"I take my school work very seriously. I always try my hardest." She wasn't opposed to working; hard work always paid off.
Digging into her bag, she pulled out the small vial of potion that Professor Culloden had given to her. It seemed logical to carry it at all times since it was impossible to know in advance when it would be needed. "This is to calm down creatures. I wrote about the angry mother Unicorn I met in Hogsmeade for my Potions homework, and he made this for me." From her understanding, he had a habit of doing this for certain students and it seemed very sweet.
Placing the vial back in her bag, she had a sudden thought. "Do you know how to do cartwheels?" Because it would certainly be more fun to cartwheel down the corridor instead of walking down it. It had never really been something she thought about, but Lily did like giving advice when she was able to. There were a lot of things she wasn’t able to discuss, even now, but school wasn’t one of those. Not when she’d possibly been to more than most of the others at Hogwarts, since she hadn’t been homeschooled until she was eleven. Not to mention she hadn’t even come here until she was fifteen. So it was nice to focus on that, instead of the temperature in the corridor which she was almost certain might have gone down a couple degrees since they’d been there. Plus, Lux seemed to understand what she’d been trying to say. “Well then, I don’t think you’ll have anything to worry about,” she replied with a grin. Whether she did go into potions or something else altogether, being willing to work for it was always the best idea.
It was just unfortunate she didn’t quite have the same idea as to her life after school, and it was looming. A potion to help her figure that out would have been oh so welcome right about now, but she didn’t figure Lux had that. Besides, the vial she’d pulled out was her personal gift from Professor Culloden, so she couldn’t ask to use it. “That was nice of him. Of course, there aren’t really very many creatures around lately for that to be needed, but it was still nice of him,” she said, the statement growing more thoughtful as the words spilled out. As far as she knew, the only creatures around were the pets that were in the castle with them, seeing as the owls had all disappeared. They couldn’t exactly go outside to check if there were any others around, either, if they had even wanted to.
Stupid snow. She was definitely tired of it, yet her thoughts had trailed off in confusion as she heard the question that the little Hufflepuff at her side suddenly asked. That was unexpected. “Ye-es, but I haven’t tried to do one in forever,” she slowly replied, glancing over with curiosity in her green eyes. It was almost like if she’d been asked to play her guitar, except she’d actually kept up her practice with that. There wasn’t much else to do lately when she wasn’t studying. Music kept her from getting too worried about being trapped, too.
