Hello, Classmate! (tag Alexander Whitlock) by Cole Pierce

Cole walked around where the wagons were landing. So far as he knew the North East wagon had landed before the West wagon had, and he was waiting for Lenny so the 'twins' would be seen entering the school together. This had always been the weakest point of their deception; the fact that they lived on opposite coasts of the country was kind of a dead giveaway that they weren't actually twin brothers, and though there was no hiding that from the people on their respective wagons, Cole like the rectify the separation as quickly as possible before too many people saw they didn't arrive together.

There was a bit of a difficulty, of course, in that it meant people who arrived between them also saw he wasn't with Lenny, but he hoped they'd just assume Lenny had gone in already and Cole was waiting for some of his Quidditch buddies or something. That was his story if anyone asked.

Another wagon came in for a landing, and Cole straightened up attentively, but as the students began disembarking from it, he knew it was the international one, not the one from the West.

As long as he was here anyway, he saw no reason not to be friendly to the people he knew arriving. "Hi, Alexander!" he called out cheerfully to one of the British kids in his year. "Welcome back! Did you have a good summer?"


OOC: So obviously, as you probably gathered from the content of this post, you would know that Cole and Lenny Pierce are passing themselves off as twins, with some holes in their story if anyone looks too hard into it. Without being particularly close to either of them, what Alexander would know is that they do have the same last name, they do look related, they are often seen together, and they do refer to each other as their twin. Alexander may not be entirely sure if Lenny is a girl or a boy as Lenny wears his hair long and prefers pretty feminine attire but insists on he/him pronouns. Cole is much more unambiguously male and stereotypically Teppenpaw. (Lenny is also a Teppenpaw, but not quite so cheerfully friendly with everybody he meets as Cole is.) If Alexander cares about blood status, he knows 'the Pierce Twins' are Mixed Blood and are not from the respectable New Hampshire branch of the family. He may have found it weirdly difficult to pin down their actual branch affiliation though.
