The headmaster held out an open hand and offered the mint before popping one in his mouth.
A look did appear on his face when the girl mentioned that she didn't expect to like Hogwarts. Though the look quickly resided and he nodded his head at her explanation. The man couldn't say that he felt the same way at that age, but he did have a number of students in the past that had similar worries. But that all turned out to be great witches and wizards, as he expected the young one in front of him to be. "Dere is nothing to worry about, mah dear," he replied, smiling tenderly. "You have many years of schooling ahead. You will learn a lot about magic and do a phenomenal job, I am sure." There was a brief pause when the girl started rattling off all of the students she knew. The man couldn't help but chuckle at some of her commentary. "Well, it seems like you got off on da right foot. Friends are very important to have."
A second chuckle arose at the girl's attempt to pronounce the name of his school. He had to give her credit for trying, though. It wasn't as easy of a name to say in comparison to names like Hogwarts. "Uagadou," Sahnoun politely corrected. "We do things a little differently at Uagadou. Every school is different, with their own ways and secrets." He left it at that before moving on to the Gryffindor's final question. "Hmm. I see traits in myself from all of da Houses. Dough I dink the Sorting Hat would have placed me in Ravenclaw."
Bec looked at the mint in his hand before she took it and popped it in her mouth. She didn’t really like mint flavour but if the Headmaster himself gave you something, you took It out of politeness right? Besides, it was nice of him to share after she had done it as well.
The young Gryffindor listened to him talk but at the same time she was looking over at the Whomping Willow which had started to trash again. A student had probably tried to get close to it. Actually, she had been wondering how close she could get to the tree without getting hit and she was really resisting the urge to do it. How cool would it be to be able to do that right? She wondered IF anyone had ever tried. No not tried, she doubted she was the first with those thoughts. But succeeded? She watched the tree some more. She doubted that.
“That’s what the wandmaker said as well!” she exclaimed happily and she took out her wand for him to show.
“He too said that I would be a phenomenal witch if I work hard” she grinned, not thinking about he had probably told every customer the same story.
“Phoenix feather, see?” she held up her wand. She was quite proud of it.
“It doesn’t really listen to me though….” She added with a mumble but tucked the wand back in her holster.
“Oh right, I forgot about the secrets each school has. Does that mean they will erase your memory after you leave Hogwarts and go to the next school, Sir?” that wasn’t a strange question right? And when he answered her House question she nodded her head. Bec had somehow already thought that he’d be in Ravenclaw but she was surprised to hear that he could be fitted in every house. So he would have been a Hatstall.
“I’m a Gryffindor through and through. The Hat wasn’t even on my head and it shouted ‘Gryffindor’ I think that’s pretty amazing” “Headmaster?” she asked slowly, looking as if she was going to ask the most important question of all time. One that could change everyone’s views on life and how they live it.
“Do you put on your left or right shoe first?”
