She looked up when Edie asked her a question and shrugged. That seemed to be a popular thing to ask. "Oh, Hogwarts seems ok, I guess. Some of the classes are really hard though." She wasn't really sure what else to say on the subject.

Then Biff sat down with the three of them. He was still very complimentary to Jenn, but something about it bothered her. Was he like that with all the girls he's met or just her? She was afraid he'd get Jenn's hopes up.

She sighed when he mispronounced her name again. She had already corrected him once at the lake, would it be rude if she did it again? At that point she didn't care. Muriel sounded like an old lady's name and she was definitely not an old lady. Mariel had a nice ring to it, like bells or something. Ugh, did she really think that? Mariel rolled her eyes at the thought of her own nonsense. Oh and she was pretty sure he was saying Jenn's name wrong too, although she wasn't completely sure since she never called her by her full name. Well, Jenn either didn't notice or didn't mind and Mariel didn't think it was her place to say. Although she did think she'd have a talk with Jenn about the importance of potential boyfriends getting your name right. Frowning slightly, she looked up at Biff and said, "Please, my name is pronounced Mariel, not Muriel. You're making me feel like someone's Great Aunt or something."

She tried not to be rude anyway, but that was starting to annoy her. Feeling like it was probably in her best interest to now try to be nice, she added, "But you're welcome to join us..."
