Surely the student population of Hogwarts wouldn’t be so big with only just pure and mixed blood witches and wizards going to school there. And most of the founders were very supportive of such.
Nadia nodded in confirmation as her companion responded to her news. It wasn’t like they were totally different. Well unless one was from a pure blood family that kept to themselves. “Been to the bowling alley at least once for a birthday,” she answered thinking back to past experiences. “But Florian’s is a regular stop whenever we’re in London. They have quite a few great flavors and very yummy.” And she wasn’t even the biggest sweet tooth in the family. “You should definitely check it out.”
Nora's thoughts wandered back to there being a possibility of other muggleborns at the school. It brought about an unexpected happiness and maybe even a calming feeling, too. She still didn't know how she'd discover who was who, though. She could always just look for the others who were just as lost and confused as she would likely be, though.
Oh, wait...wizarding children had birthday parties, too? Again, she wasn't sure exactly what she was expecting of wizarding people. Maybe that they'd be dressed like Merlin and spend their days swishing around a wand and nothing else? Picturing them bowling gave Nora something familiar to hang on to.
She realized she was too lost in thought and that the conversation had steered its way more toward the ice cream parlor.
"Oh, yeah, it's a definite stop on my list," she replied. She frowned as she remembered her school supply list.
"I better buy some of these things, too, or my mom's not going to be too happy with me." At least the ice cream would give her something to look forward to.
"So what are you looking forward to the most?" she asked. It'd be interesting to hear what someone more familiar with magic thought about the school.
"My mom tells me their groups called houses that I'll get sorted into. You know anything about that?" Nora didn't have a preference, because she knew just as much about one house as she did the other. That is to say...nothing.
