Gwen nodded as if she knew what Leah meant when she said Devon. She was sure it was supposed to put a place on the map, but there was nothing. For all she knew it could be anywhere. Ireland, Scotland, England...and anywhere in those categories. She wasn't even sure if it was a city or a county or whatever it was they called those over here, but she nodded anyway.

She grinned at the invitation. She had barely met this girl, and here she was inviting Gwen to spend some time at her place. See? She wasn't so bad at the friend thing after all. "Thanks. I'd invite you to come to America, but we actually just moved to London last year, which is why I'm at Hogwarts." And by 'we' she meant her stupid mother had dragged all of her siblings to live in a London flat that she would also not be inviting anyone to stay in. There wasn't even enough space for her family, let alone guests.

Gwen dodged the question about being smart. No. She wasn't. "You must be really kind and hard-working to be sorted into Hufflepuff." Speaking of being smart, an idea popped into Gwen's head. "Hey, have you finished the Transfiguration homework?" Because maybe they could work together?
