 Penelope, Azura, and Abby Mischievous Niffler
Kitty noticed that Azura was more pale than usual, and it didn't look like pale makeup like what Kitty used. Was she okay? "That's good that your summer was interesting." But she sensed that Azura did not want to talk about it when she asked how her summer was. "Ooh my summer was fabulous," she replied cheerfully before plunging right in, chattering so quickly that her words ran against each other. "Since my grades were so good (which was a first,) mom took us on a trip to America - and we got to see several famous landmarks. We went to Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, New York, and Canada - but Canada is another country. I even saw a Thunderbird! But it was flying too fast for me to take a picture of it, so I can't show you. Don't worry, next time I will. Dad and I hung out at the Thrift store when we got back, which was also cool. And mom was really happy that I got permission to bring my worms to Hogwarts so now she won't have to be taking care of them when she gets back from work at the Ministry." Kitty pointed to the crate of dirt on the bench to her right so that Azura could see the worms. Then she sighed. "Unfortunately, mom hired a media trainer to teach me how to be a good little reporter in the way that HE thinks it should be done. So now he's going to be writing to me tips and assigning me extra homework all year that I'm going to have to do along with my classes here at Hogwarts." She sighed again. "But I really missed you guys, so I'm happy to be back."
"Oh." Kitty's face dropped a little when Abby told her that she had a bad summer. First Haddie had avoided the question, then Azura had paled and said her summer was just interesting, and now Abby admitted her summer was one to forget. Had Kitty been the only Ravenclaw to have had a good summer? "Well it's good you're back at Hogwarts then," she said, smiling as she tried to cheer the older girl up. "And I'm really looking forward to History of Magic, aren't you?"
"Hi Penny! Congratulations on becoming the new Head Girl, you deserve it." Kitty beamed at her before asking, "How was your summer?" Chances were it was awesome like hers, right??? |
