My father comes from a line of pure blood Slytherins, while my mother comes from a half blood family and she is in griffindor as is most of her family. Apparently there were big blows with both sides, so my parents were given two choices either to stay away, or to seperate as it was against their parents will especialy on my dads pure line. Well my parents decided to stay away and moved in to muggle suburbia. I had never heard of Hogwarts until aout a year a go when my parents sat me down and told me the whole story, start to finish. So year, sorry if i went on a bit. Its quite a big deal to me. Sorry" She hoped she had gone and bored the two listeners to death. She looked at both of them and smiled.
Ashley listened, sitting back in the seat and trying to seem interested. It wasn't that it was a boring story, it was just that nothing exciting was happening in it. It wasn't a very surprising story, either. He didn't have anything to say about it, choosing only to comment on the whole of it.
"So you do know about your family," he pointed out, because that was a great deal of information that he hadn't expected from someone who said they didn't know about their family. That was almost a biography, even.
"Wait, what's a muggle suburbia?" Okay, that part was interesting, just because he was trying to picture it, and really couldn't come up with a thing.

'Well, I wouldn't mind being a Ravenclaw, but my family all want me to be a Slytherin,' Gaby said, shrugging. 'To be honest, though, I'm not all that bothered about which house I'm in. They're all great,'
Soooo... awkward pause. This whole making friends thing was harder than Gaby had originally thought it would be, and she had no idea what to say next. Great. I must look like a complete moron, she thought to herself.
"Why does it matter to your family which you're in?" Ashley asked, just because it had come to mind. He was feeling a little better about this whole conversation thing, actually. At least, he thought that was a good question, anyway. Wasn't it? Maybe it wasn't, though. He thought some more, to find something else to talk about. "Do you have any brothers or sisters? Were they Slytherins?"
