"Kate, you've probably explored a lot of the secret tunnels, like the one that leads to Hogsmeade?" Had she? "I bet you've been in the Chamber of Secrets, too."
He'd heard a LOT about that Chamber last term, especially in relation to the invading acromantula. He didn't bring it up now though, since she hadn't, and since their other companion seemed so positively excited for school. He exchanged a glance with Kate and then smiled back at Addelyn. "Hogwarts IS the best wizarding school in Europe, even the statistics say so," he informed her proudly. "It's a good thing you managed to convince your mum to go here!"
He'd had a bit of a struggle with his own mother, but in the end, his attendance at Hogwarts had been a no-brainer. Everyone else in the family had gone here, his parents had both taught here, and it would be 'bad for publicity' if he didn't attend, or something like that. So here he was. "Yep, I'm a first year," he admitted. "Hey, maybe we'll get Sorted in the same House." Him and Addelyn, that was. Maybe they'd even be Sorted into Kate's House???!?

Also Kate was a Ravenclaw! She remembered that house sticking out to her when she heard about the 4 different ones. After finding out that David was a first year, it also brought some relief to Adelynn as she would know someone at the sorting ceremony. "I'm hoping for Ravenclaw!" She then looked directly at David. "Ooh, and I hope you get Ravenclaw too! We could all hangout together in the Ravenclaw common room. I heard it has the prettiest view of the night sky!"
She then leaned back into her seat and sighed out of content. Her eyes were glossy with the idea of the different possibilities of adventures she would have this year. She knew it would be different from Beauxbatons, but a good different.
"I already know this year is going to be sweet!" Saying this reminded Adelynn of her bag of sweets she had gotten from Honeydukes earlier that day. She pulled it out of her satchel. And took a bite of a jelly slug. "Would either of you care for a Jelly Slug? Or some Fizzing Whizzbees?" She had brought plenty to share.
Kate raised her eyebrows in anticipation.
"Cool! I bet you know more places at Hogwarts than the seventh years do," she told David.
"That reminds me. We had this Cartography Club treasure hunt kind of thing at Hogwarts once, and I was on your mom's team. We explored the kitchens." She bet David knew all about those.
"It was pretty cool. The house elves came out to talk to us and show us their quarters." That had been the one time, besides Herbology class, that Kate got to really hang out with David's mom.
kate gave out a slight HUFF then.
"Speaking of that tunnel," she said, her face set into an expression of annoyance,
"exploring that tunnel got me a one-way trip to the Hospital Wing. That was---..." She paused, realizing this might be a sensitive subject to David. It was too late, though. She'd already said so much that she knew they would want to know what she was referring to.
"I got attacked by am army of spiders there. I bet it's a really cool place when it's not inhabited by creatures trying to eat you." And on that note, Adelynn now knew a bit about what happened last year.
David seemed so excited about Hogwarts and getting to go there, though, so Kate perked up.
"Oh, yeah! It's a great school!" she agreed. It suddenly occurred to her that she was the only one in here currently sorted into a house.
"You two would make great Ravenclaws! I can't wait to see where you'll end up!" Kate nodded along when Adelynn mentioned Ravenclaw's view of the night sky.
"Yeah! It's an awesome view!" See. They would be perfect Claws. Plus, Ravenclaw needed more housemates, since they'd had a lot of graduates leave them last year.
Kate shook her head.
"No, thank you. I've got some sweets, too," she said. She fished some out her pocket.
"You two are welcome to these, too."
