Oh right, FOR AN EXPERIMENT. "Oh so it was an experiment. What were your finding?" Hayden bounced on her feet once before reminding herself to calm down. They were just talking about the padding, or lack of, on the tapestry. It wasn't that important. But she was excited, because it was an experiment.
Oh right, they were introducing themselves. Hayden shook the hand Kate offered, and accompanied it with a big, cheerful smile. She liked meeting new people. There certainly wasn't a shortage of them at Hogwarts. So far, everyone she'd met was really nice so that was even better. "You guess?" She remembered her question about the houses and their traits, and she decided to question Kate about her house. "You're the first Ravenclaw I've met. How do you like it?" But then Kate had a question of her own for Hayden. "I like it well enough so far," she answered. "Everything's so big, and it just feels exciting to be here." She'd been looking forward to it her whole life, and she was finally there. "How about you?"
An experiment? Oooh yeah, it was an experiment! For science! "I thought that the tapestry might be padded and bouncy," Kate explained. "But I thought wrong. It's probably just brick under there."
Uh-oh she was asking about the Ravenclaws. Kate didn't know about the Ravenclaws. She barely knew any herself. But she had discovered that Ravenclaws were supposedly the smart, curious types. And that sort of described her. "I like it! Nobody judges me for reading!" Kate chirped happily. Yep, she might not have a lot of friends, but she at least felt welcome as a Ravenclaw.
But as for Hogwarts… "It sure is big and exciting," Kate agreed. "I learn something new every day. Who knew that pictures and staircases could move, or that there's been a giant school here for so long that none of the Muggles knew about? Talk about big secrets!" And she still wanted to learn how to use magic for specific things. Practical things, like cooking and transportation.
Kate smiled again and decided that she wanted to be friends with Hayden. Therefore, it was time to talk a lot. "I didn't know anything about magic or Hogwarts until I came here, so I've got a lot to learn. Have you done any fun exploring yet? Let's go adventuring!"
