"I am not sure it is in Sugarplum's... I get it from the candy shop in the town I live in in Wales normally. House elves have everything here. I could get frog legs if I wanted to." Hmm... Those were good. Maybe she'd order some later.

Eirian nodded. She wasn't excited about graduating... She didn't want to leave. "Not.. Not really." She didn't worry about tests. She didn't pass them, either, but she most-certainly didn't worry about them. Eiri had shut off her sense of academic disappointment so long ago, just because it hurt too much to care and to come up short. She wasn't smart enough to succeed in school, so why feel the sting that came with failing? It wasn't her fault. "I want to.." Did she have an answer for that...? She'd use the old one. The one she had before she lost her hopes and dreams. "I want to travel the world and discover new things and new places." Eirian had wanted to be like her father, a self-made explorer who had driven away his friends and family and died at the claws of a dragon. Yeah... sounded great. "Brasil really was amazing. It was all I knew. I started living there when I had to start attending magical school. But I moved here... because my father died. I had to come live with my grandmother."

Ariadne was very happy to see her multiple questions were receiving decent answers. More than decent, actually. 'Do they? Wow, so everything that pops in your head, you ask them and they have it?' Ari was more and more impressed by Hogwarts every minute. 'I feel sorry to bother them, though, they're working so hard.' she pitied the elves.

Ariadne envied Eirian for not being nervous about exams. The firstie worried too much even about regular homework. Of course, she had no idea why the older girl wasn't worried. 'That sounds like a fabulous life plan. I want to travel a lot too. I love travelling. Have you seen many countries so far?' Ari wondered.

Only when Eirian told her she was living with her grandmother did Ariadne feel slightly ashamed for asking so many questions. However, she couldn't help but ask:'But what about your mother?' Maybe she had died too, and this made it the most inappropriate question ever. Now Ariadne felt lucky for at least having her mum around. 'Never mind, you don't have to answer that.' she added quickly.
