My step dad has told me about Ministry memos. Could be fun. And easier than sending messages by patronus."
Something she could not even begin to fathom doing yet.
WRITING! That reminded her...and it wasn't that she was ignoring his question - far from it - but she was caught up in the moment and did not want to forgot a very VERY important request she had of her best friend. "Mmhmm," she nodded as she retrieved her yearbook and began flipping towards the back. "I'm just not sure what sort of writing yet. I enjoy reading nonfiction, but not sure I am creative enough for that sort of thing." She needed to stretch her writing a bit to figure all that out. "I..." she said triumphantly as she thrust her yearbook at him in one hand and offered him her broken phoenix feather quill with the other. "...was wondering if you would do me the honor of signing my yearbook. Right here. Next to your picture."
Thornton grinned.
"That could be fun. Send letters between our common rooms." It was a far walk between Ravenclaw tower and the Hufflepuff common room. And conjuring a patronus was going to be a long, long way off.
"We should... go to the library as soon as we get to school and look it up." Because getting into his trunk to check his spellbooks on the train was just... too much.
He nodded as she spoke.
"If you ever want someone to read something..." He shrugged, wondering what she what she was.... oh.
"Sign it?" Thornton smiled, and took the quill from her.
"I.. I can do that." Biting his lip, Thornton signed his name with a bit of a flourish, just over the corner of his picture.
