Helena was about to think that Arabella might have those OWLs or something, but then... she said she was a third year. A third year that Helena happened to have never seen around before. Not that she knew any other Gryffindors. Maybe just a couple or something like that.

Not exactly knowing what to say, the girl just gave Arabella a smile and then looked blankly at the books that were piled up on her lap. Since the last few days have been super busy, she had no idea how many assignments were waiting for her to finish. At least she finished that Potions assignment, or final exam, or whatever it was.

Alright. Probably time to break the silence. "Do you have any plans for the holidays?" Juuuust a few more minutes of chatter, and she'll go. Books and assignments were calling her.
