Then there was the flour. Man. It was kind of like a curse. Luckily, it didn't look like there was anything to make a mess of this time... At least, for now.
She looked a lot different without the flour or the paint. A nice different, though. Walking over to the seat, he smiled a little more. Quirking his head to the side at the question, "Well... Not many actually. A few of my friends have invited me for a few days, but I think I'll be at home mostly," at this he gave her an absolute look of horror. He did not want to go back home. Sure he missed his parents, but he did not miss the constant torment of his brothers. "I wish there was a way I could stay around everyone over the summer... I don't think any wizards live in my neighborhood," Being muggleborn suuuucked sometimes. "Do you have any plans?" Maybe she'd want to hang out. Or wait-- was she going on that dumb Greece trip that he wasn't allowed on?
Mackenzie instantly turned red when he mentioned the first time they had seen each other clean.
"hmm.. So it is" That's about all she could manage without giggling. The blonde was instantly glad that there was nothing here.. well they did have their wands but surely he wouldn't think to start a paintball war on the way home. They would be seeing their families after all.. Well he would. She wouldn't be. Quickly she pushed away the thought.
Staying home sounded awful to the now fifth year.
"Oh, I'm staying around London until Greece, I usually go to Paris but not anymore. You should hang out around Diagon Alley, that's where most everyone ends up." Mack smiled good maybe they could hang out before Greece.
"Where do you live?" She wasn't sure if he just lived in the country or maybe he was muggleborn? They had never gotten to family specifics and she was kind of grateful for that. Maybe he sensed that she didn't like to talk about family.
