Well, at least, until the Sorting Hat had called her that at the start of term feast. "She's doin' lright. Gets alon' real well wiff my rat Ollie." It was pretty cute, seeing them curled up together.

She closed the door carefully behind her, before taking the seat Kitridge gestured to. "'m okay actually, 'm not used tah eating so much." At home she sometimes barely got one meal a day, so having three was quite the luxury. "'nless yah 'ave an 'ot choc'lit?" Because hot chocolate, she'd quickly decided, was awesome. Especially with marshmallows on top.

And she should probably say why she was here, shouldn't she? "I didn't grow up wiff many books," she started. "So I'm nervous 'bout de reading wiff my classes." As in...she couldn't read very well at all.


"Sam it is then." Leo repeated with a beam. He'd only call her Samantha if the situation called for a more formal address. Nodding still smiling he said "That's wonderful to hear. I didn't know pygmy puffs got along well with rats but your duo seems to be an excellent example that they can." Leo guessed that it was another story if the other creature saw the pygmy puff as its next meal.

Focus on Sam he had to admit that she surprised him. But he had gotten some information about her living situation. Smiling broadly he said "I do have hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies." Getting up he arrived back some minutes later with one steaming cup of hot chocolate and a tray of cookies. Putting the mug down in front of Samantha he said "Here you are Sam, drink, while its hot and eat some cookies!"

Sitting down in his chair again as Sam shared with him why she was there. Smiling Leo responded choosing his words. "Firstly its brave of you to come here and talk to me about what your nervous about Sam. Secondly if you want I can help you become better at reading? Give you some tutoring help? Does writing come easily to you?" Reading and writing was inter-connected after all.
