there were some things that Isaak didn't expect to get from Slytherins, and one of those things was a hug. he was taken by surprise when Verlin did that, but it was a caring hug and a show of understanding. Aside from his family, not very many people gave him hugs and he never expected one to come while he was at Hogwarts, but it happened and he was glad that there were some Slytherins who were fine with showing kindness. when he heard her talk about joining the team as a beater to protect him, he smiled and responded, "Thanks but I don't think I'll need too much protecting, but I do think you should still try out for the team and we might be able to win the Quidditch cup for Slytherin this year."

it would be great to get on the Quidditch team together with a friend, and it would be an opportunity for the both of them to become popular among their house. he then answered Verlin's question about interrupting his and Acacia's conversation, "you didn't interrupt anything important, we were just talking mostly about our favorite subjects with the Gryffindors. i think she gave you that look because that Gryffindor named Willow is very shy of crowds and Acacia just wanted you gone. i also can tell that there is something off about Acacia, she is very manipulative and puts on a charade with the members of the other houses to become friends with them. i don't know why she is doing this but i too feel that we need to watch her and see if we can find out what her true intentions are."

the carriages soon came to a halt and it was time for them to get out of the carriage and head into the school. even before they entered Hogwarts, Isaak still marveled at the wonder of the castle and the mystical feel of it. upon entering the school, Isaak was met with the familiar sight of the beautiful interior of Hogwarts and memories of his first year came flooding back to him. it was just magical being able to once again attend the great school.

"It feels so wonderful to be back at Hogwarts again, don't you agree?" he asked Verlin with a smile. he was curious to see the how the sorting ceremony would go and then the feast would happen and there would be more food than he could imagine.
