He recalled the way she'd greeted him with a headbutt on Christmas break, and smiled with a shake of the head.
"I guess... I don't really know what I'm up to this summer. I think I might try for my M license, so I can get around in the Muggle world but don't have to drive my sisters everywhere." His summer plans weren't really for when he was still a child. Given the heads-up by his sister eavesdropping on his parents, he'd learned his fate upon graduation and he was already scheming to avoid it.
The fictional occupants of Kellen's island screamed in terror as a giant metal object descended from the sky and split the land in twain, "But I think I'll miss Hogwarts too, when I'm two years down the road and in your shoes. I'm hoping to wriggle out from under my father's thumb and travel for a few years before I get tied down to the house."
"I'm the only girl. And the youngest. I have four older brothers." Cela offered in return, just a little wistful. She'd have loved younger siblings so that she wouldn't have been alone when the others all went off to school. Considering the next oldest after Cela was four years above her, it had been a long while little Celandine had been completely on her own. Attention starved then. And now she got more than her fair share.
"M license? Is that for cars?" Cela considered this. "I have my apparition license, I got it last summer." She doubted that she'd ever have the chance to get a muggle license... "I rode on the back of a scooter thing once, and I have a motorbike helmet with flowers on it."
Because these things were obviously comparable to M licenses.
"Tied down?" She created a river through her potato island, moving the fork through until the gravy flooded a channel. "My brother, the heir, the eldest, he was engaged for FIVE years before he got married." So Kellen could manage like, two or whatever. See?
