"Calm down, people! Why are you all stressing about the houses? It doesn't really matter in which house you are in the end. To be honest, I don't care which house I get sorted in. I will be fine in any one of them." Harry offered with a nonchalant shrug.
Iris was shocked to hear that.
"What! Harry, you are going to be in Gryffindor. Right?" she pleaded, wrapping her arms around his hand and looking at him expectantly with wide emerald eyes and puffed up cheeks.
"I don't know. I don't have any problem with Gryffindor or being a Gryffindor. So why not? But I can't guarantee you that I will be in Gryffindor. We don't even know how we will be sorted. Surely you can't expect me to promise about something I don't know anything about. So let's not go too deep into the house discussion." Harry smiled, poking her cheeks.
From there the conversation got more intense when Daphne too joined in, Iris trying to cajole her brother into joining Gryffindor while Daphne trying to make him join Slytherin. Harry in all this was too amused.
'They themselves aren't even sorted yet and already are showing house loyalty.'
"Timeout. We will do this Gryffindor vs Slytherin thing sometime later. Hopefully, never. But I have to go now and search for Neville since he hasn't come here yet." Harry interrupted and quickly left the compartment before they could rope him again in their conversation.
Phew! It was getting intense in there. Harry decided to take a tour of the train and wandered lazily with no destination in his mind. Though he would of course grab Neville if he saw him.

"Have you seen a toad?" a bushy haired girl asked him as he stopped in front of her.

Thoughts about you: Curiosity]
"I mean, yes, I know what a toad looks like. I have seen it in pictures as well as in real life." Harry smiled cheekily. Hermione gave an annoyed sigh and rubbed her forehead.
"Well, thank you for answering unasked and unwanted questions. Now have you seen an actual toad on the train? A boy named Neville lost his pet. I am trying to help him."
"Oh! Helping others. Such a noble goal. I will help you then. And since Neville is my friend, I should help him find his toad. Shouldn't I?" Harry volunteered. A brilliant smile lit up Hermione's face as she pushed her hand forward.
"Thank you. My name is Hermione Granger. Nice to meet you."
Harry shook her hand enthusiastically.
"My name is Harry Potter. Nice to meet you Hermione. Let's find Neville's toad and then we can all sit together." Harry cheered.
[Plus 5 Affection with Hermione Granger for helping her and not ignoring her like the other students.]
The next thirty minutes was spent searching for the lost toad. Unsuccessfully. Harry sighed, decided enough was enough and put his hand on Hermione's shoulder, stopping her in her tracks.
"I think this is enough. We did all that we could do. Let's get back in the cabin."
"But... okay." Hermione agreed reluctantly and led him to where she was sitting with Neville.
"Mate, a toad? Really, a toad? Couldn't you pick a bigger and better pet?" that was the first question Harry asked when he came across Neville who was restlessly sitting with Susan Bones and Hannah Abbott. Neville perked up when he saw Harry and Hermione entering their compartment. But Hermione shook her head and Neville's face fell.
"It was a gift from my uncle." Neville mumbled glumly. Harry hummed thoughtfully, sitting across the three. Hermione sat beside him.

Thoughts about you: Fondness, Admiration]
"Your family has house elves, don't they? Call any one of them and ask them for help." Harry suggested after they all remained quiet for a minute. A moment of silence prevailed after his suggestion.
"That's actually a very good idea." Susan said.
"Don't sound so surprised! I am a bank of good ideas, Susie." Harry replied playfully. Susan and he weren't too close like he was with Neville, Daphne, Tracey and Astoria. But they had played together many times during their childhood. And he liked her well enough and knew she disliked this nickname.
It was so fun to annoy others.
Sure enough, Susan's eyes narrowed at him. Harry just smiled innocently at her.

At last, Susan just rolled her eyes while Hannah and Hermione laughed.

Neville then called for his house elf which promptly solved the whole fiasco in the next few seconds. Hermione was just mesmerised by the strange creature and bombarded them with questions.
"And that's my cue to go. Neville, I came here to take you back to where our friends are sitting, but seeing that you already are comfortable here, there's no more need for that. See you all at Hogwarts. Bye Neville, bye Hannah, bye Hermione and bye Susie." he grinned at them and quickly shut the door before Susan could reprimand him for butchering her name...again.

Harry finally saw the giant of a man as the half-giant called for the first years to crowd around him. Unlike normal mages, he had more HP and less MP.
'It must be because of his race of half-giant.' Harry pondered.
