She kind of liked the fact that everyone here spoke English. It was much less confusing than when she was at family gatherings and every other person was speaking a different language, only half of which she understood...

"Aurora Stewart-Quinn." she said, grinning as she shook his hand. "Third year." Not enough people shook hands nowadays, honestly, way too many people had actually hugged her when they introduced themselves. And she didn't like that.

Of course one person had to bring her round from unconsciousness before they introduced themselves but... nevermind about that.

Pssh. Made sense, right, since it was essentially a British school? João hardly held back himself from rolling his eyes. He could have told her that he did learn German, albeit only for a year... but he didn't feel like it. He didn't see himself talking to her in general, let alone in another language. If she spoke Portuguese, maybe, but German... she had an arrogant air. Sure, Slytherins should be arrogant anyway, but hers was just... off. Shame, really, she was even beautiful...

"Do you know Italian?" Wow. Now she impressed him, a little. Not many British could manage both German and Italian, pronouncing them understandibly. And her German pronunciation was nice enough. Maybe, if that was the case, she deserved another chance...

"Nice to meet you, Aurora." Weird name. Why did people have such eccentric names around here? "Is your hair natural?" Because also that was eccentric, the colour of it... he liked it.
