Whatever problems she'd had over the past three years, she had worked out on her own and socialising with those that were that much older than her didn't really appeal to her.

Mia had to admit that she liked history as well. It was one of her better subjects here but she didn't want that as a career. "I think travelling is a must for everyone." She and Nik intended to do it as soon as she graduated. "Just wizard history or are you interested in muggle history as well?"

She gave Lauren a slightly disbeliving look. "You don't look like the awkward type to me. Here I am, a complete stranger and we're having a rather pleasant conversation." Or maybe she was just easy to talk to. So many people had told her that. "So you were kinda homeschooled? I was. For three years until my father it might be better if I got a proper education and sent me here." And it had been rather good timing on her father's part.

"So what's your favourite subject?"

"Oh, fair enough," Lauren said with a soft smile. She could understand that, so far the majority of the staff seemed really odd or mean, except for Professor Bentley. She was alright. And Professor Schirmer wasn't too bad but she couldn't exactly imagine hanging out with her or anything. Lauren had no idea how Kurumi did it!

"Oh yeah!" Lauren agreed with Mia's statement with an eager nod. "I've done nothing but travel, my whole life!" she exclaimed. "Where do you plan to go?"
Lauren frowned as she contemplated Mia's question, "I think both," she concluded "It's all the same, isn't it? We're all human and it all interconnects." She secretly hoped Mia wouldn't react badly to her statement. She seemed like a lovely girl, but unfortunately Lauren had met some prejudiced types in her travels, all of whom would threaten to hex her for claiming such a thing...

"I guess I just feel awkward, y'know?" Lauren admitted with a blush, embarrassed by her confession but also pleased at Mia's words "I grew up with only my Dad for company and he's the only person in the world who I really know. Every one else are just acquaintances for a couple of months, and then I move on... My Dad's a travel writer," she explained with a shrug. "I've mostly been schooled by him and by the people we stay with as we travel." So, Mia had been homeschooled as well... Interesting. "How did you adjust to here?" she asked. Lauren was struggling, already. So any coping stategies would be useful!

"Umm, favourite subject? I don't think I have one yet," she admitted sheepishly. "I'm still adjusting. Most of the Proffesors are weird or they're okay, but their classes are boring. I'm not sure what to think..."
