Being well rounded was always something her family did want for her and her siblings, but she didn't see the need to uproot her in the middle of her education. Yes, she had learned a lot in her time in France, but she felt she was missing out on a lot being away from Hogwarts. "I would have preferred to have been homeschooled than transferred to Beauxbatons that first year." She was so unhappy that year, but things did get a little better. "It was different for sure. I always felt like I was pretending to be something I wasn't there, but being back here....Well it feels normal. Like it's right to be going back and that I can so be myself again."
Returning the smile, she extended her hand as well and shook hers. "It's nice to meet you as well Mia." Yay, she was finally meeting new people again. It was always a hurdle for her to do so. "I've been looking forward to coming back since I left. I tried for two summers to convince my mother to allow me back and it finally worked." Okay, maybe it was more her father's work and her stubbornness that did that, but that really didn't need to be said.
"May we should ask the elves to teach us." Seeing how her mother couldn't cook for the life of her either, it was probably a good idea to get help from the best cooks around.
"I tried to make pancakes for my boyfriend once." She gave her head a small shake.
"Total disaster." And she hadn't tried it again after that.
Mina wouldn't be saying that if she had been homeschooled by Mia's father. He had really, really sucked. And just thinking of her father right now brought a small frown to her face. She had to remember that she was not happy with him right now.
"Yeah Hogwarts is great. And you'll get to see all your old friends again. I bet you're excited about that."
The line began to move again and Mia tokk another couple of steps forward.
"So what house are you in?" Quote:

The woman looked like a lovely person.
So, after dumping everything except her pet rat in an empty compartment, Destiny made her way over to finally meet this lady. She had no intentions of buying anything, but once she arrived, she just couldn't resist. Plus, she had a few extra coins in her coin purse since she might have accidentally on purpose forgot to buy a few needed schoolbooks. That'll teach her mother not to tell her she couldn't get another pet again!
"Give me chocolate or give me death!"
She was dead serious.
As she was talking to Mina, Mia spotted a familiar figure just charge right up the food trolley. She might have been annoyed at the fact that the Slytherin had just pushed her way in front of everyone else but when Destiny opened her mouth, Mia burst out laughing.
"I'll give you death, if you don't get back at the end of the line and wait your turn." she said while still laughing. Well maybe not death.
Perhaps a little jinx...or two.
