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."
Elliot nodded.
"I'm cunning...and pureblood. One of the oldest pureblood families in our world...still, I was placed here," she replied with her scowl. And yes, obviously it was expected for her to be in Slytherin! Elliot didn't let her impatience show, however. But what she was saying was making sense...she did have that snake heart, but she couldn't but notice that perhaps she was a better thinker than anyone in her family. She managed a small grin at the girl.
"
You're actually making me feel better...who would have thought?" She chuckled, for the first time today. Ah, introductions. Elliot's favorite part of conversations. Always.
"Well, Eris Ashwin, I am Elliot. Elliot Morganzo," she held out her hand, her eyes flashing with pride. Elliot loved her name...probably more than her little sister, Danni. Heh.
