"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."

One would think her face would hurt from smiling this much, but Sophie was actually feeling just fine and dandy, thank you, as her smile actually grew the more the woman talked, and there was even a giggle at the mention of little hats for the babies. "That's good. They're lucky kids to have grandparents like you 'n m'Aunt Erin. Spoiled rotten, they are, I reckon." As if Max and Vivi probably didn't already spoil them rotten themselves.

Those were probably the luckiest babies in the whole world.

At Mo's mum's nice little spiel, Soph broke eye contact, her cheeks flushing ever-so slightly, and she shook her head fervently in protest. "That's a dangerous offer," because Sophie needed a LOT of advice lately, "but thank you all the same, ma'am. Would y'mind giving Mo 'n Cat an extra hug from me when y'see 'em? I miss 'em an awful lot." Not that she didn't miss Vivi or Max, but well... she just missed Mo and Cat extra, okay?

There was some bashful sort of shuffling of the Head Girl's feet happening as she realized she'd very likely overstayed her welcome at this end of the table, and then she forced a smile, "Sorry for interrupting, I'll let you get back to the feast. Thanks for the chat." She was just gonna... go.
