However, she wondered about something. "Is it bad?" Her face mirrored her concern and slight confusion, "People who seek influence and authority. They're usually the ones who fall easily into the abyss of greed and darkness." Louisa read enough to learn this fact. "But what if they just want to be have a better influence on the world." Her tone was skeptic, she didn't know the real answer apparently.

"It's a secret though!" The redhead added quickly, "I haven't told anyone about it." Except Vickers of course. She just told him they were working on a surprise for the students around the winter holidays. So Vick and Vivi. "Yep, the prefects along with the quidditch captains and the staff. It's going to be really fun." Pause. "And quite stuffing." She pretended to poke Vivi's hidden-under-a-thousand-blankets tummy.

She rolled back onto her back, tucked her arms under the blanket for more warmth, and folded them on her stomach. "I haven't really asked you this before. I could feel that you're not so happy with the professors, but what about the students? Did you click with anyone yet?" A sly smile made its way onto Louisa's face, she meant friends basically but if Vivi felt like doing girly talk about crushes, who's hot and who's not, Louisa was up for it too. Hehe.
"Bad? I suppose it depends, doesn't it? Some people want power to wield it over others, and some want to be able to help change the world and leave a mark. It's just my own sense of right and wrong that says the first is a waste and the second is good." Vivi wasn't about to force her own morality on someone else, especially not when Louisa was just as young as Vivi was and still trying to figure out what she wanted from life.

"If it's a secret, then I won't tell, and I'll ask my mother to arrange a Floo back to Hogwarts so I'll be here to enjoy it," Vivi decided, satisfied little smile on her lips. She wouldn't feel as if she was missing out on anything, but she'd still get Christmas with her family. It was perfect.

Her smile faded a bit. Was she just wearing all her opinions out on her sleeve? Probably... Vivi wasn't great at subtlety. "I don't really dislike the professors. They've just been all built up because they're Hogwarts professors, but it turns out they're just like professors anywhere. Some are rubbish, some are pointlessly cruel, and mostly they're just... fine." Not extraordinary but fine. As for students, Vivi wasn't sure what Louisa wanted to know. If she'd made friends?

"Some, I suppose. It's hard, you know... humans are pattern-seekers, and I break their patterns. There isn't much room for new friends this late in the game, but Selina and Kurumi have made some room for me. Sierra a bit, but she's... not trustworthy. She's too scared of being wrong. The Quidditch team is good for a laugh. And Vick, of course."
