Kyle may have thought Maggie would have a hard time arguing with it, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try.

"I'll write Father." She hissed in Kyle's ear as Kyle started making his way toward the dorm. 

"That's fine, I'm in Slytherin though. He'll be happy enough about that, and Siobhan is still Pure Blood. You're friends with her brother. Just because she's in Gryffindor doesn't mean she's against the cause. It just means she's more brave than the rest of us." Kyle wasn't sure where he found the words, but they tumbled out as he stood up to his sister for the first time every. Her eyes narrowed, and he could see her calculating. "I'll play my part just fine." He pushed past his sister, he still had to pick up his bag and get it ready for the day before he went to class. 

"That's your sister?" Sam asked catching up with Kyle after Maggie split away from him. Kyle nodded. "So you're friends with the sister of Alistair MacFusty, and your sister is Maggie McCarthy." Kyle nodded again. "She may be a Gryffindor, but that's some serious credentials you've got." Kyle shrugged picked up his bag. His nonchalant attitude about the situation gave him a presence, one the other first year Slytherin's looked up too. It was a strange almost instant popularity.
