She'd always known her cousin was a nutter when it came to animals but it became so much more apparent after she adopted the little thing and was willing to get suspended for it. Though in all honesty, Lex would have gotten suspended for a baby dragon. Hell, she'd gotten suspended for less.
Hearing Hayden's question, she dropped the marker and sat straighter. It was something she'd wondered back when she was a Firstie too and even in her Second Year she still had a few questions about those blurred lines but she figured she had an answer by now. "I think.......I always had traits for the house is what it is. Like I wanted to be a Ravenclaw and I supposed I could have been shaped a Ravenclaw in some sense of the word if the hat put me there but I was already too much of a Gryffindor." Did she get it? "Thinking back at how I was even before I was sorted, I think I'd call the hat a nutter if it had put me somewhere else." So yeah, she did think the traits were already there. "I do think being sorted has made me more of a Gryffindor though. Being around like minded people, you kinda start rubbing off on them and them on you."
So it didn't sound like Hayden was a doubtful Puffer like a certain bestfriend she could mention but she didn't sound all that convinced either. "You've been here long enough. If after watching the houses and seeing how they work you don't think you'd fit anywhere else then chances are you probably wouldn't. The hat knows what it's doing." Unless she wasn't worried about the decision at all and was just curios. Curiousity wasn't a limited trait to begin with. Anyone with an active mind could possess it.
Magizoology. That sounded pretty interesting. The study of it, at least. Hayden didn't care much for physical labor, and Care of Magical Creatures wasn't her thing, but she did like learning about animals. The topic gave her another question, but she wasn't sure if it would be a good thing to ask. Hopefully.
"Do you know what you want to do after Hogwarts?"
Hayden nodded and considered what Lex was saying. It made sense, and that was sort of what she'd thought. But she also thought that the answer could vary depending on the person.
"That makes sense," she said thoughtfully.
"I do trust the hat's decision, I'm just curious as to how it comes to that decision." Also, what was the proper pronoun to use for the Sorting Hat?
