Lavender was listening to Brynn and Anna talking about houses and families and owls and smiled. She liked Brynn already and was happy she wasn't the only one new to all this.
She too had been reading Hogwarts, A History, and wasn't too keen on the idea of joining Slytherin. She had asked the head misstress about her parents, her father had been in Hufflepuff, her mother in Ravenclaw. Gryffindor didn't sound too bad, either, though she imagined she might be too thoughtful for that particular house.

Apparently forgotten by the other two, she smiled at the new boy and said, "That's a gorgeous ferret! I'm Lavender by the way, Lavender James. And this is April." Lavender pointed at the owl in her cage and smiled again. "Gosh, this is so exciting!"
