It could be rather difficult to explain, so she wouldn't go into everything; Tessa was bound to get confused. "The founders had wanted to build a school, and that dream could have been seen as a sign as to where to build it and what to name it." Of course none of this was a certain fact.
Since there were no more questions, Rosalyn assumed that meant it was time for her to go on. "I suppose you have heard about the Chamber of Secrets? That's the most interesting thing associated with Salazar Slytherin - well, that and the fact that he could speak to snakes." Which tied into the Chamber of Secrets... "As for Godric Gryffindor, he was an exceptional dueller, both of the muggle and wizarding variety, though he preferred using a sword." So basically he preferred doing it the muggle way as opposed to with magic.
She blinked and tilted her head, looking at the professor.
"Meanings? Symbolisms?" Tessa shook her head slightly, obviously confused.
"How can dreams have meanings and symbolisms?" Contessa glanced up at the professor and chewed slightly on her thumb nail.
"They are just silly little things that happen when you sleep... right?" Uncertainty showed.
"Why would any one want to follow a warty hog anyways? Arent they disgusting creatures?" She made a face, wrinkling her nose. She swung her feet, not liking sitting still but she was careful not to kick the professor.
She nodded.
"Yeah, the chamber of secrets had that HUUUUUUUUUGE snake in it that could kill people..." She leaned in, interested in her house founder.
"Can you learn how to speak to snakes or is it just like a family thing?" Because it would be EXTREMELY cool if she could talk to snakes. Yep, she would be a cool Slytherin!
She listened to what she said about Godric Gryffindor. She looked at her and nodded.
"Swords are awesome..." She hopped out of her seat for a few moments and waved around her wand, acting like she was sword fighting. She sat back down and looked at the professor.
"I can see why he would like using a sword thoooooough..." She trailed off, twirling her wand between her fingers before putting it back where she had it.
"Isnt using a wand and magic safer? Wouldn't you have more control over it and you can use it farther away..." She glanced down, tapping her chin with her finger, thinking about which one she would like better.
