Huh. That was extremely well put. Althea smiled at that, extremely satisfied with Jessa's response. "You have no idea how many times I've thought that very same thing." The fifth year often found herself at a loss for words for the idiocy that surrounded her, and whenever she felt that way, thoughts of how she really wished she could resort into a different house plagued her. But, it didn't matter much at this point in her academic career. "It makes that you'd want to try anyway," she said with a slight nod of her head. Althea was terribly immature and prone to rash decisions, though she rarely found herself wanting to follow what others were doing, but she understood. At that age, teenagers were incredibly impressionable. "You'll find your groove anyway." She had no doubt about that.

While Althea wasn't one to advertise her father's restaurant to just anyone, she felt a strange kinship to the younger girl, which made her perk up once Jessa mentioned her birthday. "Birthday? You should definitely come then, we'll do something special for you." She was the favorite, after all; and her father wouldn't refuse her request if it meant that his restaurant was gaining traction from all over. A win-win, really. "You have? Huh, she's more popular than I thought," she mused out loud and chuckled after. Daisy did have a very magnetic pull to her, so she understood the appeal. "Of course she will. Daisy lives and breathes the sport." Which was a shame because Althea found it boring but would support her friend no matter what. "But I'll ask for both of you, if that's what you really want." It wouldn't be a big deal anyway, the more the merrier right?

Summers were also for hanging out with very interesting people, though Althea doubted Jessa had any sorts of ideas like that - did she? "I'm glad you don't fit the stereotype of your house; that would've been extremely dull." And she did not do well with dull and uninteresting. "What do you do over the summer then?" She wondered if Jessa continued her experiments outside of school too. The Ravenclaw was extremely quirky but also entertaining. Laughing lightly, she waved her hands, "Don't worry, I'll ask him. He'll do it, I promise." Just because she wasn't entirely happy with her idiot brother, didn't mean that she couldn't coerce him to help out someone in need. "The hands on type then, I like it. I'm the same way actually. There are a few things that aren't entirely hands on," like astronomy, for example, "but whenever I can apply a theory practically, it'll make sense to me."
