Originally Posted by Squishy  Lux could totally relate to liking dresses, because she herself had been finding them more and more appealing as time went on. "At the start of last term, I never wanted to be in a dress ever, and by the end of it, I was loving them." It was amazing how growing up worked, and how she was finally starting to understand people like her sister Willa, who loved fashion. "I haven't really had much experience dancing, most of what I've done is my own little dances." Not an embarrassing confession, since a lot of people had seen her bust out random dances when she was happy or excited. "When we did the dancing lessons last term, Louis and Sander told me that I was a natural, and that was my first time doing real dances and not something I made up." Maybe it would be fun for her to take more lessons! The thought of having some more shoes was really appealing, and Ana was a wonderful friend for offering. "I am a 6 1/2. I used to be a 6 last term!" If they were too big - which was a real possibility - they could always be resized.
The compliment made Lux blush slightly. She did not think she was all that pretty or anything, though people did compliment her on her looks. "My mom is really pretty. I've seen older pictures of her, and she looked a lot like I do now." Seemed that Ana took more after her grandmother, and Lux took after her mother. It was funny how genetics worked like that sometimes. When she was younger, she thought that everyone simply took after their parents, and that was that. Nodding along, she tried her best to keep track with all the members of her friend's family since there seemed to be quite a bit of them; hopefully one day she would meet Ana's siblings and parents. The thought of a doppelgänger was rather interesting, if not strange. "So you could also meet someone on the street that looks as if they could be your twin? Hypothetically speaking of course. Maybe not everyone has a doppelgänger?" How weird it would be if she was in Diagon Alley and spotted a girl who looked the exact same as her!
Listening as Ana talked about Terry and cucumber sandwiches, Lux nodded along. "People sometimes share sandwiches?" It was not something that she had ever thought of doing. It seemed very unlikely that her and Bay would ever do that unless it was turkey or something; he really did make nice turkey sandwiches. "I know that everyone has different tastes and that it's good to respect that. I learned it last term." See, she was growing!
Yaaay, another hug! Smiling, Lux returned it before getting more serious at the talk of Bart. "He is doing much better now, though I haven't seen him in a little while." Lux wondered where her buddy was, and hoped that she would be able to find him soon. "He had his stroke in class, and I felt so bad because I didn't notice it at the time." That was something she still felt a little bad about.
"I've loved dresses ever since I was a little girl. My papa was quite indulgent with me. I had lots of gowns as well, even though I couldn't possibly need them. I liked dressing up as a princess though, especially after seeing the movie Anastasia," Ana revealed, eyes clouding over slightly as she thought back on her childhood. Those days seemed so far away now. It was scary to think that in less than 12 months she'd be of age and considered for all intents and purposes to be an adult. It made her long for childhood again. "Well, dancing is meant to be fun, and so as long as the way you dance makes you happy that's all that really matters. I love dancing, and I know a lot of formal dances but sometimes the best feeling is simply dancing crazily to loud music and not worrying about any proper steps." Just as long as no one saw you doing it, because that could be tres embarrassing. A 6.5? Ana could definitely work with that. She was a 6.5-7 herself so she should have some shoes that fit. In fact, there was that pair which was too small that she'd been planning to resize... They were a wedge heel and it wasn't all that high either. "I have just the shoes. I'll give them to you when we get to school and you can see if they fit, and if you think you'd be comfortable trying to walk in them," Ana told Lux decisively.
Ana had to refrain from smiling in amusement as it seemed like Lux was struggling trying to keep up with Ana's family members. A lot of people seemed to have issues with it, although to Ana herself it wasn't all that complicated. Then again it was her family so it shouldn't be. Although her extended family could confuse even her sometimes since there were a lot of them spread out around the world. The family Christmas' were always a good time to catch up and attempt to remember the names of people you only saw once a year. "Potentially yes. I met a girl at school last year who had a pretty adverse reaction to me. Seems a look exactly like her boyfriends best friend. I don't know why that was a bad thing but it was," Ana told her with a slight shrug to indicate that she wasn't really certain on this subject. "It would also be possible that you don't have a double, although of course there are people who'd look similar to you from a distance if not up close."
Didn't Lux know that people shared food? "Yep. Like with everything else sharing is caring. You can eat one half of the sandwich whilst another person eats the other half," Ana affirmed, nodding her head slightly to emphasise her point a bit. Ana liked sharing sandwiches. It meant that when she wasn't too hungry she didn't need to worry about wasting food if someone else was going to eat some of it too. "That's very good Lux," Ana praised. Some grown ups didn't seem to know how to accept and respect differences in taste so it was good that Lux did.
Ana nodded solemnly as Lux gave her the lo-down on Bart's health, laying a comforting hand on Lux's arm as she talked about not having noticed that the boy was having a stroke in class. "I'm sure a lot of people didn't know Lux. There are signs for these things of course but unless you've read about them or are a qualified healer you really can't have been expected to notice them. It's nothing to feel bad about." She was sure that Bart wouldn't want Lux to feel bad about it either. Besides, in class it wasn't like Lux could have been expected to be paying attention to Bart enough to notice any signs even if she had known what they were, and she was a child herself, even if she was growing up.

Originally Posted by Lottiepot Having lost his girlfriend at the train station, mostly due to the sheer number of students and the constant fussing and attention from his mum about it being his last year and him needing to choose which career path to go down very soon, the Slytherin made his way onto the train with minutes to spare. Once inside and with the train moving on swiftly, he dodged his way down the corridor, side-stepping students who congregated in the halls for Merlin knew what reason.
He was just reaching a compartment about to look inside when he almost accidentally collided with a small looking student. A first year perhaps? He put on his breaks, digging his heels into the floor and pausing inches away from her. ”Sorry about that” he chuckled then looked at her expression. ”Are you okay?” he asked. Was it just him or did she seem a little sad? He continued on down the train, peeking briefly through every window until he found the one he was looking for. And it wasn’t long until he did, there sat by the window was Ana along with her friend Lux. He knocked on the door, opening it and poking his head around. ”I hope you don’t mind an interruption ladies?” he question looking between the two of them. ”Unless you’re having precious girl bonding time in which case, I’ll go find my mates.” No big deal.
He waited for an answer before he sat himself down, he respected their wishes after all. And sometimes girls wanted individually girly time with their friend’s right? He was sure he’d be able to find Theo or West somewhere, although the majority of his friends were prefects and he wouldn’t have access to their compartment. He grinned expectantly at the pair, eager for their response.
Ana turned from Lux, moving to smile hesitantly at Terry as he stood in the doorway. "What do you say Lux? Can Terry join us?" Ana herself didn't mind if Terry stayed, because he was her boyfriend and she always liked having him around, but she wanted to double check with Lux before she agreed. It was only fair. Although she did think that this might be a good opportunity for the two of them to get to know each other better. Considering she loved Terry and adored Lux she wanted them to get along so she could hang out with them both at the same time.
"You finally escaped from your mum then?" she asked playfully, having heard part of the lecture he was getting about it being his last year, career path etcetera and was glad that her mamushka wasn't there to give her a similar lecture. Sans the last year part of course. His mum's lecture had only served to make her sad though as it reminded her that this would be the last year that she'd be able to see Terry basically any time she pleased. Although maybe not even as much as that since like she'd been busy with OWLs last year Terry would be busy studying for his NEWTs this year.
