Setting up her bed with her pillow and blanket the way she liked it, Soph nodded to show that she was listening before laying down on her stomach and shoving her hand deep into her bag, pulling out a handful of sweets. "That's cool. Ambassadors, huh?" She wasn't entirely sure what that meant, but she smiled and nodded anyway as if she understood. Sure. She wouldn't press the matter any further. They'd only just met anyway, and she was sure she had to earn CB's trust over time if she didn't want to share details now. No big deal.
"Oh, yeah. Purebloods. M'dad's a Hit Wizard, and m'mum's a Herbologist. She works from home, so we have a massive greenhouse out back with all sorts cool things in there that she studies. An'yeah, I've always been here at Hogwarts. The lone Ravenclaw girl in our class, till now. Both of my parents were actually Gryffindors, by the way, and they thought I'd be one, too, so if I had gone that way, you'd be here all by yourself." Sophie shook her head. Shame, that would've been.
Sorting through her cauldron cakes, chocolate frogs, and various other sweets, Sophie noted, "All these are free game, by the way. This bag's loaded - like our own personal sweets shop. Should last us till the holidays. Anyway, Ravenclaw's great, though," she grinned, unwrapping a chocolate frog. "Y'should be glad you're here. Everyone's super nice and we're not all that cliquey and I can take you 'round to meet all the ones you'll really want to know, if you haven't already met 'em, like the prefects and our former Quidditch captain, Mo. He's cool. Like... everyone's big brother." She bit into the frog, then, and set the card off to the side without looking at it. Eyes narrowing in thought, she swallowed the chocolate and suddenly turned to ask, "You said sister - she's not homeschooled anymore then, yeah? She here, too?" Yeahhhh.. she hadn't really thought about how big the painted pig would get. Just sorta.. hoped she might reach the smallest weight for a pig of her breed which would probably be about the same size as her dog. But the average was probably closer now that she thought about it. "I'm not really sure how big a 35 pound pig will be but... i don't think i'll be able to put her on my bed anymore." Lifting her piggy was going to be a struggle.. "Oh yeah! Like a pillow-looking doggy bed. Maybe with her name on it." HOW CUTE. Good idea new roomie.
Can't pets stay little and cute forever? She nodded at the Ambassadors remark. "Uh-huh. Keeps them busy or whatever."
Ooh. Good. So she hadn't offended her on the first night. CB was pleased with herself. "Oh wow. That's super cool. A hit Wizard is kinda like an Auror, innit?" There's gotta be a difference though. She wondered if Sophie knew exactly what that difference was. "You must be really good at Herbology, then. Does she show you a lot of her stuff? Or are you not allowed in it because it's for her work?" Herbology was one of her favs. Next to Care of Magical Creatures and History of course. "That's too bad.. There's other girls in our year though, right?" Not that she needed any other female friends. Hallie was plenty enough and.. Well.. Sophie could fit the bill pretty well too in time. "Is it selfish to say i'm glad you're different?" GRIN. As much as she had wanted a room by herself.. This was gonna be fun. She could feel it.
Moving from her uncomfortable position to the bed, Coral's eyes wandered over to what Soph was doing before she got resituated. "Really? All of it? That's... Wow, that's really nice of you." Free candy????? Did she know how many brownie points she'd just gained???? Like all of them. CB nodded. "I haven't really met anyone but you so far. Well, not really. I talked briefly with a few people but didn't get any names." Like that kid in the common room. She nodded some more. "I'd really appreciate that." Meeting new people is kiiiindaaa... well.. nerve wracking? Without Hallie, really. "Hmm? Oh, yeah. My sister. She's.. in that yellow one. Hufflepuff, was it?"
