The trip home is always the best? Nika slightly shrugged and nodded. Well that hadn't really answered the "How are you", but eh whatever. It's not like Nika really cared too much anyways. She only asked to try and be polite, but apparently that gets you no where.
"Funny, last term I thought the complete opposite, but I think this term I'm more than happy to go home." The more Nika thought about it the more it made sense. Lexi probably had some sort of drama going on to. Sure it took Nika this long to figure it out, but that's why she isn't a Ravenclaw. "I'm just staying home and keeping myself busy I guess." Hopefully befriending her sister again, but that's pretty much it. Besides she didn't have too many other friends around home to hang out with. And that's why she isn't a Hufflepuff either. "How about you, have you got any big plans?"
Lexi noticed Merlin acting a fool and sighed as she clucked at him a bit. "
He's not mine... he is a pain. A royal one. I have been cat sitting for a year now. The monkey was a gift, too. The owl is my familiar," she explained as Merlin seemed to almost pull a face with her. Haughty cat, he was.
"
The trip home is the shortest trip, by far. It's quite peaceful. And the prospect of getting a change of scenery always seems to bring joy," she said with a little nod. "
But yeah, your VERY FIRST trip to Hogwarts is the most amazing. I know. Even if mine was a few years ago." No one ever forgot their first time to Hogwarts. Or their first time in Diagon Alley. Lovely rights of passage as they were.
"
All of my plans are always big," she said with a giggle. Then she reached over to fetch Rufus. "
I am going to Asia. Tibet, India, China... who knows. I want to backpack. We'll see how that works out. Although... so long as there is food, a place to sleep, and running water I think I will be fine. And then I am going home for a while. My home that is. I haven't got any family to speak of... none that I would go visit anyway." So in a sense she was staying busy, too. Just in a different way.
