Between the moving staircases and the Forest of Death and secret passages that could cave in at any time...
"So like...hall monitors?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Glorified hall monitors, it sounded like. She was sort of glad that they didn't have something like that. She didn't need people constantly following her, wondering what she was up to.
"Aurora Chae," she said with a smile, shaking the girl's hand in return. "Oh? Have you been there?" she asked. That was odd, for a Hogwarts student to visit Ilvermorny - half their school seemed to be flocking HERE in recent years...
"Good!" she said seriously, though not in a chastising way.
"You probably won't believe me, but I was literally carried into that forest by a hag who wanted to kill me. She dragged me and a Hufflepuff boy into the woods and would have eaten us if we hadn't been rescued. I'm not inventing that, you can ask a professor if you don't believe me." Because of course she wouldn't blame her if she didn't believe her, it was so strange.
Hall monitors?
"Yeah...I suppose so. We're hall monitors." That was accurate, although she hadn't thought of it before like that.
"But you don't have them? Wow, your school must be much safer than ours!"
She shook Aurora's hand and smiled.
"I've never been there, but I'd love to. I've read all about your schools history, how one of its founders was a Muggle. You wouldn't have anyway of knowing this, but I'm kind of a radial here at Hogwarts because I'm anti-Statute. I'm sure that's also radical in America, but I think Ilvermorny would be a better debate ground." "By the way, I won't only be cheering for Hogwarts at the Standoff. I cheer for everyone." She smiled conspiratorially as she said that last part.
