She remembered Simon giving her the full briefing on ALL of Hogwarts history throughout his years. She had been so envious of his abilities and adventures. She had always wanted to be like him as a child. "My brother, Simon, has magical abilities. He attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. He's the best."

"Beauxbatons is......" How could she put it? "French." It was its own special place. Everyone was beautiful there. She could have sworn that all the students were part Veela or something. She had so often felt like the ugly duckling with her unruly curly hair compared to the straight platinum blonde hair of some of the female students. "It's a Wizarding School in southern French. It's absolutely beautiful. Their academics are brilliant but it just didn't feel like home, ya know?" She hoped Hogwarts would feel like home. Olivia was more than fifty percent sure that it would be a good school for her. If Simon loved it, then there was an extremely high chance that she would LOVE it. "There's always something out of the usual that happens. For instance, there was a really bad winter my brother's third year there. So bad that they were snowed into the castle. Isn't that cool?" She paused, realising the pun. "No pun intended, of course. But then Professors and students worked together to find out the cause of why that was all happening. Brilliant."

Carissa heard the girls question and was puzzled. Who did the founders name their houses after. Then it clicked because she learned it in history class recently. "Oh they named it after creatures they had encountered. Like Thunderbird was after the founder Chadwick who was an intelligent but often temperamental boy. For argumentative but fiercely loyal Webster, it was the Wampus, a magical panther-like creature that was fast, strong and almost impossible to kill. For Isolt, it was, of course, the Horned Serpent that she still visited and with which she felt a strange sense of kinship." Carissa hoped she didn't sound like a nerd but she loved history. Carissa heard the names of their houses and now they sounded cooler than hers. They didn't sound....what was it? Goofy? Yeah goofy. "Well those house names sounds more awesome than mine that's for sure.." she muttered out loud.

She heard her brother Simon was sorted into Slytherin she said? She shrugged and was wondering what house she was gonna be sorted into. Then she had to ask this, "Well I heard a rumor mostly dark wizards were sorted into Slytherin. So does being sorted in Slytherin make you a dark wizard?" She was discovering that theory in her history class about other schools. Beauxbatons was french? "Sooo you went to a french school? Can you speak any french?" she was curious this one. Very curious indeed. So the unusual things that happen was they were snowed in a castle? She snorted with laughter. "Yeah...no. Not really cool. That sounds lame. I want to be able to play snowballs and make snow angels." Just her opinion.
