But these Slytherins, they were all different and just by looking at them you couldn't tell whether they were truly friendly or putting on a façade and secretly hated the sight of you. "Really?" she faked a shocked expression. "What's a dementor?" she asked, her face falling as she realised how stupid she sounded. Seriously, she had tried her best with summer reading but she still hadn't caught up completely.
"It's Welsh. My Da's Welsh but I'm Irish" Hence the accent. "But I like being called Gwen" although she obviously didn't have to call her that. It was her choice to call her whatever she wanted. She nodded at her statement. "You have magical blood even if your parents are both Muggles" Like her second eldest brother. "Yes. My ma remarried after her first husband left him" Hence why it took a few years for them to try for another child. "I have two younger brothers too. Twins" Yes. A household full of brothers, plus all the other Commune families. She was used to absolutely massive communities.
But the poor house elves. "Are you sure?" she asked biting her lip again. It didn't exactly seem like an appealing thing to be doing. It wouldn't take that much effort for everyone to do it themselves. Just a few spells and it would all be clean. "Thank you" she spoke, wide eyed as Aurora, whom had a lovely name, cleaned her plates and cutlery. It was fascinating wasn't it? This magic thing. Despite the fact she had seen her brothers perform magic many times before.
"Yes, really. Muahahaha." she chuckled.
"A dementor? They guard Azkaban. They're these things that sort of feed on fear and stuff, they make you really scared and the dementor's kiss is them sucking out your soul. I can't say much, I mean, you never see them. They're kept under control by the ministry." she said. Scary stuff.
"Hey, I have Irish family! My family name is 'Quinn' so, you know." she said, shrugging. She rarely ever went to Ireland, they spent most of their time in Germany, though sometimes her Irish accent made it through. Not that she had a distinct accent at all, it was a bizarre german/irish/upperclassbritish mix. She nodded, holding back a thought that had made it's way into her head
'But it's not as good...' She mentally reprimanded herself.
"Wow, I have a pretty cliche pureblood family... Parents, older sister, older brother. Nothing special. Twins? I always thought twins sounded really... difficult." she said.
"And my siblings are never home, I mean, my sister moved out and my brother has his own flat so it's like being an only child sometimes." she grinned, she loved having space and time alone.
Aurora nodded,
"Positive. We have house elves." she said.
"And they seem really happy." It was true. Especially Kittsa, and Kittsa did the most for the family. She finished cleaning Gwen's place setting and smiled.
"You're welcome." she said.
"So have you tried anything yet? And magic I mean." Aurora conjured her usual green and silver ribbons - only showing off a
little bit - and tied back her hair before stowing her wand back into it's holster.
