And see her older brother, Cora, her cousins, and her adopted sister too. She nodded again, not entirely sure that she was following Ingrid but she thought she got the gist. “So enjoying Hogwarts equals less homesickness?” she tried to sum up.
Hiding made her feel sad? Lisa had never suspected that hiding would make someone feel that way. She always equated hiding with fun games like hide and seek. “I still would call it your hideaway but in a good way. Hiding doesn’t always have to be sad. I think of it like hide and seek or a place away from everyone else’s crazy.” She chuckled before looking at the offered sketchbook and seeing lots and lots of clothing. Neat! “Wow Ingrid. These are good. Do you like to make clothes too?”
She began making more cranes as she was talking. Origami had become a mindless task at times as she had done it so much that it became muscle memory. She didn’t have to exert too much energy over it. She smiled. “A club? I’ll think on it. I’m not sure if others would and I’d prefer to start a taekwondo club but I’ve only taken a few classes. I had asked my siblings all summer long to get into taekwondo and I finally did. It took forever.” Dancing was fun and all but sparring and forms were so much better.
Lisa watched the other Ravenclaw sketch with a small smile on her face. A question popped into her head briefly. “Do you know Ash?” she asked curiously. “That about sums it up” a smile on her face now because Lisa seemed to be summarising her words pretty succinctly. She figured that it was honestly obvious that keeping yourself busy and doing things that you enjoyed would mean a happier experience at Hogwarts. “I guess you don’t need to enjoy Hogwarts as much as just enjoy yourself” so that really depended on what she enjoyed doing, but they’d already discussed this.
Ingrid considered her words for a moment and then nodded, although she still wasn’t sure if she wanted to consider this place as a hiding place anymore. “I know what you mean” although in truth, her words did sound a little childish. She couldn’t even remember the last time she’d played hide-and-seek. She did however appreciate Lisa’s kind words and her attempt to help her feel better, even if it didn’t quite her desired effect.
She hadn’t started making hadn’t started making her own clothes yet but maybe she should because it seemed the floral patterns that she’d designed on the clothes seemed to look okayish. “Not at the moment but maybe in the future. I’m not quite sure where to start to be honest. Maybe I could buy some second hand clothes and try to make them a little more…modern”, the last part more to herself than the younger Hufflepuff. “Don’t worry, if I do, I’ll be sure to let you try them on first” if they looked any good that is. “I mean as long as you had an instructor? Not that you couldn’t lead them but like, if you’ve only just started, you’re still learning too, right?” Ingrid didn’t have a clue what exactly Taekwondo was but if it was anything like most of the activities at Hogwarts, an instructor or teacher/professor was needed.
Hands now sketching, Ingrid didn’t look up initially at the question and continued until she’d finished off the area she was shading and then shrugged a little. “A little. She’s in my dorm room but we don’t really hang out much, I guess. Any reason why?” she asked, not really curious for the answer. She knew her fellow Ravenclaw third year. Afterall, they’d come to Hogwarts at the same time but they were so completely different that sometimes, they simply didn’t see eye. |
