"I would have loved to try school on the West Coast. Our beaches were just colder!" he said with a laugh. "As do I," he said with a nod. "Luckily for her, she will be transferring into her 2nd year... so she'll have some more time to make friends while at Hogwarts."
"Oh." Well, that made sense. Gryffindor was, so why not Slytherin? He sighed at the thought. There was so much to remember, and so little time. He nodded as she explained each one, but laughed as she made a face at Gryffindor. "Hey now! Gryffindor can't be all bad... after all, they put me in it," he said with a charming grin. This faded slightly as she talked about her family being in a particular house. "Well, its just different personality right? Its not like there's a rivalry..." he trailed off to see if she confirmed this.
Chris laughed at her excitement. "I would gladly teach you... however, I have to get it down myself first!" he added with a laugh. "As you saw, I wasn't quite so steady on my feet yet!" he continued, adding a wink to show it was alright to laugh at his expense. As he pocketed his wand, he nodded in agreement. "I love it. There are so many things that can get done with magic... and it leaves time for other activities..." as if to demonstrate, he threw the three balls up in the air once more to juggle a few rounds before catching them and smiling at Alex.
Alex smiled as Chris spoke, "She said she loved it, but she transferred here in her fifth year. I don't think she was to pleased about it at first, but she met her husband here, and now they are married, and live in the south of France with her little baby, so..I think it all worked out for her." Alex nodded, "Yes that should be enough time, I have been here for.. a few years myself." Her mind wandered for a moment, as she thought of all the friends she had made, as well as.. enemies. She hoped that no Torin followers would be after her this year.
Alex smiled a bit, "Aww you are A Gryffie too ehh?" She asked, her blonde head tilting a little. If she had known that boys as cute as he was were in her house, things wouldn't be so bad. "No, there is no rivalry really, I would just prefer to be in Slytherin with the rest of my family, as well as my twin." She shrugged. "I am not brave, or courageous.. I just don't fully understand why I am in this house." She shrugged, "That is all really. But hey we won the cup last year, so it's not all bad." She smiled, perhaps being a Gryffie won't be so bad this year..
Alex laughed as Chris winked at her, "Well, I am sure you would have been doing great, had it not been for me distracting you, but I can't blame you. I can tend to be very distracting." She giggled, showing that she wasn't stuck up, like her words had suggested. She was half Veela, it was just naturally known that she was beautiful.
She clapped as he juggled without dropping anything! "Bravo!!" She cheered. "Yes, it does leave time for more fun!" She said giggling.
