Family, blood ties, were of the utmost importance to her.

Why she had been particularly salty that day.

Regardless of external factors, the sixteen year old was attempting to make lemonade out of lemons (although sometimes it felt more like lemonade out of oranges) and exploring what options Hogwarts had to offer. It was these wanderings that brought her here now and elicited the pleased twitch in the corner of her lips when her eyes fell upon Levi Kenning. Number two in the five-way tie for second place.

"Countdown to the next task or something of the more personal variety?" she asked while pointing one of her slender fingers towards the calendar in his hand.

Scratching another day off the calendar had progressed into underlining and drawing circles around the date in which he got to go home. And by the time the Gryffindor boy realized the balcony no longer belonged to him in its entirety, the number had been encircled so many times it was barely visible. An unfortunate discovery considering it'd been a gift from his grandfather; a terrible gift, make no mistake, but one could not expect much from a man pushing ninety-five.

He looked up sideways at the new arrival. Valerie Gray was immediate competition for the first spot--after Kyle Baker, of course--but Levi had perfectly polished manners he could put into practice. Especially considering this would be the first time he found himself alone with one of the Ilvermorny competitors. "Hello." See? Manners. He supplied a smile to match. "Personal variety." The next task could wait for a while, for all he cared. Levi set the calendar down on the floor next to him. "Counting down the days I've left until I get to go home, actually. It's good to see you, Valerie."
