"You don't know?" Really? Well okay. "There are four houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, Ravenclaw is like... the mad evil genius house" Soooo she proooobably wouldn't be one of THOSE. Ugh, Ruby was no genius. Maybe that was unfortunate. Would Nigel like her more if she ended up in his old house? "They all really like stupid puns for some reason, if they don't have the answers personally, they know who does." So that was useful. "They read a lot, but its usually really weird stuff. They like feeling smarter than you so sometimes they try and trap you into saying something that makes you sound dumb. I've heard some pretty interesting things go on in their common room." Brows. Like seriously. Ravenclaw were like a cult, right? She was almost sure of it.
"My best friends are in Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Gryffindors are crazy rebels who don't know when to shut up but that's why they're the life of the party. If you want a Gryffindor to do something you have to convince them it was their idea or they'll argue just for the sake of it. Hufflepuffs are sensitive and they share everything so they're good to have around. They're the hardest to pin down because somehow its like every Hufflepuff is completely different, but in their differentness they're all the same, y'know? They travel in packs." Pause. "Sometimes they're a little bit rabid, if you mess with what they think is theirs."
Ruby casually examined her painted nails and then looked at Rob and then Isla, and then back at Rob. "And then there is Slytherin. They're like soooo competitive. They want to be the best at everything, and they're usually really hot and they're excellent kissers. And if they aren't hot then they have some other kind of niche that they've fit themselves into so they can be the best at that. They are totally observant and they're good with words. If you want to know what is going on, ask a Slytherin. They have networks so they can know things." Well that was all she knew anyway. Shrug. "I don't really care what house I end up in, I look good in all the colours."
Oh and as for how it was done? "They put a hat on your head and it talks to you and tells you where you belong." Pause. "It BETTER not mess up my hair."

They put some old smelly, grubby talking hat on your head? Oh Lovely.... But the house information was useful, after hearing all that he was sure he had an Idea where he would end up. As Ruby mentioned the thing messing up her hair Rob reached for his trusty Madam Primpernelle's Hair freezing potion and offered it's use to Ruby. "Here this might help some." He shot her a cheeky grin. She was definitely a cool chick. He liked that.
Isla ran a hand through her curls as she listened to Ruby talk about the houses. It was most definitely informative! They all sounded so different in such interesting ways. Her Mum had been in Slytherin and her Dad Ravenclaw, so it could really go either way. They'd enjoyed their time at Hogwarts, however, for some reason they hadn't wanted to send her there straight away. They'd wanted to travel and they'd wanted their daughter to see the world instead of sticking to rainy Scotland month in, month out. They'd never really told her much about the school, not having felt the need to because they hadn't expected her ever to be going there. However, they'd quite under-estimated the persuasive power of their daughter.
She didn't really care which house that she was placed into to be honest. She knew that she'd be happy wherever regardless, to be honest, she was completely happy just having been accepted to attend Hogwarts. She'd worried that because she hadn't accepted to attend at age eleven, they wouldn't ever have wanted her. However, that clearly wasn't the case. And it was also nice to hear that someone else had been home-schooled like she had been. Her family life had never been normal, if anything, it had been slightly eccentric.
She laughed at the hair issues; hers had always been rather a mass of blonde curls that she could barely control, and so she wasn't too fussed. She did straighten it out now and then, but it usually took a lot of effort to do and so she didn't tend to bother on a day to day basis.
"
So you have a brother, hmm? Is he here too?" She asked curiously, wondering why she hadn't stuck with him. Yes, there were times when Isla could be... nosy? She would just settle on inquisitive because she hated the word nosy. It was just a part of her nature. "
I've always wanted a sibling. I don't know why though because everyone's always like 'why? they're so annoying!' but being an only child sucks sometimes. I had no-one to plot with growing up," she laughed.
