"No snacks? Lame," she teased lightly as she pulled out a bag of spicy nacho cheese Doritos out of her bag. "Lucky for you, I've got us covered." For now. A snack trolley visit would be happening.
Oooh. A fellow first year. What a relief. She hadn't met anyone else yet who was new to all this. She wondered privately if his parents were magical or if he was from a normal muggle family like her. She hadn't even been able to tell her parents yet - all their mail was monitored and if she just told them in person with no proof who knows how concerned they'd be for her mental wellbeing. "Yeah, it's my first year too. I'm a muggleborn." The last sentence was said with pride.
'Lame.' Did Eden actually think he was lame for not having snacks? Or was he just thinking too hard? Either way, when she pulled out the Doritos and said he could have some, he relaxed into the back of his seat.
"Oh, thank God for normal snacks. Er, muggle snacks, I guess. I keep messing that up."
Quinn smiled. He was glad he would have a friend in his own grade. If she wanted him to be her friend, that is.
"I'm, um... I think I'm considered a half-blood? That's what I was told, at least, but I don't really know how all that works. But my dad's a muggle, and my mom's a... squib? Yeah, a squib. She didn't think I would have magic so she raised me like a muggle, but then a year ago we found out I did have magic, and now... we're here." Quinn sat for a second, then sighed.
"Jeez, sorry, I rambled again, I have a habit of doing that..." when I'm nervous, which is all the time, he thought.
