"Exactly my thoughts, I'm glad there are other people that think the same as me. Before now most of them that I've said about this to have not only had not clue what they wanted to do, but also didn't really even care because it was so many years away." Ivy shrugged, "I told them though, it goes so quick and you don't want to be stuck doing something you don't enjoy for the rest of your life."
Ivy pondered the idea of her being brave at something else, or being brave when the situation called for it. She liked that idea but it wasn't something she could say for sure. "I dunno, I suppose I've just never had my bravery tested as it were. I mean heights I suppose are the only thing that really scare me but is that really being brave or is that just me?" It was far too complicated a subject to come to draw a conclusion to over the breakfast table. So Ivy shook it off and decided to forget about it. The sorting hat obviously thought she was suited to Gryffindor for a reason, and not simply because some of her family had been in the same house there had to be more to it than that.
"I think you're right. Its getting kind of busy in here now." Ivy replied to Kaits comment as she looked around the hall to see the tables much busier and bustling with students. The time must have gotten on. "Did you have anywhere you need to be straight after breakfast, or are you free like me?"

"Yeah, well, they're all idiots." She laughed. "It's only six years away...that's not very long at all. We gotta make it count, yeah? And being stuck in a job I don't like would honestly be torture for me - I'm pretty sure I have ADHD...after my coffee, that is."
Kaity knew that she could be brave - hell, she could be a lot of things - but she just chose not to be most of the time. "Without fear there can be no bravery. It's good to have fears...and I think that if it really, really mattered, you could be extremely brave." She paused briefly before doing one of her mini-speeches (a habit of her's); "If you look at me, right, then I'm very rarely out of my comfort zone. This is because of two things; my comfort zone is pretty large, and because I don't ever put myself out of it. Having said that, I've been in situations which could potentially be life threatening to me or someone else, and I've always, kind of instinctively, done whatever has needed to be done, even if it's something that completely terrifies me."
She finally took a deep breath when the lack of oxygen made her feel light headed.
She thought quickly in response to Ivy's question. "Erm, I have a class in about forty-five minutes but that's ages away!" She smiled.

Ivy nodded as she listened to Kait's little speech, "I suppose you're right. Until you actually end up in a situation like that there's not really any way to tell exactly how you'll react, or how brave or scared you might be at the time. Its one of those things you can't really account for before hand."
Checking over her timetable just to be sure she was indeed free for a while after breakfast, she was still getting to grips with the times of all her classes and what have you, Ivy was glad to hear that Kait was also going to free for a while.
"Yeah think I'm the same actually." She said glancing over the timetable, "Yeah about 45 minutes till class, so how d'you want to kill that time?" Ivy asked. She didn't have any plans and figured she could probably kill it a little better with Kait, that is as long as she didn't mind the Gryffindor tagging along.

Kait nodded in agreement before saying thoughtfully, "Well, I think one has to hope one doesn't end up in many situations like that..."
Kait thought for a few moments before realising she was still in tracksuit pants and slippers. "Uhm, well, I think I should probably go get changed first...then maybe we could...I dunno... Go to the lake? Or maybe the lawns. I like being outside a fair amount, and it isn't really that cold yet."
(Note: On my phone, which is just a regular phone without any fancy keyboards or anything, so erm...sorry if this is short, I can't really tell on here.)

"Sounds like a good plan actually, think I've got COMC next so being out in on the lawns would make it a shorter trip to class." Ivy chuckled, probably didn't help Kaity out any as she wasn't taking that class but it would help her.
"Tell you what, if you wanted to go get changed for class I'll meet you in the entrance hall?" She suggested, Ivy didn't need to head back to the dormitories, she'd dressed and prepared all of her school things for the day already like she'd already pointed out she was an early bird. Plus she could do without the walk back up all those stairs.
Ivy stood to make her way back out off the Great Hall, waiting for Kait to follow her. "So I'll wait down here for you, then we can head outside. You can show me the good spots to hang out."

"Hm, I don't know what I have, but I know it's not Care of Magical Creatures..." She said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, entrance hall, in about...ten minutes?"
Kaity nodded her head in agreement when Ivy said they would go to the lawns. She made sure her slippers and everything were still secure before skipping back to the Ravenclaw dormitories, where she could get her books and change into her school uniform.

"Excellent." Ivy grinned as she followed Kait out of the hall and went to wait in the entrance hall. She took a seat near one of the marble pillars and pulled out her charms textbook, may as well get some reading in while she was waiting.
((Sorry for late, and short reply, did you want to start a new thread in the Entrance hall, or grounds or whatever to continue this or carry on here?))
