Though the girl was quite confident for her age.. much more than he had been, that's for sure, for she boarded the train with him, yet insisted on going off with her newly formed friends. "I think I would have liked a brother as well, though.." He mused aloud.
So, this Dr. Seuss seemed to be a well-renowned author in her home. "That's cool.. passing it on to your sister and everything." Perhaps it was like tradition or something of the sort.
Well, thankfully she simply found her arm muscles to be a light topic of conversation and not one she was all that serious about. He lifted his head a little to see what she was retrieving from her bag, and it turned out to be lip gloss. He watched her apply it at first, but then quickly averted his eyes to the scenery outside the window. "Yep, swimming." He enjoyed it tremendously, actually. He repetition, the breathing patterns, the exercise. "I'm guessing you don't share my fancy for it?" Judging by her wide eyes. She liked running, eh? "So do I," he smiled. "Long runs.. not so much sprints." It turned out that she was good at quidditch, unlike himself. More power to her; that game required a lot of focus. "Which position do you prefer?"
Lucie just gave a shrug. "
Yeah, I don't really know what my parent's were thinking when they decided to have more kids 14 year later," she mused, rolling her eyes. She really would have been fine if they would have stopped there. The girl never minded being the youngest. Hmm...a sister? She laughed a little. "T
hat's what everyone wishes until they actually get one." Now she'd rather not have a younger sister. Let alone 2. "
What house is your sister in?" she asked.
"
I haven't been to that part of our library for a long time. So I'm not in tears over it," she explained with a plain expression on her face. She had gotten over it since she was 9. It wasn't really hers anymore. She had her own part of the library now.
She giggled slightly and gave a shake of her head. "
Actually I'm terrified of swimming. It's just...." she fiddled with the zipper on her backpack. "
...I don't know how to swim," Lucie finished in a small voice. She wasn't scared of the water, but she didn't know how to stay above and breathe. She smiled and looked back up at him. "
Me too. I hope there's rooms on the grounds for jogging. Do you like jogging in the early morning or at night?" she questioned, looking over at him, then smiling to herself because of how cute he was. "
Usually Chaser. At least that's what my brother and cousin's always stuck me as. Occasionally seeker." She was built to be fast not strong.
