Terra, at the Hufflepuff table, turned to those other first years. She knew a couple from the train, but she didn't know Vincent. She gave the boy a smile and said, "Hello, I'm Terra Resse." She held her hand out across to him. She wasn't very good at the whole making friends thing like Astrid, who at the Gryffindor table had already started chatting quietly with another Gryffindor girl. 

An older student leaned over and said, "Welcome to Hufflepuff. It's a great house. Not once has a bad witch or wizard ever come out of our house. The other three they have, but not from Hufflepuff." The older student beamed proudly.

"I didn't know that." Terra said, her hand still poised for Vincent to take.
