"And the food. The house elves are some great cooks." Typical boy answer, right? But it was true.

"What about you? There's gotta be a reason why you've stuck around here for five years." He turned toward her, bending his knees up.

When the younger boy asked his question, Dallin had to cover his mouth with his hand to hide his smile. A lost cat? He did try to remember if he had seen a stray cat around the castle, but came up blank. He couldn't help Ivory with this one.

"All very valid reasons." she agreed with a nod. "Especially about the pretty cool people," she added whimsically as she shrugged her shoulders and inadvertently pointed to herself with her thumbs. Because, she was cool right? Heh.

With a lopsided grin, Ivory tilted her head back eyes tracing the pattern on the domed ceiling painted with stars as she thought of the answer to his question. Why had she stayed?

Unconsciously, she sucked on her lower lip for a second biting it in thought before she realized that she was thinking on the fundamental, philosophical reasons when she could easily answer with the basics.

"My best friend's here, of course." she replied with a bright smile. Not here, here. But over on in the Hufflepuff common room. "And I love the grounds, and the library, and the way rather than being intimidating most of the time it just feels like a huge house...one you just happen to share with hundreds of other people." Hugging the pillow tighter to herself, she sighed. "And yes, the food. If you ever find yourself in the kitchen you've just got talk them into letting you try the baked potato soup. It's heavenly, really." Mmmm, soup.

"Oh, and the Professors." She added nodding matteroffactly. "A few of them have their quirks, but I must say they all try to teach their subject in the most unique of ways rather than straight from the book."

As he said that, Gavin realised he had no idea what happened to his trunk either... What did his mum say about that? He just couldn't remember. He was so tired.

"Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, where is my trunk? I saw my cat with my trunk last," he said, very unsure of himself.

He may be half-blood but all things considered, he may have known more about Hogwarts if he had been a muggle.

"With your trunk..." Well, that she could help with on the spot. Feeling a bit useful, she piped up. "Well, that you'll find right through those doors and up the steep stairs. All our belonging get automatically delivered to our dormitories." With a small nod, she continued as helpfully as she could. "She might be waiting for you there," Cats were intelligent like that. "Why don't you give the male dormitory a look around, and if she's not there then well then we'll get to looking."
