She listened...they were in opposite families! Weird! And Ravenclaws...brilliant? That made Elliot feel a bit better, seeing as she was a brilliant person. Mostly. Usually.
"My father wanted me to be a Slytherin. His whole family has been snakes for ages.," she replied, rolling her eyes. "Ironic, eh?" she added, seeing as the other girl's father wanted her to be in Ravenclaw, and Elliot's wanted her to be a snake! "He's going to be furious...wish he felt like your dad."
Elliot disliked this talk of houses...she was feeling rather ill. The other girl seemed nice enough, much nicer than Elliot.
Eris' warm eyes traced the icy ones, she couldn't help feeling a bit of sympathy for the other first year. Which was a relatively new kind of feeling to the fun-first girl, brushing it off as just understanding. Then again, Eris knew next to nothing about Slytherin...and all Eris knew was about Ravencalw really.
"All I learned really is that Slytherins are cunning...and they say pureblood...but not all of use are that way." Eris was indeed a pureblood, but there were even some muggleborn Slytherins within the common room walls.
She didn't know the girl's family, that was for sure, but it was hard to see a father not being proud of his daughter. "It would probably be expected for you to be in Slytherin..." Eris began thoughtfully, trying to think through her response, but lacking attention to her word choice, "So you probably have the heart and air of a Slytherin like your family, but are on a higher bar of wit and intelligence."
Really, Eris had heard to even get into the Ravenclaw commonroom you had to answer a riddle. "If anything he should be congratulating you" Eris added decisivly with a grin, "I'm Eris by the way, Eris Ashwin."
