But I love them in general. They are my favourite sandwiches." Maybe a lot of people wouldn't share her love them, but she did not care. As long as the house elves and Bay's mother kept them coming, she was happy.

Grabbing a third cookie, Lux was surprised that she hadn't thought of going to Professor Bentley about the tea thing. Of course. Duh. "That's a very good idea. She is so nice, so I am sure that she would be glad to help us with whatever she knows about tea." Herbology was a fun subject, but Lux really did not know how she felt about those dangerous plants. They still freaked her out a lot. But something like tea was perfectly safe, as she was sure that there were no fanged tea plants anywhere.

And once again Lily was showing how wise she was; clearly this girl was a Ravenclaw for a very good reason. "I suppose that is true. I can be pretty determined when I want to be." Lux was not a quitter, and she was a competitive person. Determination was a part of her nature. The only time where it really failed her was with the whole flying thing, and when she had been uncertain about her spell work last term. "I really hope that they keep doing these field trips. But if they don't, I am sure that I can go travelling with other people." It could be a lot of fun, and she loved doing outdoor things like camping. Camping trips were awesome. "Oh, well that is fair enough. Hopefully I can get to know him better soon." But if Austin wasn't really the social type, that was fine and she wouldn't push anything.

No blame was being cast as to why the conversation had gotten a bit awkward for a moment. Lily had no reason to think that there hadn’t been a good reason for the story about Bay throwing up being told, and it seemed like her attempt at hiding her initial reaction had worked. Lux hadn’t asked about anything, anyhow, and therefore it was simple to just let that whole topic get pushed behind them. Besides, it wasn’t like either of them had thrown up right then. That would have definitely caused awkwardness. “Okay then,” she replied with a smile, when the Hufflepuff had begun speaking again. “I’ll try to remember that. I’m not sure I have a favorite sandwich, so you know more there.” She’d honestly not thought much about sandwiches in general to decide if she had a favorite. They weren’t like other types of food, as far as she was concerned.

She’d meant it when she’d brought them up in relation to tea parties, though. Maybe it would be fun to have a tea party sometime before she left school, or even next summer when she wasn’t planning on forgetting her friends who hadn’t graduated with her. They could even invite Professor Bentley, if they asked her about how to cultivate a cookie tea. “I’m sure she would,” she agreed. If she’d known enough about tea herself she would have tried figuring it out on her own. Herbology wasn’t one of her worst subjects, after all, but it was better to ask an expert. She didn’t think they’d be encountering anything dangerous if they only asked about tea, although with the professor anything was possible. Either way, it was a plan, if only the two of them remembered having the idea later on in order to actually ask.

She had smiled again as Lux had given in to her logic regarding what had happened on the trip. “Well, anyway, determination was definitely useful when we’d all gotten caught in the mudslide,” she thought aloud, not even thinking that the younger girl may not have heard about all that had happened. “That’s good though. That you’re determined.” She remembered the girl telling her about her fear of flying and trying to get past it, anyhow, which was something she herself still struggled with. “Sure. I mean, I’d take you if I knew I was going anywhere,” she added. After graduation, of course, but as far as she knew she was staying in England. She hadn’t really thought about her plans yet, and at least some of that would depend on what Austin was doing. The possible traveling, at least, and Lux hadn’t argued her avoidance in explaining why he didn’t talk to people often either. Another plus. “Hopefully. Honestly, I haven’t talked to him that much since we got back to Hogwarts either.” She’d talked to him enough to know he was okay, and she’d find him later, too.
