Well the hat clearly didn't like small talk did? Rather it jumped straight into the questions that she felt like would pick her apart in a manor she didn't quite enjoy.

Knowledge or success? At least that one was fairly simple. "Success." Knowledge was useless without something to do with it. Well useless was the wrong word. She liked knowing things, but she far more enjoyed using the things she learned.

The next one, well, had someone asked her that question last year she would have had a far harder time answering it. Now, the answer came easily, gliding off the tongue with little thought. "Relent. Life is fragile - who don't know where someone could go or what would happen to 'em." Goldcrest, his death had ripped her family apart. It was why she'd pushed them away from thievery. Could they survive another loss? Sometimes she thought Firecrest had died with his twin. It was like looking a living ghost in the face.

"What do I wanna do? I don't know. I never really thought I'd've get a choice." Before this year, her path in life had been set in stone before she'd ever been born. It was a life she was okay with. Always had been. "I want to do something big though. I don't wanna let my chances slip by, ya know? It needs to be profitable. I want to be respected. I want to protect my family."

The next was was easy. "Friendship is hard earned loyalty. Someone willin to get dirty for you. Someone who is there thick 'n thin. Who you have faith in and has faith in you. It is something earned, not something given. You can have fun with 'em, ya but I don't think that is really what it comes down to. I mean yeah you have to enjoy them but I can find someone I don't trust funny."

"I don't think I'm that complicated. I like learnin and watchin people - I mean that's why I'm excited to be here. I don't get the chance to do book learnin at home. But I like puppies too. I had a puppy I wanted to bring to Hogwarts. Changing that rule would make me happy.

Abhorrent was a big word she didn't really know. "Abhorrent? What's that mean? Like sumethin I hate? I guess not having a drive? Though I think that'd only bother me if they were close to me. Oh I know, I hate when people underestimate me! Just because I'm young doesn't mean my opinion isn't valid or that I don't know anything!"
