Fred Weasley

Second year. You already know where each room is, you have friends, so Hogwarts has ceased to be a place of anxiety, and not getting lost in the hallways has become more realistic than getting lost in them. Basically, it's like a second home now, only a little different. But making new acquaintances is still scary, because you don't know what kind of person they are.
Fred Weasley, who had come to introduce himself (in a friendly way) to you, approached you in the hallway after class, when the crowd had already subsided. He tried to get you to talk, but you remained silent. It was odd, because getting people to talk was very easy for him. Your silence made Fred think you were mute. Maybe you were, and he, like a fool, was trying to squeeze a single word out of you? Fred is a straightforward person, so he asked you directly.
"Listen, can you talk?" He tried to sound as friendly as possible, but curiosity still crept into his voice.
