But here, it really seems like the whole accent thing is the last thing that matters when you're talking to someone which is cool." He wasn't sure how much longer this topic could have been drawn out for, though he was willing to let Sophia continue on as long as she wanted to. "Well I'm a 5th year Slytherin, if this was old times; we wouldn't be talking. But I don't like to believe in the old rivalries since we shouldn't let some old nonsense tell us that we can't be friends or date people because they're not in a specific house." At least at his old school, he didn't need to be entirely concerned about that since there weren't houses; it was just divided up by year which made things actually quite difficult.
Sophia nodded her head. As much as she loved being Italian and Italy itself, she didn't like standing out.
"Agreed." she said, smirking. A cool breeze blew by, causing the girl to shiver. She hated this weather. Why couldn't it just be warm year round? Although, if Sophia had realized how cold it was outside, she would have been smart and brought a hoodie.
"I don't believe in all that nonsense either. It's just silly." she said.
"My mom was a Slytherin and my dad was a Gryffindor, so that just sticks it to them." she said, laughing. She loved the irony of it all. The girl thought it was stupid that instead of working together, the old Gryffindors and Slytherins would just fight and hate each other. Just because two people are different, doesn't mean they can't be friends or love each other.
