 Beth, Reese, Rylee & Oli Fluttery Pegasi
"Quinnlin, actually," she confirmed. "But Quinn for short." And only Quinn; not everyone had the immunity that Beth did against retaliation for undesired nicknames.
Now Quinn let the smile spread clearly across her face, but even that was more of a calculated decision than anything else. Still there was warmth to it, and oh so much pride. "Yes, we made it up," she beamed. "It's kinda our thing." She gave Reese a shrug.
It's not like it was all made up. Her parents really were awful enough to saddle her with such a name if it was fashionable enough. Her whole family was. One of her Grandmothers had the unfortunate name of Talulah, which Quinn had inherited as one of her two middle names. The key to any good story, or lie, or performance was knowing how best to use the truth.
"It's what I wish to do," Quinn, rather uncharacteristically, shared. "I want to write fiction." Or possibly act. Judging by Reese's surprise, her performance was quite possibly good enough for that. She didn't share that bit though. Wanting to be an actress was a bit of a cliche, and Quinn was definitely NOT a cliche.
Oh, the Boy's mum was a Ravenclaw? "Is it true the Ravenclaw common room has its own private library?" She had heard that, and that alone made being sorted into Ravenclaw as appealing as Slytherin. Maybe she could find a way to sneak into the Eagle's nest and copy all their books to her own.
She looked at Oli as well, as the girl had also mentioned her mum being a Ravenclaw.
She did not look to Rylee, however. Out of the two siblings, Quinn much preferred not to hear from the Girl.
Quinn watched the countryside sweep past silently for a bit. Were they close to the school yet? She was eager to get all that feast stuff out of the way so she could find the place in the castle with the best acoustics and see how her amazing her violin sounds.
