As Leesha opened up a bit about her childhood, Harvey realised his mouth was slightly open. He closed it quickly. He didn't want to seem rude, but it was so interesting!
"So you're Muggleborn?" he asked, excited. "Is life as a Muggle really that different?" he realised how rude he must sound.
"Sorry, Leesha, I know that probably sounds weird. But I've only got witches and wizards in my family, and they only know witches and wizards, and I've always found Muggles really interesting. It's so hard for me to imagine life without magic I can't help but wonder what it's like. My family doesn't get it, not really, apart from my Dad's parents." he explained quickly, hoping she'd understand and she wouldn't find him... too weird.
“Coincidence, that’s all” spoke Leesha shrugging,
“It’s hard at a place like Hogwarts NOT to make new friends” added the first year while flipping through her textbook and reading some of the explanations for some signs and she needed to suppress a laugh because it all sounded so stupid and silly!
“Only time will learn I suppose” she said looking down at her textbook, not really believing it but what else was there to do?
A few minutes later when she had spoke about the stupid kids at home and that she didn’t wanted to go back there she saw that Harvey looked surprised, why was he surprised? Had he never seen a muggleborn before or was he just surprised to see a muggleborn being sorted in Slytherin? Well, whatever it was, she would show everybody that she was worth it to be a Slytherin and that she was better than everyone at home!
“Yes, I am” spoke Leesha a slowly, thinking back at her parents and the way she always had known that she was different. A life she didn’t wished to live anymore, she was a witch now and far better than everybody at home, well… Beside her parents of course, they were cool for muggles she decided.
“How am I supposed to know? I don’t know the difference because I haven’t a idea how you’ve grown up” she now frowned while speaking, she really didn’t knew and to be honest, she didn’t even have thought about it, learning about the magical world was already a lot to take and then she wasn’t even talking about the lessons at Hogwarts! No, she didn’t had thought about how some of the kids here at Hogwarts have grown up with their wizard families.
Listening to his next words she nodded to show that she wasn’t angry or anything like that.
“Well… I think that I need to disappoint you, muggles are boring and I can tell you that I’m not intended to go back to that live when I’m old enough to make my own decisions. I like my parents and family but the rest of the muggles around are just stupid and they never really understood me.” Leesha fell silent and didn’t wanted to sound too harsh while speaking about her opinions related to the muggles she had grown up with but she couldn’t help it to look down upon them. They never had accepted her and she never really had accepted them or even liked them! So yeah, there was a reason for her to be sorted into Slytherin.
