"However, I would think that the daughter of president Rae-Branxton has to run certain stuff through a committee for approval." She couldn't help but flash her an amused grin.

And before Louisa could shoot a question at the Ravenclaw, Vivi slid out of her bed. Louisa scooted to the side, giving the blonde more space on her bed, and was about to move her own blanket but decided otherwise. Double-blanketting with Vivi would be one step closer to being close friends with the girl. "Only two is left anyway." She said regarding to the cookies, and arranged the pillows so Vivi could lean back on them. "Here," one cookie was offered and the other was stared at.

"Like how does it feel having your mother in school with you? I mean.." She maneuvered herself to look at the girl, "Don't you feel a bit... watched? Or is it reassuring? Your mother seemed really nice, and smart, when I met her in the compartment." Sheer curiosity here, and even if the president didn't stay in school full-time, she did come over quite a lot, right? Louisa was curious about how it felt to have a witch-mother, too, instead of a magic-phobic one but that wasn't very urging anymore.

"My mother..." Vivi began, finally breaking the silence on a topic she didn't really like to speak about. Not because she didn't love her mother or sort of worship the ground she walked on, but because she never wanted to use her mother as a crutch. Not as a reason people had to pretend to like her, not as someone scary she could run and hide behind, not as a measuring stick people were comparing her against.

She began again as she settled into the pillows and picked up the cookie. "My mother has always tried to raise us to be as normal as possible, which is hard considering my father is rather well-known himself, and because he's exacting and has ridiculous standards of appropriate behavior in all things." And she adored him too. Talk about ridiculous. "So no. No committees. No unreasonable expectations. I thought I'd hate having her here, but so far, it's been sort of nice. She belongs in this place more than anyone." And it patched up places inside Vivi that had been broken during that year of not seeing her mother around Hogwarts as a small child.

"My mother is the very best person I know." She licked a smudge of chocolate from her thumb and gave Louisa a crooked little smile. "And I'm nothing like her."
