She was proud of that fact; as proud as she had been when she had told Ana that very same thing on the train to school.
Where was Ana? Lux missed her older friend already even though they had talked to each other recently. As long as they didn't fall out of touch again this term, she would be happy; the fact that there were no OWLs to get in the way this time was a huge plus.
Placing the cookie back into the milk, she stopped in mid-dunk. Wait, why was Lily laughing at her question? Was it really as silly as she had thought? Oh well, surely she wasn't being laughed at. Lily was way too nice to ever do that. Finding peace of mind in that fact, Lux finished dunking and took another bite. Delicious. "Well, I never thought about it that way, but I suppose you have a good point. I don't think anyone would want bits of cookie and chocolate floating in their tea." Cookies were amazing generally, but they wouldn't be in that case! "So I guess I would eat them on the side too if I did that, or just stick to my milk and cookies." Maybe she could even do both!
Oh, so Lily had gone on the trip? "I've heard a fair bit about it from some of my friends and my boyfriend. It sounded like quite the adventure; I'm not sure if I would have been able to survive that." Even though people told her that she could be brave, Lux really felt that she was truly not a Lion. Oh well, she had her Lion and that was enough to make her happy. "You know, I don't think I have properly met Austin. I've talked to him on Twitter though." He seemed like a nice boy, though it never was the same when talking on Twitter as opposed to in person. Lily had to admit there was a sort of logic to the answer Lux had given her. Everyone was entitled to their opinions, even when it came to cookies, and she had to admit that the ones they currently were enjoying weren’t bad. They definitely qualified in her top five of cookies, at least. Most of the food that the house elves had made generally turned out pretty appetizing, so there was no reason to think otherwise. “That’s a good way of looking at things. Some people like food that we might think is completely weird, but if that’s what they like. We shouldn’t judge,” she replied, breaking off another piece of her cookie and popping it into her mouth. These were just normal cookies, though. There was nothing weird about them at all.
She’d been tempted to offer a penny for the Hufflepuff’s thoughts, as the girl had seemed a bit distracted for a moment or two. But then, maybe it wasn’t anything that she needed to know. Lux didn’t look upset or anything, so the thoughts couldn’t have been bad. Plus, there was the little moment of amusement that had broken the silence, and she had trouble ceasing her giggle at the sight of the younger redhead sitting there with her cookie frozen halfway into her milk.
It was an amusing sight, but then the dunk was completed and she finally managed to stop giggling by lifting her teacup to her lips. She didn’t want to choke on her tea, after all, and it gave her a second to listen as her friend had spoken again. “Unless it was like cookie flavored tea. Or chocolate tea,” she offered, setting her cup back down as she’d spoken. There was flavored coffee, so she didn’t see why there couldn’t be cookie flavored tea. Especially in the Wizarding world. “It’s easier to just stick with milk and cookies though,” she finally agreed. Cookies were fine just as an accompaniment to tea, and she could survive without dunking them right now.
She hadn’t expected Lux to have heard much about the trip to Peru, either. It wasn’t exactly surprising, however, and the comment wasn’t wrong. “It was definitely an adventure. I’m sure you would have survived it. Everybody sort of helped each other,” she replied. Except for during the time they were all fleeing the trolls, but she’d forgiven Huxley for pushing past her. Nobody had gotten squished by the rocks and trees, after all. Or bitten by any zombies, although she wondered what had become of the arm that Professor Flamsteed had detached from the one. They’d stopped talking about the trip and being brave, though, and she hadn’t been able to stop the smile from appearing on her face at the next topic. “You have?,” she asked. “Maybe I should try and get him to properly meet you. I’ve been trying to get him more comfortable to talking to people, anyway.” After that mess during the Valentine’s Day event last term, with West.
