Quidditch. And he'd gotten two tickets--for her! Being hopelessly unathletic herself, Violet had never much gotten into Quidditch--it brought back too many embarrassing memories of flying mishaps.
"I'd love to see a Quidditch game with you, Caes!" Quote:

Though now he wondered about her, was she still interested in him to keep things going from afar? She would likely meet new people and see new things. "What were your plans after...?"
Yes, long distance relationships. Violet was not convinced they could work, but was unwilling to give this particular one up so easily.
"Oh, I'll be in London for the summer, too--my family's house is in London, actually." Oh Merlin, would Caes have to meet her family? Violet had hoped to put that off as long as possible, hoping that Caes would have enough time to really
like her before she showed him just what he was getting into. But while seeing a boy at school was easy enough, she supposed he would have to at least meet one of her uncles if she saw him during the summer. And Grandfather would probably insist..oh dear....But for the other thing...
"Um, yes, next year. It looks like I'll be studying abroad next year, actually. At the Durkheim Potions Institute." That was her old governess' alma mater, and came highly recommended. In the past, Violet had dreamed of being able to go there, but now she was not feeling very enthused about it.
"But I'd love it if you wrote...if you want to. I...I don't want to lose touch with you, Caes. And I'll be back in London for holidays and things--after all, I'm of age now, I can travel by myself." Surely it was possible to keep things up over a distance, for a little while. This wouldn't fizzle out like Einar had--after all, that wasn't at all the same as Caes. And hopefully he wouldn't meet some other fascinating person at Hogwarts after she was gone...
