George listened, curious more than he possibly should have been for a Pure Blood wizard. 
"Want to know something funny?" He asked, picking up his own hand of cards. "I've never seen a farm before." George's entire family, cousins and all, lived in the city. The Nott family tree, much like any of Pure Blooded family, extended back into the Black Family. Of course there wasn't anything much of that family anymore. However, there were other cousins, families out there he shared Black blood with. Then again, there was surely a point where all Wizarding families shared Black blood. George shared it at least three times, he tried not to think of the implications. Preservation and all that. Now the more he thought about it, the worse his family sounded.

"I'm sure it can't have been that bad. You'll miss it over the winter." She probably go home for Christmas, then again, he probably should too. Mum was alone, and it wasn't like they were going to let Dad out any time soon, or at all. George finally placed down his first card, a Jack of Spades, a rather happy young man danced upon the card face, twisting a pipe around in his fingers. He'd show her chess at some point, merely for the comedic value and as she won't have seen it before. Well, that was if they were put into the same house. The last thing he wanted and needed was to be wearing the same colours as his father, not when George was sure he'd grow up to be the spitting image. 

"Sorting?" He rose an eyebrow and tried to describe it the same way his parents described. "There are four houses, like families that you can become part of. Except you don't choose them yourself. The Sorting Hat does that." He realised how vague he was being. "It's a hat that sits on your head and reads your mind and thoughts, deciding which qualities you have and which house you should go in." He said, taking another jelly bean. Tomato. "The houses are pretty cool, there Hufflepuff, Gryfindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." He hesitated on the final house, his stomach twisting. "Most people want to be in Gryfindor or Slytherin, most of the Pure Blood families have ended up in either of those."
