Lysander smiled at the boy as he say down across from where he was seated. His attention was turned back to the window for a few short moments before the boy's introduction caught his attention. The Ravenclaw turned away from the window and looked at the boy. Soon a wide grin formed on his lips and he shook Hugo's hand. "Nice to meet you Hugo. I'm Lysander Scamander." he said, the grin still on his mouth. "Hey, your parents are Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger right?" he asked a bit curiously. "My mother, Luna Lovegood, knows them. I don't know if your parents remember her that well, but she sure remembers them." he laughed a bit. "She always talks about how brave and smart they all were, including Harry..." he trailed off for a moment, remembering he had died. "She always says that Harry was a good person, always thought about others before himself, and that he was always determined to finish what he started." he said softly, smiling again. "I would've loved to meet him. He's like my hero." he smiled sheepishly.
He shook his head and nodded at what Hugo said. "Yeah, there's never a day when this place is completely empty. There's always someone around." he said softly. He looked at the boy as he said that he had fallen behind on his homework and he nodded again. "I heard ya, these professors give tons of homework, though not the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, or at least not yet." Lysander laughed. "I heard that he's also the Head of House for Gryffindor, that's true?" he asked him. He was obviously implying that Hugo was a Gryffindor, something he wouldn't do If he wasn't completely sure. Besides it was easy to tell what housr he was in, he didn't act like a Slytherin, he'd never seen him in Ravenclaw tower, so the only two choices that were left were Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. And seeung how both his parents were Gryffindors that basically fit into place, that he be a Gryffindor as well.
