[i]"I didn't even mean it like that you simpleton. Can you not even understand English?"[/i] When she said 'lets talk about something else, she meant lets [i]not[/i] talk about the [i]rumors[/i]. Not Willow. She kept her thought to herself though, other than a quick small frown at Sam. No need to be confrontational here.

[b]"Hey since we're friends now,"[/b] She said to Willow after Sam. [b]"I could have the Slytherins ease up on you too. I have some pretty big pull with them."[/b] It was the truth. She may only be a fourth year, but she did have a lot of favor with her housemates, even the older ones. That said, she would just tell them not to say anything within ear shot of her. She didn't need them to stop talking all together, just stop talking around her, and to make her feel...more welcome.

[b]"But like I said, lets not talk about such a dreary subject like nasty, untrue rumors. Lets talk about..."[/b] She paused for a moment as she thought of a suitable subject for them. She didn't really know the two Gryffindors that well, aside from the obvious popularity of Sam and Willow's shyness. So what would be a good subject? [b]"Oh, I know! how about our classes?"[/b] She excitedly suggested. Before she could get an answer though, the compartment door opened, and another Slytherin was standing there. It took her a moment to place him, but she managed to recall his name. He was a second year, a boy by the name of Isaak.

[b]"Oh, Isaak! I don't mind if Samantha or Willow doesn't. Just be nice."[/b] She replied to him when he questioned if he could sit in them. She didn't know much about Isaak, as they hadn't had much interactions in the past. She motioned that he could take a seat next to her, if he so wished. She couldn't help but to find the situation a little humorous. two Slytherins and two Gryffindors riding in the same compartment, not trying to kill each other. [b]"Girls, this is Isaak. He's a second year Slytherin."[/b] She said, giving him a friendly introduction.

[b]"Now, back to what I was saying earlier. You both are fifth years right? What classes did you take during your fourth year? I'm taking Care of Magical Creatures and Study of Ancient Runes. Any tips you could pass to a fourth year?"[/b]
