She didn't have many friends because she was labeled as the "weird girl". Kids judged her easily because of the weird things that kept happening around her. But it wasn't her fault. She was "weird" and she was "different" but at Hogwarts everyone is. She finally found a place where she belongs and now that she had true friends she would always stick by them towards the very end.
Nika smiled enthusiastically. Honeydukes was the best. Even though the only thing she got from the sweet shop was chocolate frogs, they were amazing. Too bad they don't have them where Nika lives. She'd buy some everyday. "The three broomsticks..." She repeated slowly. Which one was that again? RIGHT BUTTERBEER! Nika's eyes suddenly grew bigger as she beamed. "The Three Broomsticks is the best! Well I've only had the butterbeer, but it's amazing!" She said with a mad grin. Butterbeer was the perfect drink for Nika. Nice, sweet, and warm. YUM.
Nika put the two rocks on the snow man's head as she waited for Ari to come back with a carrot. She thought it'd take a while considering the first year would have to run into the castle and all, but really the girl was back in no time at all! "Wow your fast!" She commented as Ari returned. "It's perfect!" No to find something for the mouth....
During the slightly long pause, Ariadne wondered what Nika was thinking about. Maybe her sudden outburst about friendship sounded too pompous or too much of a cliche.But then Nika nodded. No need to worry.
'Now I feel sorry I didn't get the chance to go there.' Ari sighed when she saw how enthusiastic her friend got about the Three Broomsticks and butterbeer.
'Do you have any idea when the next weekend to Hogsmeade will be?' Ariadne asked.
When she returned from the kitchen, still out of breath, the girl smiled at Nika's comment about being quick.
'Do you think this counts as running for Borr's DADA assignment? I won't be running like this anytime soon.' she chuckled.
'Aha! Look, I think we can use these twigs as hands.' Ari improvised.
'And this still leaves us...in search for a mouth.' she concluded.
'Maybe we can put an enchantment on this snowman, make him special. I used to build a lot of these back home with my Muggle friends, but this one should be different, since we're at Hogwarts. What do you think?'
