Samira smiled at the fact that Ari didn't think she was a total idiot. "Thanks," she grinned, referring to Ari's offer to help her in Arithmancy. She wasn't even bothered at the fact that a younger student was offering to help her with her studies. Everyone had something they were good at, and something they weren't, just like she said. "Astronomy can get pretty confusing," she agreed. "But I'm not total rubbish at it like I am at Arithmancy." At the next comment Samira grinned excitedly. She always felt happy when she talked about flying. "Oh, I love it. I've been flying since I was little." Then she gave a small, reassuring smile. "I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Flying isn't a necessity," after a pause she said, "Actually, I'd be happy to help you with flying, if you want. Like an exchange." Ari helps Samira with Arithmancy, and in return Samira would help Ari with flying. Besides, Samira didn't like to accept favors without giving something in return.

At the comment about Lafay, Samira had to laugh. "Well good for you! I actually don't mind her either. I mean, I have to get used to it, since she's my head of house--but I really do respect her. She doesn't take any nonsense, and sometimes that's how things need to be."
