She turned and looked at the new arrival as she sat down before hearing her question. Rob got in there with an answer before she did but she nodded in agreement. "It's lovely to meet you," she went on to say politely. It genuinely was lovely to meet someone else though, and someone who also looked to be about their age.
It was always fairly nerve-wracking meeting new people, but she liked to think that she was fairly confident which would definitely help matters at a new school. Making friends was always somewhat of a challenge for anyone, let alone those starting a school at quite a late stage as the rest of the cohort would be well acquainted.
"So, what year are you in? And which house? My Mum's told me all about them." She couldn't help but ask the girl curiously, a big smile on her face as she did so. The girl hadn't quite had a chance to introduce herself quite yet but surely would do. Perhaps she would be able to give them some advice and so on! That would be massively helpful to both her and Rob.

Rob, Isla... and Tigger. Got it.
"Pleasure." She said simply and fluffed her hair.
"I'm Ruby." And suddenly she was getting all the questions and all the attention. Obvy she was fine with that.
"I'm going into my fifth year only I don't know what house yet, my brother and I are only just beginning at Hogwarts, we were homeschooled before." PAaaaause.
"But I know a ton about it already. My cousins went there AND one of my best friends in the world is a prefect." So she clearly had the inside scoop.
Gaaasp! Wait. Did that mean...?
"Are you both new too?" Listening as Isla spoke he nodded in agreement with Isla's questions. They were all things that he wanted to know too.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too Ruby." Rob replied with a gentlemanly smile.
"And yes, you can safely assume that we are both new as well. we just met a few days ago and I can't speak for anyone else, but for me it is a relief to have a friend here and not feel sort of like a loner."
It was quite obvious to Rob that Ruby knew the ins and outs of things and he could appreciate that.
"So what have you heard about the houses and how the sorting is done?"
