Her eyes on her best friend, Lottie waited until most of the peeps were gone before suggesting something with a bit of excitement for the Gryffindor standing next to her. "Astronaut training, then? Or should we leave that for later and tour something first?" They were going to witness what Airey was denied of either way. Could be their first stop, or their last, she didn't mind at all.
Oh Merlin! Oh Merlin! Oh Merlin!
This had to be, officially, one of the greatest places in the entire world and Airey had earned himself some extra EXTRA chocolate frog points with this Gryffindor. Didn't matter that wandering off was allowed, it just made it less likely for Airey to pretend to lecture them when they finally showed up later. This was their day. D'you feel the freedom Lottie? The intoxicating sweetness of NOT being inside the castle? They probably could have illusioned all this and stayed at school but she was glad Airey opted for the real thing.
She looked all about them, trying to figure what they'd get done first in this beautiful place. Of course it went without saying they were going it alone. Unless you were in the year that just left, you were not allowed and we all know how unlikely that was.
"Astronaut training." She agreed with a firm nod as she linked arms with her bestie and pulled her in that direction.
"I wanna try that anti-gravity simulation thing. Closest I'll come I reckon unless Aurors head into space." Had she told Lottie she'd applied for the program? She couldn't remember.
