Just like Elodie was. But Mama Tam had been much like a mother, or a female family member to Els as she grew up anyway.

Still. Elodie liked being the only one. And the only one to be awesome enough to get a nice badge to say thanks for being perfect. Perfect. Prefect. Oosh.

"I think you're going to do fine in Hufflepuff, Hallie. See. They both begin with the same letter, and we're incredibly close to the kitchens. I can show you how to get into those tomorrow if you'd like." And if she wanted to see anything else, especially the walk to the Ravenclaw tower, then Els would show her that too.

All inclusive.
"I have cousins who were all Hufflepuffs....But no one in my direct family ever talked about going to Hogwarts before, so I don't really know anyone else's house." Hallie nodded three times and gave Elodie a sympathetic look. "That must have been so hard...And look at you now, you're all tall and pretty and prefect. Maybe I'll be like you if I work hard." Hallie was a very ambitious person. She'd been steely and determined and hard-working her whole life. She could certainly get herself a prestigious position here if she tried hard enough.

Hallie smiled her first real smile of the day. "I'd love that," she affirmed sincerely at the mention of the kitchens. She could show Coral and not mention that she hadn't figured it out on her own.
