In fact he appreciated her straight shooter-ness " Mhmmm.. I'll be a first year when term starts. My sister's gonna be a second year too!.. Do ya know her?.. Rylee Prichard?!", Reese asked excitedly." No worries.. I wouldn't wanna hafta eat standin' up by myself all awkward either..", He added.
Watching his ice cream melt down his cone, she was glad she had decided to get her treat in a cup. Sure, the cone was one of the best parts, but she was never good at eating ice cream quickly and the day was too warm for a leisurely lick.
"Oh, yes! I do know Rylee! She's a Gryffindor." Her face lit up with excitement.
"That must be neat being able to go to school with your sister." Emmalyn had always wanted siblings. A little brother was at the top of her list.
"Do you think you will be a Gryffindor like she is?" Is that how it worked? She knew the Sorting Hat picked which house you were in, but she wasn't sure if it kept family members in the same house or not.
"Well, if you aren't in Gryffindor with your sister, I sure do hope you get Hufflepuff. It's such a wonderful house and everyone is so nice."
Scooping up another bite of her ice cream, she let the coolness melt over her tongue and then slowly travel down to her stomach. The day had gotten much warmer than she expected, and the cold ice cream was hitting the spot.
