She was still remaining comfortably numb to everything.

Dora didn't get that. The whole scary bit. She'd been hearing it ever since she'd arrived to Hogwarts, that leaving would be terrifying and that she'd miss this place and she should enjoy it while she could. But they'd all been dead wrong. She wasn't afraid, she'd been on her own all her life. Always leaving when her time was up without so much as a glance back over her shoulder in hopes of something.... better. More. She was ready to leave Hogwarts.

"No...." She picked at her the hem of her cloak. "I miss people, not places." And since most everyone she was close with was graduating with her or already graduated, she would not be missing this place. "What about you? Gonna miss it?"

With the water properly back to its original state, Elodie skimmed her fingers over the top of it. "I know that now.." It was a little too late though, and finding a new distraction had proved harder than anything. Everything she'd ever used before had a connection to the problem. Knitting wasn't fun now. Reading had barely any impact like it had previously. The only thing that took her mind off of things was throwing apples at a wall and pretending they had enough feelings to feel themselves smash against it. To smash, break and be in her position.

Els raised an eyebrow at Dora's response, but nodded. She understood completely. "I thought I was the only one who wouldn't..." She wouldn't miss the place that had floor she knew her mother had once walked upon, classrooms she knew her father had once sat in and took notes. Although there was no physical evidence of them here, she knew they'd once been in her shoes yet...couldn't talk to them about it. It was like that with everything. She couldn't get boy advice from her mum, couldn't introduce one to her dad. She had her brother and sister, and even though she'd assumed they were practically her parents... they weren't.

They weren't even close.

"I'd go right now if I could."
