After that we sat in silence for a little while again before Fred asked," So, Ella, are you a first year?" I laughed, "Oh, no, don't let my height fool you, I'm starting my fifth year." "Really?" asked Sydney, shaking her head as she came out of her day dream. "Why haven't I seen you around before then?"
"Oh, I have been home schooled by my Aunt Jennifer until this year." I said. "Really? What's home schooling like?" asked Fred. "It's really actually boring." I said, "You just go over the stuff a thousand times so you remember it. Nothing special." Both Sydney and Fred nodded.
"But, I'm dying to know, what's Hogwarts like? Public school, is it scary?" I asked. Sydney laughed while Fred just shook his head and said,"No, public school isn't scary. Unless your afraid of a lot of people." I laughed, "Good thing I'm not. So, how are they classes? Are the teachers fun? Is there a lot of work to do?"
Sydney laughed again at all my questions and said, "No, the teachers are nice, most of them aren't fun though. The classes can be fun, depending on what your doing that day and if you do all your homework then there isn't really a lot of work to do." Her eyes slid over to Ava as she said this.
"Stop looking at me like that." said Ava, her eyes not going off her page. "I know you think I need to do more homework but, I just don't see the point of doing homework." Sydney looked flabbergasted for a moment but, then Fred made a face at her that said that she knew how this would end and she shut her mouth.
I giggled slightly but then blushed when I saw Fred staring at me with his mouth hung open. "So, how do they do classes?" I asked, "Do they just randomly mix all the kids toghther?" Sydney shook her head. "No, they usuaslly do what year you are and then combine it with another house of the same year."
"House?" I asked confusedly. "Oh, that's right you don't know." she said, giving me a smile. "There are four houses in Hogwarts, they are like your family while your staying here. You stay mainly with your house after you get sorted into it." "Sorted?" "Being sorted is when they put a hat on you and it looks inside your head which then tells you which house you would be best in." Explained Fred.
I nodded. "And, what are the four houses?" "I'm in Gryffindor." said Fred proudly. "Where they brave dwell at heart." "I'm in Ravenclaw." said Sydney. "Where the cunning people go." "And I'm in Slytherin!" cried Ava, looking up from her notebook for the first time. "Where the bad people go." muttered Fred, loud enough for Ava to hear but, he was smiling. Ava glared at him and he put up his hands laughing saying, "I was kidding!"
