"That's neat. I bet he'll be thrilled when you write home to him about it--if you decide to." She didn't presume to know the relationship others had with their parents. Her years had taught her to expect the unexpected even in the most mundane situations. You just never knew, y'know? "Dad's family was all Slytherin, til my sister got Gryffindor and now me with Ravenclaw. I'm pretty sure my grandparents were less distressed with my placement than hers though."

The silence didn't go unnoticed, but rather than try to fill it, Jessa allowed the girl to gather her thoughts. It could all be a little overwhelming if you really thought about it and there were certainly a lot of things to internalize while all....this happened around them.

The Third Year gave a firm nod at the next question, not nearly as bummed as she used to be by the process. "Don't worry about it, I'm not that great at them either. Too literal for my own good half the time but there's always others willing to help. I've been locked out a couple times. Just gotta wait for a housemate to come by, they'll help you get in."

Unless they didn't know the answer either in which case you'd have to wait for another other housemate.
