"I could hardly go on holiday and not get you anything this time around. I got them while I was in India. I visited the Taj Mahal while I was there as well," she said with a smile that said a LOT. She would, of course, share her vacay details with her fave person later on.
Taking the box for herself, Kimber quickly unwrapped the package and peeked inside. Her smile grew when she saw the beautiful jewelry that was nestled inside.
"Lexi, it's lovely!" she said, holding the earrings up to get a better look.
"I know just where I'll wear them first," she added, before placing them gentle back in their box for safekeeping.
"You must tell me all about your holiday... when we have more time to talk." Knowing Lexi, there was no way she'd go into detail in front of strangers.

Madam Donovan was still smiling brightly when she turned her attention on the younger Gryffindor.
"So... how'd you like it?" she asked, nodded towards the book in Gideon's lap.

That was pretty much Ariadne could comment on it, since she was clueless about stuff like that.
'I've talked to the Headmaster last year about my wanting to become a wandmaker, and he sent me to you for some career counselling.' the young lioness explained her visit, getting directly to the point, feeling that Madam Donovan didn't like to waste her time.
Kimber was all too happy to respond to any and all compliments regarding her rug.
Especially since she had been fishing for them all afternoon. "Thank you! A dear friend bought it for me this summer. Had it delivered just in time for the new term," she answered.
Kimber's demeanor changed slightly at the mention of the Headmaster but was relieved to hear that Ariadne wasn't here for a punishment. She was really in no mood for the dungeons just yet.
She couldn't help the smile that appeared next.
"Ariadne, we still have a few years before I can work out any internships with the local wandmakers... " She was only twelve after all.
"...but I could help you research the basics. There are books on wand cores and woods that would be excellent reading material for you."
