 Deniz. <3 be curious, not judgmental
Sophie was quite early for the meeting, anxious to talk to Culloden all on her own after the gift he had left her the previous evening, but she was even more anxious that he had things to share with her. What kind of news would he have? Did someone die? Was HE dying? Did he have a thing with his 'Annie'? Was he distressed about the inevitability that was his aging and baldness?
Hehehehehe, no, no. She knew he'd find a way around both of those things. The guy was going to achieve immortality and down enough potions to keep his silver hair forever, probably.
Climbing up the ladder to the tree house with great speed - she could DO it this term and didn't even need anyone to pull her up! - Sophie leaned against the railing when she reached the top, just as she had when Culloden had met her there the past term. Unfortunately, though, that meeting had led to a tearful display in front of him, which she regretted, but hopefully he wouldn't think about that or anything and they could just be two people hanging out in a tree house with no lingering sad feelings about death and stuff from last term.
She decided to sit down while she waited, then, letting her feet dangle over the side of the tree house and holding onto the railing, looking out over the grounds while she awaited the professor's arrival. After a few minutes, she decided to take his letter from her pocket and re-read it to pass the time. Still made her smile. Would always make her smile.
