She would miss Hogwarts, but she really just wanted to return home. She probably hadn't seen Mari or any of her foster family in over a year!... considering she had gone on that trip with Rachel and Reid, which had taken up the entire summer vacation. Not to dwell on that summer though... Livvy had had enough of remembering it all at the end of the term feast, much thanks to Crazyfreakylucygirl.
Sighing, she heaved her trunk and bird cage onto the trunk area and made her way onto the train. Already it was noisy. Boy would this be a long ride. Though, Livvy hoped that she'd be able to make a few rounds and bid her seventh year buddies a final goodbye. She would miss them. Oh yes. She really would. Livvy wondered if she would ever see them again. In fact. she wondered if she was even going to stay in London? Would she move there? Would she stay in Taiwan? It was all too confusing and Livvy really just wanted to focus on saying goodbye to her friends. Especially Copernicus and Plymouth. And Reid. And... maaayyybbe Willow. Depending on whether or not the girl was in a good mood. But Livvy had played Quidditch under Willow's wing for three terms... a goodbye should be in order.
No matter. Livvy just shrugged as she continued along her way through the hallway, searching for a compartment that possibly had a familiar face? If not, she would just resort to sitting alone. Peeking in through each and every one, Livvy finally came upon one with a face she knew all too well. "Hello there, Mr. Hemingway. Mind if I join you?" she asked, humorously. After their little "talk", if that's what you could call it, a few days ago, Livvy felt more comfortable around the boy.
And she wanted to spend at least an hour... just an hour!... with the boy before he left and probably never saw her again.
Opening his eyes slowly, almost reluctantly Reid at first didn't notice the body that went along with the voice. A voice he recognised yet had trouble placing. Blinking slightly he turned his head to the right, to face the compartment door and noticed Livvy standing there. Someone who he hadn't thought he'd see in a while if at all considering he was probably moving back to America when all was said and done.
Giving the girl a slightly amused smirk Reid made a gesture that meant that she was allowed to come in and sit if she chose too. "If you want," he said, matching the gesture with words just to make sure she knew he didn't mind if she came in. Plus he figured that if someone asked you something you should always respond verbally as well as physically. Unless you were under a Silencio in which case speaking wouldn't be possible that is.
"Are you looking forward to the break?" Reid enquired deciding that small talk would be an appropriate action until they found some common interests that they could talk about. That and he was genuinely curious for some strange and unfathomable reason. Just like he'd written in that seventh year book thing Rachel really had changed him into a better person. A person he sometimes didn't recognise.
