He nodded in agreement. Her reasoning made sense. Simon hadn't really seen snow much either when he was younger. Living in Melbourne, it rarely snowed. And besides, the snow would melt rather quickly so he never got to see the snow accumulate so much. "Where did you used to live? If you don't mind me asking. I used to live in Melbourne where we didn't really have any snow at all." If the snow was slightly warmer then perhaps Simon would enjoy it more. He preferred spending hot summer days on the beach than living in freezing winters.

Simon nodded, grinning. "Yes, I met them about the same time. Cutty in a Herbology Class. Ethan at the Treehouse. To be honest, there much more outgoing than me," he explained honestly. Yes. He was the quieter one. They had Ethan the Extrovert, Cutty the Balanced, and Simon the Introvert.

The boy blinked. A relative in Hufflepuff? He shook his head, confused. "No, I don't have any relatives that go to this school. I'm the only one in my whole family who has magical abilities," he explained to her. He nodded when she said that she'd do well. "I'm sure. I'm pretty certain that I would do well too after doing the required amount of study," he said and nodded. Because you couldn't cram all the studying into one night if you wanted to get a perfect score. The sorting hat said she was clever? He nodded. "That's very kind of the hat. Why wouldn't you be? Just cause you're not a Ravenclaw, doesn't mean you're clever or not." The Hat had informed Simon that he would needed to be more outgoing.

He raised his eyebrows when Agatha said that she liked had liked the class. Really!? He was rather taken aback by that answer because he had thought that it was a rather horrible class. Simon looked down at his snow covered feet and nodded. "It was interesting and rather confusing. It's not my favourite class here, but somehow my answers made sense to the Professor," he explained as he remembered Professor Domingo stopping by him and encouraging him to continue thinking more.


Agatha tried not ot make a face when he asked her where she had lived. "Brazil. I started studying magic there, two years ago." She told him, shrugging. "Hogwarts is much better." The girl added, looking up at Simon and nodding to emphasise her words. "It doesn't snow at all down there either, which I find boring." Their season were basically: dry and sunny or rain ALL day long. At least in Brasília. Boo. Boring. "I like how we can tell the seasons apart quite well here in the UK." Snow in the winter, flowers in sprind and all that jazz. Except for summer, which wasn't very hot, but she didn't mind.

The third year listened as the boy explained how he had met Cutty and Ethan. They were more outgoing than him? "If by that you mean you're quieter than Ethan, then that's good." Agatha stated, looking at Simon in the eyes. Was he quieter then? He seemed to be. Actually, this was the first time the girl ever heard Simon's voice. He was definitely quieter. Agatha approved. "Cutty's normal, though. It's fine if you're like him." The girl said truthfully. She wouldn't mind having someone else like Cutty around. That particular Mordaunt wasn't silly like the rest of the boys their age.

"You look like someone from that house." She explained. Ohhhh, he was a Muggleborn! Agatha looked at him curiously. "What's that like??" Having non-magical relatives must be the strangest thing ever. Not that Agatha was a pureblood, but she didn't have any close relatives that were Muggles. "You don't take Muggle Studies then, right?" Which meant she wouldn't be able to ask him what she had missed whenever she didn't attend a lesson. She'd have to remember that.

Doing the required amount of study... something Agatha was still supposed to do. "Yeah." She said like she was all caught up with homework and everything. She wasn't, though, but Simon didn't need to know that. Agatha liked his remark about cleverness. She totally took that as if he was saying she was clever and slightly lifted her head, proud. "That's true. I agree." Why, Simon was cleverer than the Ravenclaws she knew! See, this totally proved her theory that Slytherins were the best kind of people. They didn't need the others houses, really. Slytherins had all their traits and more. The girl did a hair flip, proud of her discovery.

She immediately fixed her scarf again, because the hair flip made some chill wind reach her neck and it was COLD. Brrrr. She stepped on top of the snow that started covering her feet. "To be honest, I still haven't met a bright Ravenclaw." ...She might be generalising a bit. Just a bit.

Simon looked surprised by the fact Agatha had liked Arithmancy. She wouldn't tell him it was mainly because of the teacher. Let him think she did well on the subject too. "Professor Domingo is really nice, I like her." Agatha nodded, hugging herself to get a bit warmer. "My... answers made sense as well." She guessed. The teacher didn't correct her or anything, so it was a good sign, right?

Merlin, was there a spell to make them feel less cold?? She kind of understood why people didn't like the snow so much.
