After all, what was she supposed to do, pass up on a perfect chance to make fun of someone? Not a chance. People have to learn to grow up sometime.
"Look, who gives a damn about what House your father was in? Mine was a Puff, but what difference does it make? Your House is about you," she said, emphatically jabbing a finger in his direction to drive her point home, "not about your family or anybody else." Although if she'd been anything but a Ravenclaw she might have hated and/or injured absolutely everyone around her, but thankfully Adrienne was Sorted into the only really sensible place for her, and she fit in as well as she ever could here.
"Oh yeah. They tend to be reasonably intelligent, so you can actually carry on a conversation, and they're usually not half as pretentious and just... ugh as all the Lions and Snakes are," she said, gesturing towards the respective tables as she did so and wrinkling her nose in their directions.
"Oh." He responded, kicking his feet underneath the table. Kyroh usually didn't care for people teasing him, especially people he didn't know.
Who gives a...Kyrohs eyes opened up.
She swore. SHE SWORE SHE DID!
He looked around trying to see if anyone else had heard her utter the bad word, but it didn't seem like it. Maybe you were just allowed to swear at Hogwarts? Well if there were no parents around and only Professors around sometimes they couldn't check to make sure kids weren't saying bad words all the time right?
Woah. Was that cool? He wasn't even sure.
"You just said a bad word." Did she even know?
Her words almost went completely over his head until she made a sudden poking gesture, grabbing his attention again.
The girls dad was a Hufflepuff? It had never occurred to him that maybe some other people at Hogwarts were in houses that they parents weren't in. That had to be the case right? So his dad couldn't be upset right? He was still like him sometimes!
"I like conversations." He paused.
"And I don't want to be pretentious." Especially considering the fact that he had no clue what that word meant and he'd have to look it up later.
"Do Ravenclaws not like the Lions and Snakes?" Was that like nicknames for Gryffindors and Slytherins?
But suddenly being not being a Slytherin didn't seem too bad.
Kyroh just stared at the girl and suddenly a small smile crept onto his face.
"I think I might like Ravenclaw." This girl didn't make it sound too bad Whaat. And he didn't even know her name!
"I'm Kyroh by the way, what's your name?"
