Though she wouldn't advise to jump at a conversation to that one just yet. "What would you like to know? We have great places to hangout. You'll have to check out the playground and the lake. The squid is always nice if you actually see him." She had once or twice. "I like looking out our common room window and watching the mermaids swimming in the lake." That was a fun way to do homework. []b "My favorite subject is actually Arithmancy, but all the classes can be fun and challenging depending on what you like."[/b] This one was very full of questions wasn't she. "Oh well I have an all girl band that we formed here. That's what I'm striving for at the moment, us to be famous." Yes little one know The Sirens... know them well.

The Head Girl seemed friendly. Really, Sinead had thought most of the people like that were in Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, but she supposed it wasn't a problem. Her own face remained all but blank as she listened to Natalia's description of the grounds with keen interest- not exactly the kind of information she had been after, but at this point anything about Hogwarts was welcome. Especially about the common room- nobody in her family was Slytherin, she hadn't even known it was by the lake. Somehow she didn't want to betray that ignorance, though; instead she skipped straight on to the later comment, her eyes lighting up.
"I want to start Arithmancy straight away. I was the best in my class at maths and I bet I will be at Arithmancy too." Her mother had told her not to boast, hadn't she? Especially not with new people. Oops.
"Maybe," she amended grudgingly. "Why do you want to be in a band when you could be an Arithmancer? My dad says they make loads of really important magical discoveries." Probably her mum would tell her off for saying that as well. Everyone had different talents and they weren't better or worse, just different.. blah, blah blah. Her mum was probably just jealous that she was a muggle and Sinead was a witch. Still, though, she should probably try to be polite; this was the Head Girl after all.
"I expect your band is good too," she tacked on the end somewhat feebly. How could it be, really? Wouldn't they already be famous if they were that good?

Was he what born? "What was that?" was that the word they kept saying at him on the streets of that one place? "I... don't know exactly? Is that not a personal question?" He felt like it was. It was as if the strange girl expected his entire family history as if that were simple.

Natalia. Head Girl. Which may or may not be something he cared about. That didn't need a comment, did it? He nodded an acknowledgement just in case.

So maybe it wasn't a slew. He was known to exaggerate. He just didn't really expect chatty so soon. He was still honestly concerned with the utensils singing. And why there wasn't a roof. Did anyone else notice that? WHO had an open air dining hall?!

Unlike Sinead, Slate didn't seem to show much interest in Natalia- or her, for that matter. And what kind of name was Slate, anyway? She assessed him with narrowed eyes for a moment, then shrugged.
"I don't see why it's personal. It doesn't matter and everyone will find out anyway. I bet you're muggle born if you don't even know what I mean, and you're looking at the hall loads like you've never seen magic before. I'm half blood- that means one of my parents is a wizard and one is a muggle. That means no magic. Like your parents. I guess." She flashed a smile as she saw him looking up at the ceiling- she hadn't exactly been surprised to see it herself, but it was something else in the flesh and still magic on a much larger scale than she'd seen it before. Hogwarts was a pretty exciting place to be in.
