"Do you like your housemates? How's your common room and dorms?" Vashti had always kind of wished she could get a peek at the other common rooms, just to see what they were like and how the students got into them. They probably didn't have to solve a riddle everytime they wanted to go in.
"A few, yeah." She nodded and then kind of shrugged at the question about the new professors. "Most of them don't seem too bad." Others - mainly one - on the other hand, were just...strange, and not even in a good way.
'Yes. I didn't expect anything different. My mum is my best friend, she would have been content enough with any House. Although she did tell me Gryffindor was right up there after Ravenclaw on her list of preferences.' the firstie chuckled.
'It was more difficult with my grandparents, who value tradition the most, but they came to terms with it, anyway.' And that was all that mattered. Since she had never met her father, his opinion didn't really matter, if he even had one.
'Oh, yes, my housemates are great.' Ari nodded.
'And the common room is very welcoming and comfortable, although rather noisy at times. And the dormitories are spacious, but sometimes I miss having a bedroom of my own and not sharing it.' the girl narrated.
'Have you met any first year Ravenclaws? What do you think of them?' she asked Vashti.
'Two of my best friends are first year Ravenclaws. Melina and Gwen.' Maybe she knew them.
'I know. I really like Professor Cerulean. And the Care of Magical Creatures Professor. And Professor Hadley. Oh, and Professor Zookara!' Ariadne enumerated.
'But I'm kind of terrified of Shaw.' she confessed.
