Then she'd hug Rosemary and threaten to sell her to the nearest zoo for funnies. Not that the ole tortoise was very responsive to her taunts--or at all.

Yeah, life was a bit weird like that.

Cela, Celestina had learned, was Adri's little sister. In that way, she was Nico's little sister too. Briony seemed to get along okay with her. That was a relief.

"I don't particularly like broccoli," she added, thinking it was an essential detail to share with both Raiden and Nico. Pursing her lips, she worked around Nico's jacket on her legs to finish strapping on her shoes. Bringing her legs down, Bucky tapped her feet against the ground happily. She was still thinking over Nico's question but hadn't come up with anything good. "I think that would make me happy," she chirped, smiling at Raiden. "If you asked a girl to dance. I saw a lot of girls inside when I was at the food table. I guess that's Hogwarts' way of making up for the lack of lactose free items."

Hogwarts was always trying to kill her with cramps. Bucky rubbed her cold nose and inspected Nico out of the corner of her eyes. That shirt he had on was snazzy. Maybe she should point it out. "I like your shirt. It makes you look very impressive. Like an undercover agent."

Did Nico know such muggle things?"
"Duly noted." Nicholai smiled at Bucky. "No broccoli." He rubbed at his forearm, fingers idly tracing the red seam of a scar that was only just visible in the low light, running along the muscle in a slash downward from somewhere beneath his rolled sleeves.

He smiled at Raiden too. That was kind of cute that Bucky wanted Raiden to find someone to dance with as well. Nico had always considered dancing fun actually, as it was one of the few pursuits of leisure encouraged in his home.

"An undercover agent?" Nico laughed. "Ah but, if I were, wouldn't the point be to not look like one? Still, I suppose I can't complain if you're impressed. I guess thats the idea when it comes to a date." He gave her a lopsided smile and shrug. It sort of felt like he'd forgotten really.

Something Raiden wasn't particularly good at, nor was he sure there were many girls that would be so inclined as to dance with him. He'd gotten much better since the lessons, but he still wasn't nearly as good at it as others.

He could always bother Nia or something, he guessed. If she wasn't dancing her feet off already.

"I could, I guess. That's what these things are about, isn't it... dancing." He resisted the urge to wrinkle his nose. Instead, he grinned at Celestina. "Do you mind saving one for me later, maybe? If you're not dancing with Nico the entire time."

And if she didn't get rushed to St. Mungos to save her poor feet from the torture devices strapped to them.

Who was he going to bother about dancing. HMMMMM.
"Dancing and socialising." Nico agreed. "You make it sound like a chore." He pointed out, raising one eyebrow. "Not a big dancer, Raiden?"

He leaned his forearms on his knees and sat forward, hands clasped loosely and quite comfortably.

"I'd have expected lessons would have been compulsory or something." He remarked
