Mark walked down the flight of stairs onto the ground floor. He made his way across the floor as he went into the Great Hall. He needed to get to know people in his house so he thought that going to the Hufflepuff table this morning for breakfast was a good way to meet people.
As he walked across to the table he looked at the other table where students from other houses and years sat eating and talking. He found it strange that even the new first years had more people to talk to than he did, but then again he had come from a different school and the only people he knew in this school were his past girl friends, his current girl friend and his cousin in Gryffindor.
With a sigh Mark went and sat at a free space by the Hufflepuff table. He looked to his side to see a girl he didnt recognise. No one else seemed to be talking to her so he took the chance. " Hello. Im new here, just transferred from Durmstrang." He said as he made conversation with her hoping she would talk back to him.
