The first time they met after the incident was on Monday morning.
By chance he arrived at the classroom at the same time Newwiee and his group showed up. Instead of the usual nod Newwiee gave him a soft smile, partially expressing his gratitude for what Tay had done for him on the weekend.

Suddenly what had happened started to feel real.

When he had returned to the dormitories the adrenaline had still been pumping through his veins. He had tried his best not to wake up Off and Gun who were splayed out on Off’s bed. Fully clothed he had sat down on his bed. Sleep just wouldn’t come to him, but his head had been empty. Caught in this trance he had stayed wide awake until the first rays of sunshine had shone through the window and he had passed out from exhaustion.
When he had come to it, it was late afternoon. The room had been empty and no noise came from the common room.  He had felt like he was hung-over, both his head and stomach had hurt. Disoriented he had sat up slowly only for it to get black in front of his eyes.
Off had sauntered into the room, holding his step, seemingly surprised to have found Tay somewhat awake.
“You look like shit Peng!” he had greeted him, eyeing him up and down. Off had taken another bite of the sandwich he was holding in his hand before he had pushed the rest of it into his face.
“Want some?”
Tay couldn’t say anything before his stomach started growling, so he had taken a few bites.

A strong slap to his shoulder took him out of his thoughts.

His first class on Monday was History of Magic. When he finally found the classroom on the first floor it was already cramped with students who tried to fit in between the towers of books that filled the whole room and made Tay feel claustrophobic just by looking at them.
He was expecting whispers and knowing glances when he entered the room.
What he didn’t expect was the head of a familiar Gryffindor student turning around and looking at him in surprise.

On the far right of the room, sitting amidst his Gryffindor friends was New.
Their eyes met and Tay was about to head to the free seat next to him, when New’s face changed into a more reserved expression and the group surrounding him started to whisper.
“I didn’t know you knew the Suan guy, Newwiee” “Are your families close?”… After leaving him to stand awkwardly in the middle of the room, New finally seemed to have made up his mind and waved him over. All eyes followed him.

“I think you are in the wrong class.” He said softly.
“Huh?” Tay adjusted his glasses.
“This is History of Magic, for fourth years.”
Tay sighed in relief.
“Ah, I know. The school decided to put me into fourth grade.”
New looked surprised for a moment before he nodded and cleared the space beside him.

Tay lingered in front of the door to the great hall. The warm light finding it’s way between the door gap beckoned him to step in, but he stayed in the dark of the entrance hall, pondering whether he should go back to the common room.

During the train ride he had kept to himself letting the chatter of the four girls sitting in the same train compartment wash over him, his eyes focused on the book in his lap. In the beginning he could feel their curious glances, but as the ride went on they got distracted by stories about their summer holidays and didn’t engage with him until they arrived at Hogsmeade station.

He tried to blend in and look like he knew the way to the carriages that would take the students to the castle. Ducking his head and with his eyes on his feet he followed the crowd. The ground got moist and soft as the path vanished between tall spruce trees and he unconsciously started to lag behind as he took  in his surroundings. When he saw the first Thestral he almost felt relieved. Reading up on Hogwarts and it’s history and customs might have actually payed of. He climbed onto the last available carriage just as it was about to leave and sat down at the outermost corner, trying not to look up. The three guys on the carriage were chatting loudly and talking over each other and didn’t seem to take any notice of him. Tay took a quick glance at their robes. One Gryffindor, one Hufflepuff and one Slytherin. He had heard a lot about the comradery at Hogwarts, but also the rivalry between the four houses so these three were a colorful combination indeed. Tay turned his head to look back at the path they came from. The sun started to vanish behind the forest, making it look like the tree tops were lit on fire, an orange glow embracing them from above. Finally he felt himself relax, even as the air grew colder underneath the trees. The chatter had died down and the sigh that escaped Tay was louder than he had intended to.
