So sincere, she was, and so KIND to not mind sacrificing some of her time to come be with them. Soph sighed dreamily, a goofy sort of smile on her face, and she nodded along in comprehension with every single word the woman spoke. The whole FAMILY WAS GOING TO BE THERE, INCLUDING HER BEST FRIEND. Merlin's beard, what Sophie Brown wouldn't have given to be able to be at THAT celebration.

"That sounds like the best party of all time." Maybe some year SHE would get lucky enough to be invited as Max's cousin and Cat and Mo's favorite? Eh? Ehhh? She was still smiling, a bit dazed as she went on, "I'm glad your life is what it is, ma'am. You deserve all these good things and a good life and a good family and a good best friend and safety for everyone after everything you've been through."

There was another pause, but then Soph leaned in a little, lowering her voice so Botros wouldn't severely judge Sophie Brown for making a fool of herself, "I dunno if Mo's told you, but you're kind of my favorite heroine of all time. Well, I like Hermione Granger, too, 'cause she and I share identical wand types and the Ollivander's Wandmaker said that means I'm gonna be a great witch like her, but I think you're a beautiful example of bravery and kindness and compassion and brilliance and I think anyone would be lucky to even be an ounce as influential and inspirational and so purely good as you. So." She straightened up and smiled, offering a short shrug. "Thanks for settin' the bar high, 'n for being the coolest Ravenclaw role model of all time, 'n thanks for your children, too. I like 'em a lot."

She was probably gonna go now.

It never did any good to ask if Sophie Brown was for real, because Mo had insisted for years and years that, in spite of appearances, the Ravenclaw was 100% real. And sincere. And just... goofy and maybe a little intimidating. And Cassandra wasn't intimidated by much.

"It'll be a really lovely time. The babies are far too young to remember their first Christmas, but they'll get passed around and I have the most adorable little hats for them to wear." Vivi would hate them, and that was part of why they were funny. Cassandra's polite smile slipped at Sophie's mention of 'everything you've been through', but it was back in place a moment later.

"Thank you for your kind words, my dear. I don't suppose I believe I should be anyone's heroine, but at least you admire me for reasons I can be proud of. And you seem to be well on your way to be the kind of witch you can be proud of as well. Head Girl, a promising future. Good luck to you, and feel free to owl me if you need any advice."
