She arrived sooner than they did, too, and when she peered back out over the lake, the boats were only maybe halfway across the water. So, instead of waiting around for them, Soph set out in search of a vacant compartment to reserve for her friend group. Totally nice of her.
After stowing away her trunk, Sophie moved down the corridor with purpose, peeking into every compartment as she went for the first available vacant one, only glancing briefly at each compartment's habitants - until she thought she spotted one Jasmine Guidry and did a double take. Ah. Yes. Good.
Sliding the door open, Soph wasn't bothered that the girl appeared rather glum - instead, she went on to say as if she didn't think anything was wrong, "Hey. Jasmine. Congrats on being Ravenclaw's top point earner. S'quite a first term for you, yeah?" Even though the older girl had only been there for one term, Soph had her sickles bet on this one as Ravenclaw's prefect replacement for Dora. Well-deserved, especially since Jasmine seemed much nicer and less sassy than Dora. And seemed to try harder all-around. Dora was still cooler, though. She had to be, since Mo liked her so much.
Jasmine jumped when she heard the compartment door open. Her mind had been far, far away for a moment. Turning toward the door, she smiled when she saw her housemate entering the compartment.
Hi there Sophie. Thanks. Yes, it was quite a first term in more ways than one. I can't say I'm sorry that it's over though. Come on in and have a seat."
Jasmine was glad to have some company and Sophie seemed like a nice girl, even though Jasmine didn't know her very well. That could be easily remedied on the train ride.
"Congratulations to you too. You were right behind me in the points race." Jasmine was going to have to work twice as hard next year because the younger Claws were going to be tough competition.
"Are you excited for summer? Have any big plans? I know I just can't wait to be warm again." Just getting away from the castle had helped Jamine's body temperature start to return to normal, at last.
