Book? Jonathan doesn't read. OHHHHHH... the book. She's referring to the one he's holding. "This one?" he lifted the book up for her to see clearly. "I don't read" he giggled to himself. "My mom gave it to me to read over the holidays but since I don't like reading at all, I'll be giving it as a gift to a friend" he shared that thought. Jonathan doesn't even know why his mother keeps giving him books when he specifically told her NEVER to give him books. The one he is holding is not even a school book. It's literary. Something mystery and murder perhaps? How would he know, he hasn't even opened the thing.
Now it was time for Nika to preform some sarcasm of her own.
"No I was talking about the other book you had in your hands." She said chuckling. It was her best at sarcasm so you must give her that much.
"Yes, that book." She said with a chuckle. Don't read? Nika read... if you counted the occasional muggle magazines, but even then she really only looked at the pictures.
"Yeah I don't really read either. That's why picture books are my favorites." She said with a big, stupid grin on her face. She just left the reading for her friends... and the ravenclaws.
"Why read when you can watch the movie!?" She felt a bit ashamed of saying that but it was true. Reading was for smart people, not the lazy.

Taking in her appearance, the firstie noticed her friend's adorable earmuffs. 'Wow, those earmuffs are really cute!' she gasped loudly. Secretly, the girl wished she had a pair just like that.
'I'd be glad if you helped me. It's quite a lot of work and it'll get dark pretty soon.' Ari replied. 'The first bit is finished, we need one more just a tad smaller and then one for the head.' she explained. 'So, let's start.' Ariadne chuckled, wondering where this sudden cheerfulness of hers came from. Probably Nika's good mood was contagious. 'So what have you been doing lately?' Ari asked, while gathering some more snow.
Nika beamed at Ari,
"I missed you too! It's really been too long!" She smiled appreciatively when her friend complimented the earmuffs.
And the people at home said they were stupid. Heh.
"Thanks!" Nika didn't really like hats or earmuffs too much, but when they were cute little animals who could resist!?
Nika jumped up in the air and let out a loud,
"YAY!" The snow was actually a lot of fun. So far she made snow angels, had a small snowball fight, and now to make a snow man. She bent down to pack together some snow as she heard Ari speak again.
"Oh nothing much. Just homework, classes, seeing friends, and oh you know the usual." She said with a small smile. Nika didn't even want to mention what had happened between her and Emily. She felt like she had already told too many people and she didn't want it to become a big deal. Besides she was already doing such a great job of masking her sadness. Why go and ruin a perfectly cheerful mood?!
"What's going on with you?"
