Adventures called!
"Yeh dad didn't take you on a death march, did he?" It wouldn't have surprised her if their chatting had involved a stroll of some sort. Nic didn't seem the sort to be thrilled about sharing the Three Broomsticks with most of Hogwarts' population. "'ope you sent 'im my best."
"Not as awesome as you do," she replied, her arms easy slipping around the Gryffindor for a bestie!hug, and getting a kiss into the bargain too. A small blush came to her cheeks as she returned the gesture. "Can't decide whether to keep the braid or not. Thoughts?"
