Dislike Slytherins? “It might be just a quidditch rivalry thing...” Eris tried her best to infer using the usual source of conflict between wizarding groups. Then again, what did the hat say Slytherin was? Something about cunning...well Eris sure was that, but she couldn’t seem to remember much more from the excitement of the sorting that seemed like a haze.
“The Hufflepuffs?” Eris restated as she gave it a moment of thought. “Kinda...they are supposed to be really sweet and loyal...like a puppy” the little witch continued speaking as she thought, but her cheeks tinted at the last part, “I mean...in a good way...they are nice” she tried to cover herself as she let out a small laugh. “Ravenclaws I was told are the wise ones that can think through anythings...” She added as that house was gloated about the most within her family.
Alice felt as if that came out wrong. She tried smoothing it over. "Probably. I hear Slytherin and Gryffindor have excellent players. I want to be a chaser, but I'm obviously too young."
"Hufflepuffs and puppies, what a cute comparison. My mum said her best friend was a Hufflepuff. Best friend a girl could have, I suppose."
Alice wondered if it was OK to ask about others sortings. "The hat told me that I would be a good Ravenclaw. What about you?"
