Hmm. Ministry worker. What department? Was she from a good family? Was she well-mannered? So many questions she'd have to ask Manolo in her next letter. "That's nice. I wonder what grandfather will think of her." Presley said aloud. Awar would understand the billions of speculations contained in that small statement. "What about you?" she nidged the eleven year old playfully. "Any cute boys caught your eye yet?" Though she was almost twelve. Presley would have to get her a gift next Hogsmeade weekend.
Awar also wondered the same as Presley every time something involved her family. She nodded,
"Or what will grandmother say?" She felt more intimidated by her grandmother, feeling that she was the more judgmental one.
Awar's cheeks grew bright red.
"Presley!" Boys??? She's had crushes on boys, but boys have never had a crush on her. Or so she thinks. She hid her face,
"No..." Quote:

The enthusiasm was something that made him smile a bit more. He remembered being that enthusiastic about everything as a firstie as well. And if anyone mentioned ice cream... well... GRIN. "That's really awesome!" Not... that she was homesick though. But everything else. "And... yeah. Hogwarts does feel like your second home after a while..." And Hufflepuff? What an awesome house for making another family. Alec nodded along at the favourites and least favourites. Yeah. "Oh Muggle Studies! Lots of superheroes this term!" GRIN GRIN GRIN. Although... he didn't know whether Awar liked superheroes or not. But superheroes were awesome! And History of Magic? "Well... between you and me... I'm not great at that subject either," he said, hoping this would... help her feel better? Who knows. "Erm... and... it's good to be not good at a subject, yeah?" You know... since he was the third year so really, he should be saying something wise. Yeah.
So Awar didn't play? That was cool too. Yeah! At least she watched it and still liked it, yeah? And Alec was kind of glad. Those Bludgers were scary sometimes! O_O "Yeah? Do you support a professional team?" GRIN.
Awar felt relieved that she wasn't the only one sucking at HoM. It felt like that sometimes. She leaned in and whispered,
"Don't worry. You're secret's safe with me."
Hmm, a professional team...
"My brother is a big fan of Puddlemere United, so sometimes I side with them, but I feel like I'm more of a Holyhead Harpies fan."
