Hell, Jack still had a lot of questions himself. It wasn't as if when he returned for the summers he stayed within the wizarding world. Jack returned home to his nonmagical origins with only letters, hangouts with friends, and the Daily Prophet to keep him connected to when he was home. He retained a friendly smile as Robbie expressed he had no idea what he'd be good or bad at. Which made sense, he had no experience to be able to guess, but Jack nodded and hoped that'd be enough that if Robbie remembered the offer was still on the table to him.<br/><br/>"Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder," Jack said with a light laugh. Maybe everything is so new you're just being drawn to the ones you like and haven't taken the full scope of everyone? Or perhaps..." Jack suggested politely, before pausing. "You just find all witches attractive? He offered another take on Robbie's experience so far.<br/><br/>Everyone wanted to see a dragon or a werewolf until they were being burned or being chased, but what did danger matter to a fantasy? Jack had enough wisdom to know that there was danger in it, but if he were perfectly honest with himself, if he suspected if a dragon was right in front of him he'd probably go and see if it was hostile himself. The chance that it wasn't and he could go forward knowing he'd petted a dragon when half of his life he didn't believe they were real? It was one of those bucket list items for Jack no doubt. The conversation didn't linger on dragons long.<br/><br/>"Hall monitor doesn't quite get the idea though it isn't exactly<em>wrong</em>," Jack started to explain. "But we're more like college residential advisors. We're also there to mentor, be the first resource for help in trouble, and then yes enforcing castle rules as well." Jack finished explaining what his role was expected to be. Being one of the Gryffindor prefects Jack's responsibility would see him helping primarily Gryffindor students, but it wasn't as if he was strictly restricted to his housemates.<br/><br/>Jack listened to Robbie's understanding of the houses from what he'd read. They sounded pretty standard observations, though Jack had been around long enough to know that it was hard to sort any house into the narrow conclusions the textbooks he'd read would. After all, it was said Gryffindors sought glory, and Slytherins sought ambition, but what was the difference between glory and ambition? You might apply cunning and bravery, but what ambition was considered<em>safe</em>? Jack wondered if the stereotypes for each house were something housemates convinced themselves of and never examined any closer than that.<br/><br/>"Well, Ravenclaw is also known for accepting the artistic and...<em>eccentric</em>" Jack said taking a moment to find a kind word for it. Not everyone permitted into Ravenclaw was genius or necessarily even smart. Though certainly plenty claws were very intelligent. "But you won't hear me try to build up the other houses too much, I love being a Gryffindor, and you'd find fast friends no doubt." Jack added quickly after. He really couldn't imagine being in any house as fair as he was trying to be to the others.<br/><br/>"I also think your preference plays a large part of where you get sorted, too many families all end up in the same house for it to be based solely on personality I think." He explained with a thoughtful look. Certainly, some families had similar personalities, but the same all of them? Seemed Ludacris to Jack.<br/><br/>"Do you have any other questions, I'd be happy to keep answering if you do." Jack asked a moment later, feeling that he at least himself had said everything he could think of to prepare Robbie for what lay ahead at the castle. He was a prefect after all as he kept reminding himself and mentoring younger students was a part of his job description.<br/>
