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?"

"Ugh, no thanks," Caleb said with a chuckle, wrinkling his nose in disgust at the idea of a RAVENCLAW in the family. They just..weren't a Ravenclaw type of family. Then again, they weren't a Hufflepuff type of family either, and then Alex came along. Speaking of, Caleb had asked again about him, and he didn't mind at all. It was kind of fun talking about Uncle Alex. Everyone had to have the oddball in the family, yeah?

"It's ok, I don't think he ever really felt like PART of the family, and it turns out he really is only my half-uncle, if that makes sense," he explained. Yes, his father was not ACTUALLY Alexander Greingoth as they'd all thought. Once Alex found that out - well, he was off on his own path then. "And he travels because he harvests wood with runes for wand manufacturers," he explained. So it wasn't like he was just running around the world with no idea where he was going.

Ok, enough about HIS family...

"So are you...muggleborn?" he asked, hoping he didn't insult him. "I don't mean to pry, but it sounds like you're the only magical one in your family," he pointed out. If he was - he had to be the first muggleborn Slytherin like...EVER. Slytherins were almost ALWAYS halfblood or more.
