"It is weird, isn't it? But I suppose it's such a big part of who we are for so long, and that hat really is very good at telling us a little bit more about ourselves than the stuff we knew already." She shrugged. "Either way, we didn't have too many classes with Hufflepuff, maybe why you don't look too familiar for me." She admitted.
"Well, if you're going to find a bargain anywhere, it's here." She said with a small shrug. "Or a muggle second hand shop - have you ever been near one of those?" She asked. She held the robe up against her, slightly too big probably, but workable. She could sort that out with a bit of swift spellwork. "And not so much for the school theme, more that this kind of red doesn't usually wash me out. And it makes a statement." she added. "Oh come now, that thing is a statement." She added, with a small grin.
She checked the price tag of the red robe - absolutely within budget, and maybe left overs for a sneaky something else.
