Lucinda smiled politely as the new girls entered and talked amongst themselves. The family seemed to know Madam Malkin, a motherly sort of woman it seemed, but another woman - their sister - interrupted. [i]What must it be like to have siblings?[/i] Lucinda mused, she had always been surrounded by adults and their conversation. Bickering was seen as childish and frowned upon... yet these girls seemed to bond over it in some way. Childish though, Lucinda repeated to herself...it wasn't a property to be desired else why would adults grow out of it? Madam Malkin finished up.

[b]"Just you wait there dear."[/b] The ball of mauve said as she bustled to the backroom. 

The quietest of the girls had stepped up near her and was being measured up when their conversation turned to Lucinda. 

[b]"Hello"[/b]Lucinda returned the smile and extended a hand - it was already out before she remembered it wasn't normal for children - she left the hand in the air, not quite knowing what to do with it, whilst she continued the conversation.

[b]"Perhaps we will be in the same house, does your family have a trend?"[/b] Lucinda had always been interested in family trends in their hogwarts house, house personalities seeming to be taught even though siblings could be [i]so[/i] different.
