The long pause didn't go unnoticed by Zelena but she didn't give any indication. "Nice to meet you, Dora." The surname seemed vaguely familiar. "Are you related to a Dolores Umbridge?"

Zelena could feel her nose starting to moisten and was immensely grateful when Dora offered her a hanky. "Thank you very much," the Slytherin said as she politely blew her nose.

Zelena breathed a sigh of relief as she felt her nose clear slightly. She pointed at Dora's belongings. "I see you're very good at Charms and Transfiguration. Are they your favourite subjects?"
She was SURE. Okay then. Dora didn't know what was a sniffle and what was Spattergroit, personally, but if she was sure, she was sure. Right? RIGHT! Watching her drink the water a small smile spread her lips. The Gryffindor liked helping people, she did. Not that she made that common knowledge... but ayyye.

"No. My father is not a Muggle. He is a Wizard. And so was my mum. I just have cousins who work in the Muggle world so we have things like that. Dead useful, they are," she said quietly. How could anyone think HER father was a Muggle?! "And yes, Dolores Umbridge is distantly related to my father. Not that it is a shining point in history." But what could they do about That? And Dora and her family strove every day to set themselves apart from that old troll.

Charms and Transfig. Hmmmm. "Actually, no. I prefer Defense and Herbology, but I reckon I am pretty good at wand work anyway." She gave a small chuckle and a shake of her head. "What about you? What are your favorite subjects?"
