So he at least thought she was wise. That was someone. Here she was and she couldn't even get into the common room half the time. "Thank you, by the way, for the compliment." Always be polite, that's what Gram taught her. Although polite didn't necessarily mean formal, for which Tora was glad, since she couldn't easily be friends with someone when she was caught up on formalities. Yeah, her formal voice and posture had been dropped a while back in the conversation.

What would make her clever? Carrying all her books or because she was curious and liked learning? See, she couldn't even figure out what a simple question was referring to. Clever. Huh. "Haha, well carrying all my books is a necessity, not clever, though nice clever point. And well, I guess being curious would make me cleverer, but if I was clever to start off I wouldn't need to be curious because I would just figure it out without asking." She laughed, her smile brightening up her face.

Hated Gryffindors... well not quite. "I only dislike their general attitude," she explained. "I don't necessarily hate them, but they usually go on adventures or are brave just to be... well... brave. I'm not like that, and I don't like being clumped into that group." She shifted a little uncomfortably on the bench. So what she didn't want to be a Gryffindor? "I'm grateful that the hat sorted me to where I am too." She gave a small smile.

"You said you wanted to be Gryffindor? Well, you don't seem like the type to do something stupid and brave just because... but then again the Hat placed you in Hufflepuff for a reason." Tora said analytically before adding, "You know, I've always wondered what it would be like to be a part of the huge Hufflepuff family. Maybe you could introduce me to more than just your friend." She suggested hopefully. Maybe she could still be a part of that family even though she was a Ravvie at heart. If she didn't scare them all away first. Already she had had a row with that new Ravenclaw first year brat. What was his name? Bonsai? No that was a tree/bush thingy. She was pretty positive he wasn't named after a tree, but it sounded a little like that... oh. Benzi. That idiot.

"It'd be nice to take a walk. And thanks," she said taking both his offers. "Though you should know that my Gram charmed the bag to be featherlight so it doesn't weigh a thing!" she laughed a bit and handed over the, disproportionally light, bag as she stood up. "Common, where to?" She asked, turning her head to look over her shoulder at Forrest. New friend and a big smile. Yes, it was definitely a good day.

Forrest nodded. "Yeah, it's probably the easiest." He didn't know how Slytherins' entrance was, and he had no intentions of going there to find out. Maybe he ought to ask Kahlan sometime. Hmm.

Compliment? What compliment? He didn't think it was a compliment. It was merely the truth... but in the end, he shrugged and grinned. "You're welcome." So she was actually a good person, after all, even though she looked a bit arrogant on the train.

"But you can't, say, know how a computer works by birth. You have to ask." Never mind if she didn't know what 'computer' was. He was sure she would understand the point. In the end she was just clever, whether she liked it or not. Hehe.

He looked up in the sky to think her comments about Gryffindors. He didn't think Alexa was brave just to look so. And Michael had been pretty responsible too... so he shrugged. "Alright." He was going to respect her idea. Maybe she had just seen that lot. Maybe if she'd met Alexa and Michael, she would change her mind.

If she said that a year ago, he would be pretty sad. But now, he saw her point and grinned. Because she had also said that he wasn't stupid, in a way. "Hat truly knows." Its magic still eluded him, but it knew.

...HEY, that was SUCH a GREAT idea! His face broke into a HUGE grin and he bounced with excitement. "Of course! There're Tobias, Asher and Kace too. You will LOVE them!" Then maybe she could have more than one BFF, like his Tobias and Bristol. YES! See? Definitely she was the clever one here.

Wow. Perks of coming from a wizard family. He blinked, dumbfounded, as he weighed the bag with his hand. It really was light... shrugging, he hung it from his shoulder. Still, he was the boy here. He should carry it. His parents taught him the coutesy rules well.

"Let's see if there's something new this year," he said and started to walk towards the lake with her.
