And then the girl introduced herself as Amelia. Edric gave a brief nod before his eyes wandered off to a nearby first year that was chasing after an owl. Apparently a new pet that wasn't yet used to its new owner. He returned his attention to Amelia as the girl asked about his year.
"Seventh," replied Edric simply. "Just a few more months 'til freedom. What about you?"
"Oh, I just spent most of the Summer looking after my little brother. He's allergic to grass so we didn't go outside too much," which Amelia had really hated. But she loved Harper, so she was willing to spend all her time inside if that's what it took. "That, and you know, there are these pesky things called classes," she added dryly, in answer to his question.
"Same here, and I cannot wait to have that freedom. And to never have to ride on that dangerous contraption they call a train ever again," she added, remembering that traumatic experience. She really, really hated trains. This really hadn't helped.
