"I think she is," she said, scanning the professor's desk, but then looked back at Samira. "I suppose you like Divination," the girl added, but it came out almost as a question. But then... Helena wondered who was going to replace the missing professors. And hopefully, the new Herbology professor is not going to be eaten by a plant or something... or whatever happened to the one she had never met.
Ah, the ship. Helena's smile faded instantly. "I did." She was not a big fan of the Daily Prophet, but who didn't hear about that? "I only hope they're not muggles." Because the last term was... uhhh. She didn't want to hear about muggles anymore.
Samira breathed a sigh of relief. Good. She looked at Helena when she mentioned Divination. She gave a half-shrug.
"Um, I don't know. I like Professor Bishop, because she's really patient and everything, and I guess Divination is interesting subject. I'm not saying I believe a lot of the stuff. I guess I do enjoy it. But the thing is..." OK, she would have to admit it.
"I really am rubish at Divination. I can't predict anything for my life."
That was the embarrassing truth. Samira was ashamed that she wasn't perfect at everything like her cousins. It irritated her and she was a little ashamed.
Samira nodded vigorously.
"I hope not, too!" Samira was
not very fond of Muggles. Neither was her family. They about pitched a fit when they heard the news of last term.

And with that, Rozanna sat up straighter, and smiled widely. No, she wasn't being fake, she genuinely wanted to give it a go because Slytherin was her new home, and there was nothing she could do to change that. "So maaaaybe... you could show me around the common room and stuff later." Actually, she didn't even know where the common room was in this place. She hoped it was high up, allowing a nice view of the lake or something. That would be lovely.
"I can't wait!" And she really couldn't wait to put her wand to use. Defence Against The Dark Arts would be a good one for that kind of magic. And Charms. Wheeee. "The classes at Beauxbatons were okay." Her face made a 'meh' expression. "A lot of the teachers were French, though. Was kinda hard to understand them." Anyway, that was the past. Rozan knew that the teachers here would be better. "What is your favourite class? Any teacher warnings?" Like, the mean ones? Hehe.
"Kinda, yeah." Rozanna scratched her head, still confused. "But... why is it there... and why is everyone freaking out?" A ship floating on water wasn't exactly ground-breaking news to her.
Samira felt her posture relax when she saw that Rozan had finally dropped the Slytherin bashing. A feeling of pride swelled up in Samira. It was the satisfaction of knowing it was she that changed Rozan's mind. She was Rozan's first Slytherin friend, and she knew first impressions were everything. She was extremely happy it was successful. At least, somewhat. Samira had a feeling that she and Rozan could become very good friends, so that's why when Rozan asked her to show her around later, Samira gave a wide, eager smile and nodded happily.
"I would love to!" The prospect of a new friend was exciting to Samira. Of course, she had plenty of friends, but not one specific
best friend. She only hesitated slightly at the thought of what Rozan's reaction would be when she found out they would be sleeping in the dungeons. It really wasn't as bad as it sounded. Samira actually liked sleeping under the lake. The lighting was comforting, and warming charms-which Samira was an expert on-made sure they were never cold. Buuuuut...she would wait to share that little detail...later.
Samira cocked her head to one side. Teacher warnings. Hmm...
"Well, all the teachers are really nice, in their own way. But you should be careful when you come across Professor Lafay. Also known as the Head of Slytherin House. But I think you'll be fine. She's not one to mess with, but if you do what you need to do in class and don't ask pointless questions, it'll be okay." And favorite class? Well, she didn't think Divination would count, since she was rubish at it. And she didn't like animals, or plants, or Muggles...
"My favorite class would have to be between Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Working with wands, anything to do with that." Samira liked the first hand action.
"What do you think you're most looking forward to?"
She stifled a giggle. It was true, a ship on the water wasn't that big of a deal, but there was more to it than that.
"That's the thing. No one knows why it's there. And it's not like it was cruising along on it's merry way. It appeared. There was no one on it, either. It's been searched for Dark Magic, and is supposedly clean, but a lot of people are apprehensive. Including me." Samira didn't know why, but it really freaked her out.
