The others were all so... eager.

That wasn't at all to say Jameson wasn't happy—elated, even—to be here. Indeed, there had been some degree of a smile plastered upon his face since he had taken his seat at the Ravenclaw table. And it was delightful, too, to find others excited about all Hogwarts had to offer. Still, the first year found himself holding back somewhat, but wishing he felt comfortable being free about his hopes, dreams, and their ilk. Jammy had always thought himself a sociable sort... and perhaps he still was. Within the family.

This was altogether different.

"I'm planning to try out for the team as well," he said to Black. "Hopefully there's more than one position available!" Though his intial assessment of the other boy was something along the lines of good lad, should friend, he did not know Phineas Black II (such a mouthful!) nearly well enough to joke with him yet.

  

To be honest, Phin was feeling a little overwhelmed following the talking of so many people, though that might have just been a by-product of the events of the day. He'd probably be all right once he'd gotten used to things, when he wasn't thinking about making a good impression. It'd be all right.

He turned to Potter, responding, "Hopefully. Good luck!" He smiled at the other boy. "At least if we don't make it, we don't have to give up on quidditch entirely." Honestly, Phin thought he might join club quidditch whether he made the team or not. It sounded like a bit of fun without any of the pressure of being on the team. Sounded like a good balance to him, anyway.

Bonnie was pleased that the new boys were so keen, the hat had clearly been correct in putting them Ravenclaw. "We've got a few slots to fill this year, hopefully we'll see you both out there." the teen said on a welcoming tone. "I'm the team seeker, and Nicodemus Dursley over there is our captain." they took a big bite of their apple as they spoke before blushing and remembering their manners. Bonnie quickly chewed away the apple so they could talk more, their overexcitement of the day was quite palpable.

"Of course if flying around at high speed trying not to get knocked down isn't your speed, you could go and read some books with Miss Potts. and the rest of the boo... aaahnn ... sorry." Bonnie feigned a yawn and a stretch in place of the words book club before smiling at Millie and laughing. The seeker was a bit of a bookworm herself too, if they were honest, but that wasn't their first layer.

Cad shook his head at Miss Shacklebolt. "No, you can definitely decide later on what clubs you want to join, especially after classes. You can be in five, which sounds like a lot, but after a while it might be hard to choose." Although he was only in three, but he didn't want to spread himself too thin this year when he had so many more responsibilities in comparison than last year.

It seemed some of the others were still chatting about quidditch in clubs, but Cad didn't feel the need to butt in. Instead he leaned forward and whispered to his table, "Looks like the last first year was sorted. Headmaster Black will probably say a few words so we probably want to pay attention to that." He wasn't going to let any of his fellow Ravenclaws be docked points for something silly.
