Piper was happily shoveling food into her mouth, when some one spoke up. She guessed he was talking to her since the other first years kept their heads down. She took the spoon out of her mouth and gulped down the rest of the food.<br/><br/>"Oh, yeah, it's great. Not as great as my mom's cooking though. She's the best, well, of course she is. Saying she was second rate to this would be an insult... Anyways, I'm Piper...A first year of course. " She replied. "You know, I've never really understood the diving of kids. To me it's so weird. I'm not used to the idea that you stick to one group of people. But I mean, I know not everyone is going to want to be friends with me. You know what else I don't get, why can't a dog be a familiar that is allowed at Hogwarts? I'm more of a dog person but my mom bought me a cat. I guess we get along pretty well, still I prefer dogs. " Piper finally looked up in thought. "Well, I guess I could see where having a dog might go wrong." She mumbled at last.
