Oh, no she didn't. People would have assumed she was going into the education route with the dedication she had in these binders of hers. Little quizzes, mazes, colourings, dot-to-dots. Big kid at heart, she really was.
"At all times isn't necessary, Charlotta. I don't want you to have to carry around some sort of ugly bag to carry it." She really was thinking of her friends fashion choices here. She knew her well enough to know that a bad outfit was her worst nightmare and she wasn't going to play any part in that. Nightmares were the worst, and this year had already been plenty. "You do have to carry a bow on you at all times though. Not always in your hair. That's my thing." The lack of one today was because she'd wanted to wear all of them and hadn't been able to decide and had had Olly rolling her eyes at her. Not fun. So she'd gone without.
"You mean the forever supply of Caterina cooking and nights in with Jane Eyre? Oh, of course. We'll blow a balloon up and draw a face on it and pretend it's you." Ever so inclusive.

Best friend theft? I see how it is." Caterina put her hands on her hips and tried to conjure a great authority figure, but then she grinned and ruined the illusion. "Are you planning on staying here the whole way? Have you seen Sharky?"
No? Her either.
"You will? That's amazing, thanks." It was a shame that the NEWTS had been postponed and Els had to do them during her summer - Charlie prayed that it didn't happen next year, too. But everyone knew that Elodie created the most brilliant notes, and that they were perfectly detailed and organised, and she was honestly so thankful that her friend had thought of her like that. Not that Charlie's notes weren't good, they were, but there was something about the older girls. That, and the fact that Charlie pretty much believed that you could never be
too prepared for any exam.
.................................................. ... Yeah. She hadn't though about that. She'd never actually seen a nice camera bag, and wouldn't feel okay lumping it in with all of her other stuff. "I could make it work," she mused, unconvincingly, thinking of the fashion death that would be caused if she was to use her fathers brown boxy camera thing. The thought almost made Charlie shudder. Maybe she'd just have to run back for a camera, or remember the scene and recreate it in a drawing? Elodie would like that, right? "Bow." There were nods. Of course she would. Something that was like having Elodie on her at all times.
Except, you know, not at all anything like the real thing. "I'll remember that."
Caterina cooking. Classics. Charlie pouted a little and groaned inwardly. "You're making me jealous already." And it was basically official now that she was going to be spending a lot of time there over the summer. As if on cue, Cat herself was in the compartment with them, and Charlie offered her a little wave and a small smile. "Hi." Come to make leaving for the summer even harder than it was with Elodie there.
Charlie wasn't actually complaining.
Giggling a little at 'best friend theft', she shook her head. Everyone knew that, whilst she was close to Elodie and close to Cat, no one was ever coming in between Elcat. No one. And Charlie was good with that. She shrugged a little at the notion of staying here the whole trip. "I don't know. S'our place, now." So they should make the most of it, whilst Elodie was here. Even if it
was kinda uncomfortable. Sharky got a shake of the head, too. Not in here.
