She could not help but feel a little disappointed at his answer. And her face might have shown it too, the disappointment. Danika still listened while he answered, and then smiled.
"I sort of knew you vere from the States" like Sabel, the accent gave them away. Especially to those who were not so familiar with English, like herself, though she had improved wonderfully while in here.
The climate thing was not just about having the right clothes, though, one needed to know how to move in the coldness of Greenland. Such a nice place.
"I see, too bad, I vas kind of hoping to have a bodyguard vhen I went to Antarctica" that was the final destination, for this summer, at least, she was still waiting for Sandra's confirmation...
...and Danika
almost said 'up north', because that question was usually followed by someone asking where Durmstrang was. As if she will be the one to tell.
"I vas born in Iceland, but after I turned seven ve moved to Russia" there was something like a flash of sadness when she mentioned the word 'seven' but it was instantly gone when she continued to speak. Seven, not her favorite age, especially since she was still certain that
that accident had changed their paths in life.
"So, as for now, Russia...it vill be back to Iceland next year" sooooo, 'when in Iceland...' you know who to look for,
"One could say I am used to the cold by now".
Dark gray eyes on Salander now, and there was a slight nod,
"Yes and no. It is from Durmstrang..." her adored school,
"...it used to be the traditional vear..." for women,
"...vhen events vhere celebrated..." notice how she did not say 'Ball',
"...many, many years ago" like hundreds,
"Ve do not do so anymore" mainly because Zitnik is not one who enjoys these sort of celebration. Her costume related more to the era when wizards and witches ruled the world than to anything recent, but it was new.
No more talks about weather, that is prohibited.
"How long until you leave Hogvarts?" like, the school forever, not just for the summer.
Is that disappointment? Did he say something wrong? Did he
sound wrong-- like how some Englishfolk would say to him-- that he mispronounces everything? Good thing she clarifies
"You're headed to Antarctica? Thats.... way down south." Yeah a lot further south than Mia's Australia. But he had to grin, she actually considered him to be her bodyguard?
"Well.... you know I can adapt." With a lot of help. Wouldnt there be something that can help keep him warm in those frigid clime? Something to check with his Head of House.
"Not that I dont think you can protect yourself, but in case you need an extra hand, I dont mind helping you fend off all those..... penguins." Yeah dangerous lot those waddling, flightless birds.
So she's from Iceland.... and Russia! Well thats
"Interesting.... part of my lineage is Russian-- my dad's mother's side. Thats before they migrated to the States. Visited family there too, long ago, when I was really young." and his folks were still together. Ah well, thats the way the cookie crumbles... It did not escape his notice that there may have been something that prompted her to leave. He wondered if she wanted to talk about it, only one way to find out...
"Someone once told me about Iceland-- 'Greenland is full of ice, and Iceland is very nice.' So is Iceland.... not full of ice?" he smiled curiously.
His eyes fell onto her dress as she explained her attire,
Gosh it looks so good on her..... Ahem.
"So its a traditional Durmstrang gown? Its very nice. Looks great on you." Good grief he hoped he didnt come across as a creep with that statement.
"Well, maybe you could suggest to your Headmaster... " his eyes shifted to the Staff table, the Durmstrang Head looked like he could lop someone's arms off
"... Or perhaps your deputy Headmaster if you have one... to bring back some Durmstrang traditional celebrations. A party or two never hurt anybody." Not usually anyway.
He leaned back in his seat on her next question.
"Uhm... you know what, I never really thought about it...." he started, having only realized that he managed to complete a year without any notice from the Headmaster for a dismissal. A pleasant surprise indeed, certainly better than the numbing shock of
'Please Dont Come Back.' "Hopefully I can be back here for my fifth year next term." Yeah he still didnt want get his hopes too high.
"So I guess thats three more years." Something to look forward to right?

King Champion GlitterPuff stood up, suddenly, and adjusted his crown. He cleared his throat and raised his water goblet, tap-tap-tapping it just a little with one of his spoons. Once he had their attention, he would speak just loud enough for those seated at the table to hear.
"Ahem. My fellow champions, friends... everyone." Fletcher looked around at the group and nodded. "I just wanted to announce that it has been a true pleasure getting to know all of you this term, and especially having the privilege to compete with you. It's been real, it's been fun, and it's been real fun.
"And I wanted to add that I plan to have a reunion party for all of us champions later this summer, funds permitting, and of course you all and your dates are invited."
There. Toast given, Fletcher beamed and made a motion to bump his glass toward Rae's. "Now then, I propose a toast. To us! For we are the champions, my friends."
He turns when he hears clinking spoon on glass, but not before noticing
Holy Catnip! Is that... the Beauxbaton mudslinging babe? Well lets hope she didnt bring that whip....
His attention returns to Fletcher as he started to speak. The Slytherin lad smiled politely and held his head up proudly, but couldnt help smirking on the "real fun" part.
Oh yeah he sure had a good time didnt he? "Here! Here!" the Slytherin lad declared, raising his own goblet up to toast. He wanted to get up, take Rae's and Danika's hands and raise them over his head, sway and start singing that awesome song, but that would be inappropriately. Besides, he wasnt buzzed enough to start he usual buffoonery. Ah the missed opportunity, he would've been more than happy to show some of the stuffy Champions what its really like to party like a rockstar.
"Hope you can squeeze in his party in your plans for the summer." he said as he turned back to Danika.
