She finally took the last bite of sandwich, and licked her fingers carefully to get all the crumbs before rubbing her hands against her trousers. "So it gives yeh what yeh want, bu' only if y'av good intentions?" It was a pretty clever concept really, and one she approved of. It had a code. "Dat really is amazin'." It made her want to go find it already, for curiosity, not greed. "What else d'ya know 'bout the castle?" Genny seemed to know a LOT.

Sam could sense Genny had been a bit taken aback by her suggestion, and she glanced down at her feet momentarily. It was hard to get a sense of what people wanted here. Or, as in this case, what they didn't want. It was a social concept that was foreign to her. "Friends," she repeated, lifting her gaze with a wide smile to confirm. "I dunno about teachin' yeh much, bu' I'm a dab 'and at findin' me way roun' Landan." In case the Gryffindor ever needed a guide.
"Not all of us. Just five per dorm." And as far as she knew, there was no Dora among her dormmates. Wait, did she just reveal a House secret to a Ravenclaw? Would she lose points for that? Genny swallowed hoping to Godric it didn't because her nonexistent academic achievements were... well, nonexistent. "Okay. I'd like that." Meeting people over food helped the ice-breaking process go smoother.

Nodding along and feeling rather happy that Sam found this piece of information interesting to extend this conversation and ask Genny for more. "I know loads, my father was headmaster for years and he pretty much knew all of its secrets." He didn't reveal more than what the average student would know but Genny wasn't going to tell anyone that, of course, pft. "Like, the older kids hold secret parties in the Shrieking Shack." Mhmmmmm.

"Oh great, that'll do! We don't spend much time in London. We live in Scotland and we have relatives in Wales." So. See? Not very needed business in the muggle capital. "Do you have relatives anywhere else?"
