Katilyn was taken aback from the girl's bold behavior. She'd noticed as she quietly munched on what was left of her roll. Her blue eyes fell on Headmaster Utelias afterwards. Oh crap. She's about to get the first scolding.. It wasn't exactly like she'd drank from the cup.. but it still wasn't allowed. She wasn't quite sure what he'd said to her, because it was a situation where her extendable ears weren't useful. So she just took a jab at the situation, concluding that the Gryffindor girl got punished or at least she assumed because of the older students sour expressions.
She watched out of the corner of her eye as the Headmaster Utelias approached the other teachers. She grabbed another roll, taking a small bite so as to not look suspicious. As curious as she was, she didn't want to be known as an eavesdrop. She was taken from her snooping though as she heard Vlad's displeasure towards how the Headmaster handled the situation. She grinned slightly amused, but kept her thoughts to herself. He's a bit of a mischievous one.
She blew some of her red hair out of her face, before answering Vlad, "There are house elves that cook the food and clean our common rooms. The magic simply transports all this stuff to the tables." She informed him, a little more than confident in her knowledge. She wasn't boasting about it, but she did take pride in what she knew.
She took a second bite out of her new roll, "She did get scolded, and from the look on all of their faces, she got points deducted from Gryffindor." She attempted to assure him, although she was starting to figure out the negativity that the hat had mentioned. Why does he already hate them? They haven't said two words to us yet. She decided to not pry into it, how he felt wasn't any of her business and as much as she wanted to correct the behavior, she didn't have a foot to stand on. She swung her feet under the table, seeing as they didn't touch the ground. She was one of the shorter students after all. Maybe not even five feet tall if she removed her shoes.
"I look forward to it." She replied back, though she assumed he meant a different sort of great than she'd implied, but it could be discussed at a later date. His followup question was more imminent. She looked up at the ceiling, admiring the stars as she thought of her answer, "It's not what I expected, it's a lot different than what I used to think about before I received my letter.." She laughed a bit, shrugging her shoulders afterwards in order to pretend it didn't bother her, "Looking back, I don't see how I expected to be placed in Gryffindor like the rest of my family.. I'm nothing like them.."
