Looking up at the boy who offered to work with her Sakura gave him a small smile of thanks. She didn't want to have to look around for ages for a partner. Besides, he already had the sticks so she wouldn't need to get them.

"I don't mind working with a stranger. I don't know many people here anyway so most anyone I worked with would be a stranger," she replied with a small shrug, at the same time gesturing that he should sit down across from her.

Turning around at the sound of another voice, this time belonging to who she assumed was a first year, she tilted her head slightly in thought. "I don't mind as long as... what is your name?" Sakura asked, turning back to the original boy. It was only then that she noticed both were members of Gryffindor. Oh well, she felt house rivalry, and Gryffindor really didn't need to get any more points but they'd probably do the homework anyway so she might as well work with them. Besides it was only a friendly rivalry and Sakura had, had Gryffindor friends in her first year.
