Valida laughed and waved her hand. "I wouldn't want to live without magic either," she said, giggling. "Though, muggles are interesting."

"Yeah, but my parents hate the fact that after their perfect Slytherin daughter, they got five Gryffindors, so even if it wasn't muggles, it'd be something else" Courtney said. "But oh well. I'll live. I like it much better with my brothers anyway, more Quidditch, and having fun, working hard and all that, and not so much time worrying about proper stuff and appearances" Courtney said. "I used to like that, but it's getting old now"

"How many siblings do you have?"

"Four brothers and a sister" She says dully. "And I'm the youngest. I get the worst of everything. My parents spoiled me when I was younger of course, I think they thought they could bribe me into being like them, but I was just...too....Free spirited" Courtney says with a laugh. "So now I get all the scorn. 'She's the one that was supposed to turn out well but didn't....evil child' and all that kind of stuff" She adds a little bit angrily

"Your parents don't know what they are missing out on," Valida murmured. "You have siblings that care for you though. That can neutral out the parent situation. I have no siblings."

"Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without my brothers" Courtney said, pulling a magazine out of her bag. "That stinks you don't have any. You must have had a lonely childhood" She says

Valida smiled, softly. "I have never heard it put that way," she said on a breathy laugh. "My parents tried their hardest to give me a childhood filled of happiness. But, there is only so much a parent can do. Then, my mother died. She was killed by Voldemort, whom she was having and affair with. My father still does not know. It will kill him when he finds out. I know because I was snooping through my mother's old things"

"Whoa" Courtney said breathlessly. Frankly, it scared her a little bit that Valida's family was so close to Voldemort. "That's really....crazy" She said searching for the right word, but failing miserably. "I'm sorry about your mother though" She added, thinking about how her parents had stopped talking to her since her sorting, knowing, unfortunately, what it was like not to have a mother to talk to, though Valida's situation was worse, she knew.

"Crazy...creepy...uncomfortable," Valida said, nodding, sourly. "Call it what you want." Her tone went cold and some of the nonchalant and arrogant cold Valida escaped. "I am slytherin so, that gives some people reason to know that I am close to Voldemort. Even though I don't like it. That's why I joined a group that is against him."

Courtney was starting to like Valida. She hadn't spoken this openly about her family to a relative stranger in a long time. "Are you in the DA?" Courtney asked a little bit surprised

Valida smiled and let out a breathy laugh. "Yeah," she said, nodding. "My father doesn't know and I don't intend for him to find out until he starts being open with me."

"Yeah, my parents wouldn't be too happy I'm in it either." She said smiling. "Of course, they lost the right to know the second they threw me out of the house, so I'm not really bothering to run it by them" She added

"That is bull that your parents threw you out of the house," Valida said, loudly. "Straight up bull! What kinds of parents would throw their beloved children out?"

"Ones that don't see their child as beloved" She said with a shrug. "Anyways, it's better without them. They were horrible parents, always telling me I was doing something wrong or another, so I'm over it" Courtney said softly, but in a determined voice

"That is a great thing," Valida said, smiling. "Now, family talks are getting boring. Let's talk about the adventures at Hogwarts. That is always a good subject."
