"How do you like being a Ravenclaw, then?" There was mild curiosity where this one was concerned, especially since she was new to this environment. Made her infinitely more interesting than the people she saw year after year. There was more to learn here. More things she didn't yet know. Things that might be helpful considering she'd be seeing the girl around all the time.
Information was power.
For anything to grow on you, it needed time. And thinking about more time in this awful place was something Nicky did not want to entertain. She sat, then, at the water's edge, using her wand to dry her foot. Non-verbally, because in some ways, she was showing off a little.
Slipping her sandal back on, she shook her head. "I'm not one of you," she said, simply. "May be where that mangy hat put me, but it's not what I am." She slid her wand back in her pocket and rested her forearms on her knees, still gazing out over the water but looking at nothing in particular. "I know where I belong."
And it wasn't here. |
