Oriel studied him curiously as Kevin drifted into silence. His bright blue eyes slid over his face and he found himself wondering what he was thinking about. But he didn't look for too long before he politely looked back down at his notebook. It wasn't nice to stare at someone, after all - well when he didn't need to!
So he very nearly didn't see what Kevin said, but he only missed the 'old' part. The rest he caught and he returned the grin with a smile of his own.
"Old friends are great," he agreed. He wasn't really in touch with too many friends from his days in Muggle elementary school. There were a couple he saw now and again, but none he was really close with. But he had friends from his First Year of Hogwarts!
