"BRRR!" she said to no one in particular. Was it that cold earlier?
As she walked on she noticed a girl who was alone and who looked about her age who had climbed a tree. Excellent. That was right up AJ's alley. The first year leaped and drug herself up the tree next to the girl. "Is there such thing as a giant squid? How do you get it to come out? Does it talk? Have you ever seen it?" She rambled on as if it were completely normal to climb a tree and interrogate a stranger.
Hope had almost completely lost her focus in the book where out of nowhere there was someone next to her. She looked up at the girl over her book and just stared. This girl was definitely invading her personal space and time and what she really wanted to do was decide whether or not she should go old Hope and give the girl a long lecture or if she should just bite her tongue and be the new Hope and play nice.
"That's a stupid question. If you have ever read your textbooks, especially Hogwarts, A History, you would in fact know that there is a giant squid. No I have not seen him but from what I understand he can speak and he is very pleasant so long as you are pleasant in return." There. That answered the girls questions and was snarky and polite at the same time.
"Who are you?"
Yes, young one. Who are you and why have you invaded the space for which she had decided to hide in.
