So the girl was mute. It could be fun to toy with her if Acacia could get on her good side. After all, it wasn't like she'd have much...say in the matter should someone take away that little board of hers. Should be easy to fake an 'accident' with it that could get it damaged beyond use. Until she learned some other way to speak using magic, at least. She was quite certain there were a few spells that could help with that, and since this girl didn't know of any it was likely she was a muggle born who didn't have any experience with magic at all. The girls question merely confirmed her suspicions. Well, what better way to start a year than to toy with a first year? Acacia turned to Dani and gave her a friendly smile before answering her question.

[b]"Me? Hrmm...I want to finally learn some spells!"[/b] She excitedly stated, a huge grin coming across her face, leaning over a bit and possibly getting a bit to close to the other girl. Oops. [b]"I mean,"[/b] She continued, shaking her head and blushing slightly, looking back out the window. She hadn't meant to sound [i]that[/i] excited. While she certainly was excited for that, there was no need to advertise just how much she was. [b]"My older brothers talk about how great they both are, so I'm glad I'm finally going to get a chance to show them who the real boss is around the house."[/b] She chuckled mischievously, turning back to Dani. [b]"That, and I'm just glad to get away from them and my parents. I'll show them I'm ten times better than they are."[/b] Her tone suddenly took a slightly darker tone as she said that last bit. [b]"They just better hope I don't end up in Gryffindor..."[/b] She muttered, again expressing her distaste for the house.

[b]"Enough about me though!"[/b] She continued, whatever dark tone she had taken vanishing in an instant and replaced by her usual cheery tone. [b]"You're not from a magic family then? Well, I can tell you a lot of stuff if you have questions. My family has been coming to Hogwarts for generations and I practically know everything they do here. You know about the houses? Luke and I were discussing which ones we wanted to be in before you walked in on us."[/b]
