She was doing a terrible job explaining herself. And now she'd even went to make it seem like she was blackmailing the girl??? Wait? She was just hungry and she hadn't exactly made friends with any house elves to sneak her extra food from the kitchens. Where'd this girl get the sandwich anyway? Also how'd she forget her manners? She was typically better than that.

"I ... " was speechless at the girl's sass. "Are you like ... muggleborn or something?" Cause like she never heard of de-gnoming or the rules about the quidditch pitch picnicking so maybe. "I'm sorry. I think I got a little overzealous. See my father was very proactive about us not eating on the quidditch pitch ... but just so you know, the name is Emma, not hun."

Sloane watched with amusement as the girl almost seemed to get slightly tongue-tied as she replied. One of the pros that came with hangout with adults all of the time was that you pick up a few quick retorts ~~although that was one of the few positives~~. Nodding, she finishes her first sandwich, picked up a few of the crumbs, threw them in the foil that had been keeping her sandwiches safe and then rolled it into a ball and threw it back into her backpack. "Huh. I guess you make a valid point." It wasn't like she intended to mess with this pitch or whatever, although Quiddditch would be a lot more fun with gnomes running around on the pitch. "so explain this to me. Why is a match postponed for gnomes which are on the ground...if the match is played in the air? That makes no sense at all".

Noticing the speechless expression, Sloane actually laughed and waved her hand in the air. "It's fine. I mean, it's not because you kind of were rude and did try and blackmail me but that's pretty cool honestly." Someone who could walk up to another stranger, act all rude and then try and blackmail them was okay in Sloane's book. "I'm muggleborn, yeah," although she didn't really appreciate the question. Frowning a little, she shrugged and continued "I don't see how that should make a difference though If I am." In reality, she knew it would make a bit of a difference because she simply knew less than those who had lived in the wizarding world for longer, but she wasn't ready to admit that, especially right now. "It's nice to meet you, hun. My name's Sloane." Ooops. That had slipped out, accidentally on purpose. She did hold out a sandwich for Emma however as a peace offering.
