Simon smiled as Caleb said that Australia was cool. Oh yes, it was an awesome place to live: the food was delicious and the beaches were so much better. He raised his eyebrows curiously when Caleb informed him that his family had been going there for many years. So he and his twin had legacy right? It seemed like it with a family filled with Gryffindors and Slytherins. "All you need is a Ravenclaw in your family and then you'll have all the houses taken care of," he said with a wide grin because the Ravenclaws were pretty cool. He figured that he would have been one if not for the Sorting Hat seeing how much ambitious and cunning he was. "I'm the only one in my family to come to Hogwarts. I hope my sister discovers that she has magic because I have a feeling that she'd love this place. Also it would be nice to have someone who understands magic in the family," he added with a chuckle. It was hard trying to explain all of these concepts to his parents. His mum wouldn't remember half of it and his father didn't understand it simply. Simon's brother just didn't want to listen. Oh well, family.

Now onto Caleb's Uncle. "That's a sad. Were you close to him? Sorry if that's too personal of a question- you don't have to answer it if you don't want to. I'd understand.." he began rather awkwardly and then tried being optimistic with his dormmate. "Hopefully you'll hear from him soon?"
