Siobhan nodded and shifted her weight from foot to foot. It was starting to get quite cold and she wished that her robes were warmer. Second hand robes were threadbare and the one she was currently wearing had just about seen the last of it's days. Unfortunately for the McCarty family, two-hundred pounds did not transfer to many Galleons and it had just about covered everything that Siobhan immediately needed and left her with about 8 sickles and two uh.. bronze coins to her name. She hoped people didn't notice but she didn't typically raw attention to herself anyway.
Besides she didn't want to take a coat from anyone. She had asked her mother in her letter to send her an extra sweater from her older sister's closet. She hoped it was the light blue one that Agatha had finally grown out of. It was a soft light blue wool that was knitted to look like the clouds. It was her favorite sweater in the world. She couldn't believe that she'd forgotten it at home.
"Yeah it's gotten cold... And I could do with a little food. I missed lunch because I was so worried about the transmission- no I mean- um I couldn't find the right words for my letter." Siobhan tried before getting frustrated with her sentence. She sighed before taking a small inhale and trying to relax.
"Sorry I'm still getting used to speaking full English. My family speaks a blend of both Irish and English but we primarily speak Irish at home. All this English is starting to get difficult." Siobhan apologized. Dean had been so helpful and she just wanted to give her thanks correctly.
But as she thought about it, she was quite hungry. If there was one thing that Hogwarts might have the muggle world beat at, it was food. Siobhan was thrown off guard when she had tasted the food for the first time and she wanted to know how the Wizarding world had been so successful in their culinary expanses.
"So should we go then? I don't think the owl treats are that good." Siobhan joked as she moved towards the entrance of the Owlery. Siobhan as so happy to sent her letter today.
Even if her fingers suffered from a couple owl bites. She'd have to go see the nurse about that.
