Booooooring!
Of course Ana was excited about Hogwarts. Everyone seemed to be on the most part! "Babushka? So that's your grandmother, right?" It had to be if Ana had looked like an old woman last term. It must be scary to look like your own grandmother; Lux loved both of hers, but she would cry if she had woken up one morning and looked into a mirror to see that she resembled one of them. Fortunately, the topic of Terry drove that thought out of her head. "Oh, I lost Bay earlier too. But I found him again, so it was great!" She had been sad when she lost sight of him. "I'm really looking forward to starting another term at school, though I really hope that nothing like last year happens again." The Muggle Studies lesson about death had been the worst part, because there had been a coffin involved. That had totally freaked her out. "And the last time I saw Bay, he was going to the food trolley because he didn't eat lunch before the train, or bring one." Eye roll. "Of course I have some cucumber sandwiches, but he hates them. He also told me he would bring me back something!" "Ahh. That is of course the most important part of becoming a lady," Ana agreed mock seriously as she looked down at her own feet. Ana wore heels almost exclusively ever since she was twelve and learnt how to walk in them properly. She'd started off with kitten heels but they'd steadily gotten higher. The ones she was wearing now were a comfortable four inches since she'd know she'd be walking in crowds. "If you need help with learning let me know. The trick is to start low and remember to put your heel down first. And to take small steps," she offered while giving Lux some of the basic information that all women needed to know before attempting to walk in heels. "That's right," Ana agreed, giving Lux an encouraging smile, happy to see that the girl had remembered the term. "She looks good for her age and is in great shape, she doesn't even have that many wrinkles but it still wasn't a great sight," although Ana was sure that when she was properly old she'd be happy to have aged gracefully. Ana listened intently as Lux chatted to her, nodding in the appropriate places. "You know, I think not liking Cucumber sandwiches must be a boy thing. Terry doesn't like them either, something about not enough substance," she recalled from that time when they'd gone to the kitchens and she'd asked for a cucumber sandwich. Terry had been shocked by the thought that cucumber sandwiches were actually a thing. Silly boys. "Now, tell me, how was your birthday party? I was meant to go but then I got the flu so couldn't make it," Ana recalled sadly. She'd been devastated when her doctor had forced her to stay in bed instead of attending Lux's party which she'd been looking forward to ever since she'd gotten the invite.
