smile. 

He looked at Martin who suddenly was bored by the window and decided to jump over into Jake's lap. The cat curled up as Jake scratched his head. "You are going to get into a house no matter what. It's how it works. My brother Henry told me it was based on the founders of the school. Each house takes what the founder wanted. Gryffindor takes people who are brave and chivalrous. My whole family is from that house. Uh Slytherins treasure purity of blood and ambition. Ravenclaw takes the intelligent. Hufflepuff takes the honest and kind. Each founder wanted those traits only at the school I think? Henry never did explain this well..," Jake said trying to put his new "friend" at ease. "You'll get in. " He promised not getting why Devlin was worried. This was great. 
 
He then noticed the girl who came in. She seemed nice so Jake offered her his hand. "I'm Jake. Nice to meet you. " He said grinning slightly. "Are you excited?" He asked her to take some heat off of Devlin before another question crossed his mind. 

Jake figured Devlin did not have anyone like Jake's brothers to explain how the school worked so he decided to back off a bit. "So uhh. Play any sports? I play Quidditch sort of.. My brothers make me play Keeper for them. Or goalie. That's the muggle term right?" He asked them both. He was naturally friendly and wanted to make as many friends as he could.
