Yes, while Hogwarts was a huge school, Ary would like to think that by the time he touched fifth year, he’d have gotten through all the exploration. Maybe Vera was just slow. Maybe she didn’t have exploration buddies {which was just plain sad}. Or maybe exploring wasn’t high on her priority list as she thought it was.

“It’s not. If I want to come here again, someone will have to piggyback me.” Ary tapped his chin thoughtfully. “Or levitate me but that person’ll have to be really good with spellwork.” This little boy was not looking to be injured, thank you very much! “Do you usually change favourite spots when you discover one that you like?” he continued with interest. Did it mean she did the same when it came to humans or creatures? Did Vera enjoy replacing things, hmmm? Ary looked away, trying to decide if he should burden her with his issues.

Then again…

If she was going to avoid his unasked question, then fine. He wasn’t about to enlighten Vera with his woes. Ary fixed the older girl with a look that said quite clearly that he did not believe a word that just came out of her mouth. “Uh huh.”


She'd probably admit to the fact that Aryan was certainly someone who could be far more focused than herself, so by his fifth year it was quite possible he would have already explored every corner. She had definitely been a little bit distracted, particularly in recent years. It'd be fun to see though too how distracted HE and the other young ones would get. Maybe she should get held back a year or so to actually see how everything played out?

"Levitation sounds like it'd be easier. AND also really good spell practice. It's a win, win. You get a free ride and they get to get better at spell casting." At least on Wingardium Leviosa that was. She considered Aryan's question, before giving a small nod. "I guess sort of? I mean, my secondary favorites seem to rotate. But the boathouse is still number one." All of her favorite memories with her core friend group had been made there. And it still remained one of the most comforting places to go lay in a boat and think. And had he asked if she changed her favorite people, that at least would have taken no thought when she responded with a no. She'd made a lot more friends, sure, but the core remained the same as it had from her very first year.

This first year was really far too intuitive for his own good. Returning his look, she couldn't help the soft laugh that escaped her as she gently bumped his shoulder against his. "Fine, you got me. I was just thinking about how change is hard to adjust to. Good, bad, all of it. Your turn?"
