Even though she did look cute with mud on her face.

He shrugged his shoulders. "This may sound harsh but I can't miss what I've never really had." He had only seen the twins a few times and he was so young himself that he hadn't really understood who they were to him. Maybe when he was older he could talk to his mother about them again.

"Yeah apparently we Gryffindors are a bit wild and reckless." It was definitely a thing with them. "I wouldn't have pegged you for a Ravenclaw though. Shouldn't you be somewhere quiet with your head stuck in a book?" He poked his tongue out at her to let her know that he was just teasing her.

And then they were off and running towards the dock once again and he burst out laughing. "Chocolate frogs? Come on surely you can think of something better than that?" She was a Ravenclaw after all.

Emma nodded, taking in every word he said. "Well, it's always good to take an experience like that and turn in into a lesson learned, your father is very wise." She smiled, rubbing her hands together in an attempt to get some of the mud off of them.

"Yeah, I suppose that's true..." She replied softly. Emma wasn't sure what she'd have done in that sort of situation. She'd always wanted siblings, so separation like that would have been hard on her.

Emma laughed. "Well, Michael... you'd be surprised. It's actually not unusual for us 'Claws to not be the best at academics. Because it’s not about the grade for us; it’s about the knowledge we gain, and whether we even consider that knowledge interesting enough to bother with..." She countered back, smiling lazily.

And then he began teasing her about chocolate frogs. Blasphemy. "They're my favorite! Shame on you for not seeing the beauty that is a simple chocolate frog!" She giggled, increasing her speed in a halfhearted attempt to catch up. "No fair! You have longer legs!"
