"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?"

Why did Genny call him that, she asked? "'Cause she's weird," he answered over the redhead's laughter. And when that laughter subsided enough for her to say that he ought to take on the nickname Sharksy simply because there were two Sams, boy Sam rolled his eyes. He wasn't even going to dignify that with a response!

"It is a good name," he agreed. An amused smirk danced around his lips when he caught girl Sam throwing Genny a look. Hah! Smirk still fixed in place, he returned his eyes to his redhead friend and gave a tacit look of triumph.

There were times when Sam had to concentrate somewhat hard on deciphering girl Sam's accent. 'Sam' was safer than 'Samantha' on the street? That was what she'd said, yes? His brow furrowed slightly. That was an odd thing to say. "Mine's short for Samuel." Naturally, it wasn't short for Samantha too because that was a girl's name!

"I'd like Gryffindor, but I think I might be put in Ravenclaw, which I also wouldn't mind." He already knew Genny's answer to this. "How about you?"
"I don't think they keep him there. He was here first." Genny defended lightly before Sharksy suggested to use HER as a sacrifice. Aside from feeling deeply betrayed and furious at him suggesting that, it would be such a noble thing to do. Beside, she believed she was strong and she'd wrestle the giant squid and win the battle and emerge a hero from the lake. For now, she just frowned at him. The suggestion was cruel. CRUEL. They were friends no more.

Calling him Sharksy was harsh? Pffft, someone wasn't fit for the most courageous house of all. Genny missed the looks the girl Sam was giving her because she reached inside her pocket and was unwrapping a gummy wand to entertain herself with on this endless trip. She did, however, saw Sharksy being all smirky and triumphant. She frowned again at her NON-friend, confused. ?????

Sam was safer on the streets? Consider Genny VERY intrigued at that statement. "How come?" She chewed on her gummy wand, staring with curious eyes at Sam.
