"Same. That's why I came in here. I'm not really big into catching butterflies. That's more of my younger sister's thing," he said nodding in agreement. "Yeah, its pretty cool. For a second, I almost thought we weren't trapped in Hogwarts by a blizzard. It reminded me of home." The boy had grown incredibly homesick over the past few days as he was sure that his parents were probably worried sick because they hadn't received any letters from him in a while. Hopefully they'd get out of here before something bad happened, right? He dismissed the thought from his head and then focused on Sophie.

He gave her a kind smile and laughed. "Sure, I'd say that was not too bad. I'm not much of an athletic person. I'm more for studying and swimming," he added. Just imagine if you put Simon in a Quidditch match? Things would go horribly, horribly wrong. He'd probably score for the other team. "Yeah, its sad that we don't have Quidditch this year. I was looking forward to see Slytherin win."" Just because they were the best house.

"Grayson? I thought you were always with him," he said and had to restrain himself from wiggling his eyebrows suspiciously at his fellow She-Snake. Hmmm... Why on earth would Sophie be looking for Merlin? He smirked when she added the last bit. Uh huh. Sure, she was just looking for him 'just because'. Her and half the population of the school. Yes. Yes. He nodded very slowly at her. Anyway, as for her question. "Just because? Alright then....Well I did see him by the Go Kart Race but I think he may be over at the Waiting Area," he said with a friendlier smile gracing his lips. His blue eyes widened slightly when an idea popped into his head. Ooh... Smirk. "Maybe you could ask him to play Quidditch...? I don't know if he does."
