She was obviously pumped up.
Jillian McGuffin grinned and yelled "GOOOOO LIONS!" fist, punching the air, before she opted to sitting down with her friends. "So," she said calmly as she reached for some cookies [and didn't act like a complete whacko]. "What's new with you guys?"
Anna didn't even bother to turn around where she heard the sound of the doors to the Great Hall being pushed open with a great force. She knew it had to be one of her fellow housemates, excited about Gryffindor's recent House Cup victory. Sure enough, when Anna finally decided to turn and look, she caught sight of her good friend Jillian tearing through the Great Hall and sprinting over to the house table.
Anna giggled when Jillain roared and then yelled out. It felt nice to know that all the hard work they'd done this whole term had paid off. Gryffindor had finally won the house cup!!! "Isn't this exciting, Jillian?" Anna asked. "I'm so proud of everyone! I wanted this victory soooooo badly! WE DID IT! WE FINALLY DID IT!" Anna reached over and gave Jillian a big hug, delighted to share the excitement with her co-Gryffindor. "Well, Cale and I are getting ready to leave for Hawaii soon. I'm so excited---my first trip to America! What are your plans?"

"Yes, Hawaii!!!" Anna replied. "Oh, I will! I'll write to you as much as I can, and I'll even send pictures! Maybe I can get a nice magical shot of me attempting to surf!"

You know what I've always wanted to do?" he asked as he reached across the table and grabbed a dinner roll, taking a big bite out of it a second later, "I wanna try and break a coconut open. Oh, and go surfing!" he added as he took a sip of water to wash down his roll. He put down the goblet and paused, wrinkling his eyebrows. "Wait a minute, are there sharks in Hawaii?"
"I know! I can't wait! I want to swim...and surf...and tan...and walk the beaches!" Anna exclaimed. "It'll be so exciting!" In her excitement, Anna reached over and gave Cale one of the tightest hugs she'd ever given him. "...and another magical summer with you at that!"
"Break a coconut open?" Anna questioned. "I don't think I'm strong enough for that. You'll have to break mine open for me once you get your's open." Anna blinked her eyes and gave Cale a look when he mentioned wanting to surf. "Cale, are you sure you're ready to attempt surfing? I mean, those waves can cause an awful lot of falls, and you know how you---oh, nevermind! I can't wait to try surfing, either! ...and yes, there are sharks in Hawaii---lots of them. Don't worry, though. You have to go pretty far out to chance getting your leg bitten off. I'd say at the most, those sharks may just chop off a lock or two of your hair."
