She went all red sometimes when she was embarrassed or when ~~Troll Boy~~ someone was around, but the girls hadn't done anything embarrassing and there weren't any ~~cute boys~~ part trolls in here. Nope.

The first year was still trying to figure out why the girls would go all red around her when Dora hugged her. She was super surprised; her big brother wasn't very fond of hugs, and she hadn't been around older girls before Hogwarts, since she didn't count grown ups. Emmeline hesitated for half a second before hugging Dora back. That was okay, right?

Dora's words were confusing too. What did she mean, the heart of the House? She didn't pump blood or anything, and she hadn't been a Gryffindor long enough for it to be a symbol. Creatures were definitely easier to understand than big kids; they said the weirdest things. Emmeline thought of all the hags and Dark wizards Derf had told her were hidden on staff; maybe Dora thought she was part vampire? "It's okay, I don't suck blood -- or pump it like hearts,"she assured the older girl. She paused, then added: "I'm not a Dark witch either, not like the Herbology professor." Just so Dora knew.

Dora blushed because she didn't know how to take a compliment really. Never had. And the only BOY who made Dora Umbridge blush just because he was around... well that was the one and only Casper Greenwood. Her better half. The nutella to her toast. Yeah man. But whatever. None of that was relevant. Heh.

When the smaller girl hugged her back she couldn't keep down the surge of pride within herself. Not at all. She was so stoked that the young lioness was showing such house spirit... and only hoped nothing broke her over the years. Or Dora would be forced to break someone's face. And other parts of their body, no doubt. Finally after a few moments the girl released her hold on the first year and moved to plop down on a nearby chair.

Oh man... Literal kid was literal. "I meant more it more metaphorically. Like you're the heart and soul of Gryffindor might mean that I just think that you're what this house embodies." And as she was about to launch into a more kid friendly explanation she was stopped short.

BLINK.

B L I N K.

"Wait... who told you Professor Myers is a Dark Wizard? I assure you he is not. I mean... I am certainly not his biggest fan, but he isn't Dark. Oh honey you can't believe everything Derf tells you," she said as she kept the amusement off of her face. Just barely. Like where did that kid get his hare brained ideas? "It would likely really hurt the Herbology professor if he knew people were spreading nasty rumors about him, too, ya know." Meaning don't go saying that to just anyone.
