Cat ran her hand along the rough bark of the tree thoughtfully. "I think you're right there. I think Godric Gryffindor was probably more interested in building the walls tall and strong and all. Men like to protect things."

Like papas liked to protect their daughters, kings protected their nations. "It goes the same for women, sure, but I think men need to show it in bigger ways." Or was she just confusing the poor dear now? Sophie was smart, she knew, so if this girl was smart like that, surely she had followed.

She smiled at the other question. "No, I'm a Slytherin. Are you a Hufflepuff?"
Lana nodded. She stepped sideways over a tree root to be closer to the older girl before speaking. "I think so too. My dad does. And my brother. They're both very good at protecting things. I think Godric Gryffindor would have been the same way." So was that a boy thing? The older girl said it that way, so Lana thought she was probably right.

The next statement made her think a little more. Men need to show it in bigger ways. "Hm," she said quietly. "Like building big walls, right?" That's what she had said. "And a big castle. Maybe Helga Hufflepuff planted the tree to protect too. Mum says plants are good for you. I bet that's why it was planted. Because sometimes you don't need just walls, you need other things too." She patted the tree with her hand.

"Slytherin?" She repeated, interested. "No, I'm a Gryffindor." At this, she grinned proudly. "My name's Lana. I'm a first year."
