She would understand! But she didn't say anything as she listened to him fully. "It's perfectly normal to be homesick Jace." She said with a warm smile,, one of her hands moving upwards, almost as if she was going to pet his arm.. and finally.. the hand did land on his arm, trying to comfort him.. "I miss my parents too, but I can understand if it's harder for you.. here in a strange country.." She felt so bad for him and she wished she knew what to do! "I feel sad when I think of my family as well, that's why I write them a letter each day." She said softly, she hadn't told anyone that yet! Her hand dropped from his arms and she bit her lip.."Sorry about that." She hadn't even realized she had done that!
Azura slowly shook her head.. "I somehow don't think he will.. You see the other day.. He told me he had found a piano in Hogwarts.. and I was so excited I hugged him and told him that I loved him.." She sighed softly.. as it was her turn to stare blankly out on the landscape. "I didn't mean it of course, I was just so happy! It just came out.. and he looked at me as though I had three heads." She tugged on her hair a bit.. "So you see, telling him that I miss him.. isn't an option." She explained as she finally looked back at Jace and shrugged a bit.
"It does smell good doesn't it? The rain in the air as the wind pushed it to your nose.. It is very.. cleansing.." She said with a warm smile.."This would probably be a good place to come when it does start to rain." She motioned out at the view before them.
She nodded as he spoke. [b]"I'm sure we would love it! And you know Rachel and Garreth too? They are super cool aren't they?" She asked him before smiling "I'm sure we would all love to go with you and see it." She listened as he spoke about what festival she would like and made a mental note to look it up later before he asked her what she knew about Japan..
"Well, I know they had cartoons called Anime, comics called Manga.. I actually have a favorite manga. I know it's really pretty there, really crowded, they eat sushi.. and Japan has you.. So it must be great."
Jace was still, busy looking out and trying to change the setting with his mind. He pictured Mount Fuji from afar...and Lake Kawaguchi at its foot. He pictured the image vividly in his mind, and it even made his feelings worse. If things were more than okay between his parents, then there was a huge percentile that he won’t be in Hogwarts right now. He’d be in Japan, close to his maternal family. Definitely, his heart was closer to the Land of the Rising Sun.
“I know...” Jace trailed off, sighing softly.
“As much as I distract myself to ignore homesickness, I...just can’t get rid of it. I suppose I will just have to deal with it head on.” He tried other ways already, and none of those worked.
“I suppose I just have to get used to it?” Jace felt Azura’s hand on his arm, and he grinned at the gesture. Azura’s being too nice, isn’t she?
The next words that came from his companion’s mouth made the boy look at her this time. So, her friend is a Hogwartian? Jace didn’t say anything about it, instead, he kept it stored in his mind just in case he needed the information later on. What made him really turn was Azura’s confession. Jace looked around her face, and sort of confirmed that she doesn’t have three heads.
“I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding. I suppose your friend knows you love music, so it’s just an outburst of emotion.” Well, what else will it be?
“I’m guessing your friend is a boy?” Jace asked, and in the back of his mind, he thought
how assuming this person is. As far as Jace could tell, Azura loved his discovery of the piano, and not exactly...him, as a boy or whatever.
“But...do you?” Jace added.
“Miss him, that is.” The first year Ravenclaw wanted to know. There were lots of clues being dropped here and there, though it’s a bit confusing still.
“It does smell good. It’s called, ‘Petrichor’, did you know?” Of course, the half-Japanese Ravenclaw knows. He’s read books about useless information as an activity to kill time. Jace nodded and looked out of the balcony again,
“But...I think we’ll be home when that happens?” It would probably be storming in Japan once summer rolls in.
Jace nodded and smiled at the mention of Rachel and Garreth.
“They are good friends, yes. Garreth and I make a good team!” Jace wished he could spend more time with the boy and get to know him more. He’s got this feeling that Garreth is a brilliant boy, and he would love to learn from his friend.
“It will be better if Japan met you guys.” Jace responded, turning a slight shade of pink as he did so. He’s not really good with compliments, but he’d take it nonetheless.
