Lavender rolled her eyes and hoped this wouldn't lead to another "my house is better than your house" discussion. 
She'd only been a conscious part of the wizarding world for a few hours, and she was already getting fed up with this class struggle. Apparently muggles and wizards weren't that different after all.
She shrugged and said [color=ec008c][i]"My dad was in Hufflepuff, my mother in Ravenclaw. I have no preference, really. I'm just going to trust that whoever or whatever sorts us into our houses knows what they are doing."[/i][/color]She smiled at Jay and gazed at the snake in the boy's lap. [i][color=ec008c]"That really is a beauty. Her name suits her. She sparkles like a jewel."[/color][/i] She turned to April, who had become restless in her cage when the snake had revealed itself. She put one finger through the bars and stroked the bird's head while reaching for her last cauldron cake with her other hand. As she struggled to open the package, the bird recognized the cake and nipped at her finger. Lavender quickly pulled back her hand and offered the bird another piece of cake. April glanced at the snake for another few seconds, accepted the food and nibbled it. Lavender smiled and turned her attention back to the conversation around her.
