She glanced up with surprise and offered a sheepish smile. "It isn't that I want to get out of here. Just distracted, I think," she followed Louisa's movements with interest, and when she pulled the package through the window, Vivi looked on with interest. Of all the people Vivi had prepared a gift for, how funny that Louisa was the one to have a gift in return.

With markedly more enthusiasm, she tore into the wrapping. Oh... Merlin, this was a handy little gift. She studied the different Muggle currencies in the frame with interest, poring over details and the little label at the bottom. Finally, she turned a grin upon Louisa. "It's brilliant. Thank you. I'll keep it in my desk next year at the Ministry for reference."

She actually had her own gifts on her, and Vivi pulled a flat package out of her satchel. "Happy Christmas to you as well."

... 'and they're not dead yet'. Ouch. Louisa frowned at the words but kept her eyes on the two cats. She couldn't get mad at Vivi, though, the girl doesn't know of Kitty nor Atropos nor this summer's drama. "I don't know. I think what I feel for those who gave me the cats extended to the creatures themselves." her frown fell then and she scratched Cuddles behind the ears lovingly. "Distracted?" It.. didn't make sense but alright.

The enthusiasm that Vivi showed was overwhelming that the small frown from before was quickly forgotten and replaced with a bright anticipating smile. OH! Brilliant? And she'll keep it as a reference? Just.. wow. Louisa couldn't help but feel proud. And touched. "I'm really glad you're not going to throw it in the basement." Hehe, that's where Louisa's trash went back home.

Apart from her alumni friends, no one gave Louisa a Christmas present so far. She never really acknowledged this simple gesture before, friends were supposed to remember each other with a card at least, and until this year Louisa took it for granted, that cozy and happy feeling you get when you know someone thought of you without you being there with them.

She left her spot near the cats and excitedly ~~snatched~~ took the TWO -- not one but TWO packages from Vivi. "You know, you're the first one to say it to me this year, Vivi." She informed the roomie, tearing at the first package eagerly. Louisa hoped it was one of her favorite presents, a book, and it was! And not just any book, one that'd get them closer to their goal of defeating Scabior. "Oh, wow!" Louisa's fire had two different sides; It burns when she's ticked off but it glows when she's pleased, like right then. The next smaller package was more feminine and... touching. She stared down at the rune carved on the silvery necklace before looking up at Vivi and pulling her in a one-armed friendly hug. "Thank you. They're really great." See, now Louisa might have lost a friend this term, but she gained another!
