The way Genny's face turned red went unnoticed to Sam, thanks to the night sky, but he gaped slightly when she introduced him to the new girl as Sharksy. "No, no, my name's not Sharksy," he added hastily. Really, that made him sound like he was three, and he glared at Genny through the curtain of darkness. But his glaring was, in fact, quickly replaced by surprise when the new girl gave her name. "Er, really..?" He blinked. "My name's Sam, too." That made him feel somewhat awkward. Like, now there was girl Sam and boy Sam.
"We met recently." To answer girl Sam's question.

"... maybe it's always hungry? Which is why it eats kids? Maybe if we bring it food regularly it won't eat people?" Look at her making intelligent conclusions. Maybe she'd end up in Ravenclaw after all! Hah.
Hehehhehehehehe. Look at Sam (the boy) freaking out over a name. Hehhehehe. Genny looked very proud of herself for a moment before the new girl revealed her name. Now, Genny simply laaaaaughed loudly, "You're both Sams," very funny for some reason. "It would be fun for you two to end up in the same house." Grin. "Guess you'll have to take on Sharksy, huh?" To boy!Sam. Hehehhee.
Maybe she shouldn't have asked about the big squid. She looked over the side of the boat dubiously. "Keeping 'n 'ungry squid at 'ogwarts seems a bit weird. 'spec'ly if it eats kids." She'd keep her hands inside the boat from now on though, just in case. She quite liked having all her fingers.
"S'not? Why'd she call ya dat then? S'a bit 'arsh." She looked at Genny somewhat pointedly for an explanation, although her gaze through the darkness was broken as the boy announced his own name. So that's why she'd thought someone was calling her!
"Sam's a good name," she said with a nod and grin. She hadn't met another Sam before, and she thought it really cool she'd met an actual
boy Sam. As opposed to her just looking like a boy, that was. "It ain't
dat funny," she commented, shooting another look at Genny. They hadn't even left this side of the lake yet, and she was starting to wonder whether the girl was being contentious on purpose. "Short fa S'man'fa, ain't it?" she explained to boy Sam. "But Sam's safa on the street," and she'd forgotten how to spell Samantha anyways.
And they met recently. Well, that was uninformative, but she had no intention of prying. Instead, she picked up on Genny's house comment. "Da evver of ya know the 'ouse you wanna be in?"
