Gia was impressed. Apparently, Miss Flint had paid attention when school had been mentioned. Gia thought this much smarter than the poor ones that arrived looking horrified. How could you see Hogwarts as anything but a gift? "Miss Arundell, I wish you the best of luck. I cannot wait until I can add more courses. I think I'll take Divinations and Ancient Studies, but I haven't thought beyond that."

Turning to the younger girl, Gia asked, "Do you imagine yourself in any particular house, Miss Flint? You know, the Hat will listen to your feelings if you're honest. That's what I was told."
