She loved Wyatt, he was the best…still there were times that he just needed to grow up already…or well, not put paste and glue in his sister’s hair. Mel looked around at the people milling about the curious chorus of jingling coins drew her attention in front of her.

Oh…Levi.

She’d recognize his…um…face? Wait, face? She was standing behind him but still, she was recognizing his hair and the back of his head – which was a nice head mind you from her vantage point behind him. Still, Melbourne ~~the keeper of lost things~~ took a quick step forward before walking up to him. ”Hey Kenning…see anything good?” she asked before lowering her voice ”Have you lost anything yet?” she asked in a comically low whisper, of course she was kidding he usually didn’t lose things until classes started or that was what she had noticed when he had been frantically studying for OWLs last term. ”How’d you do on OWLs?” she asked at the end a hopeful smile playing across her face.

He began to grow particularly attached to some cauldron cakes and possibly half of a dozen of chocolate frogs--items he'd not been able to consume much during the summer because parental regulations, what not--when Melbourne Sorin-Ward joined him. He offered her a smile that soon enough turned into a good-natured laugh. As it turned out, as long as he was studiously avoiding certain personal shortcomings, he could be in a pretty good mood. So, things were not bad.

"Nothing lost yet," He announced, easily. "But I think we can both agree there's still time."

The topic of his OWL results wasn't necessarily something he was eager to discuss. He'd done very well in the subjects he'd wanted to continue to take on his NEWT level--and even in those he did not but would anyway--but Divination, Arithmancy and Astronomy still remained a sore spot. Not that he had any plans to continue any of them after his fifth year--though Divination had been part of the plan until last winter--but Levi had always figured not taking these would be his choosing. He'd never expected to be forcefully removed from them.

Which was fine. It wouldn't really affect him. But it still stung enough that the boy was not resolute to pretend all of three subjects just simply weren't part of the Hogwarts curriculum anymore. Clearly, if Levi Kenning could not have them as choices, then they must have been canceled.

"I did well." It was a perfectly acceptable response. He paid for three cauldron cakes and one chocolate frog. "No yelling at home about them, at least." Not that his parents had been pleased about the two Ps and that one A. But. "So, I'm good. Are you ready for your OWLs, though?"
