<strong>Elizabeth Shadowstar</strong><br/><br/>Liz smiled sympathetically at Symphony at the mention of the Hufflepuff girl's mother, and nodded at Karin's logic. "I agree with Karin. Houses don't really matter. It's just for convenience, and to instill some healthy competition in hot-blooded teenagers. I suppose the original founders of Hogwarts wanted to train young witches and wizards to develop their best trait too, but honestly, it's far too simplistic to classify people into four personalities. Anyway, I'm glad my parents know nothing about the Hogwarts houses, so no pressure on me to be in one house or the other." Liz seldom shared her opinion in such a long monologue, and was a little stunned at how much she had spoken. Blushing slightly now, she looked down and simply listened as Dean offered his opinion on Fudge. Liz thought Fudge to be too soft too, but she did not feel like speaking anymore, for now.<br/><br/><strong>Sirius Black</strong><br/><br/>Sirius gave James a lopsided grin when the boy mentioned nonchalantly that he was going to see some of the 'other Gryffindors'. He knew well who it was James was hoping to see. "Okay, say hi to Lily from me!" he called after the bespectacled James as he disappeared down the passageway.
