Topic change! Though to one that usually made her frustrated. "I hate that knocker. It's so annoying to have to solve a stupid riddle every single time I want to get in the common room. That's why I carry a bag with me all the time. It holds all my books for the day so I don't have to go back to the common room very often." She kicked her bag to point it out. Then she picked up on something else he had said about Ravenclaws. "What? Cleverest? Ha. Noooo. I'm in Ravenclaw because I like learning. Actually I think it's mainly because I'm curious." she drifted off thinking. "... The Hat almost put me in Gryffindor even though I asked for Hufflepuff..." she remembered the Hat denying her the House she so badly wanted to place her in Ravenclaw and she smiled a bit. It did say that she would thank it one day, and well, Tora had gotten used to Ravenclaw over the last year. But Gryffindor. She was glad she wasn't one of them. They didn't give reason for bravery. They just simply were brave. Stupid things could happen to people who were stupidly brave... Her narrow escape sometimes scared her.

She shook her head a bit to dispel all those scary thoughts and looked at Forrest. "Did you want Hufflepuff? Or were you rooting for another house?"

Forrest was 90% sure Bristol wouldn't mind, but asking wouldn't kill either. He nodded at the suggestion. It was going to be the first thing he would ask when he saw her again.

Wow. This was the first time Forrest got this reaction... though, it was also the first time he'd questioned this. He felt her annoyance, though. Luckily, their entrance was so simple. "That sounds awfully annoying, yes. Then, it's a wise thing to carry all your books," he agreed. Not that Tora needed his approval, and it wasn't. He just appreciated her logic. He wondered whether all Ravenclaws were clever. All that he'd met were... maybe, except for Benjamin/Benzi.

Oh. That was new. Someone who denied being clever, but rather described herself as 'likes learning'. He grinned. She wasn't that arrogant, after all, although she did look so on train. She was actually pretty nice to speak to. "I'm hearin' this for the first time. But I suppose that's what makes you clever?" Yeah. Asking questions. He hardly asked any questions if he wasn't 500% interested in the topic.

What. She wanted Hufflepuff?! Although she hated them, she was secretly a Gryffindor?!?!?! He blinked with an open mouth. Wow. "I thought you hated Gryffindors... I think you're the first person--no, second-" because he'd met Fern before, "-person to want Hufflepuff." He grinned. "To be honest, Hufflepuff was the last house in my want-list. They said it was the house of loyal. I wanted to be a Gryffindor. But the Hat'd barely touched my head when it roared Hufflepuff. It didn't even think." If hats could think. He didn't know what was up with that one. "But I saw it last year that Hufflepuff isn't just about 'loyalty'. It's much deeper, and I'm grateful to Hat for sorting me there." Emotional? So what. He'd made more friends in a year than he'd managed in all the years before.

"Shall we wander around? I'll carry your bag too." Since she admitted herself she was carrying all her books. Since the weather was still cooperative.
