But getting updates from far away wasn’t the same as BEING here. And as someone who liked her routines and her people (and who clearly abhorred change) she already had pre-anxiety about the fact she would one day be graduating.

The compliment from Aryan was unexpected, to the point where she gave a small laugh in surprise, but appreciated none the less. “That is not something I am use to hearing. Thank you.” She giggled again. People did grow up and change, so favorites changing too was sometimes bound to happen - but for her because the boat house held so many fun memories of playing pirates, or laying in a boat reading or just… existing there, she didn’t see that one growing old anytime soon. In fact, she was already certain that’s a spot she would miss a lot once she no longer had any access to it. “It is. Do you have a spot you like to go to the best already? Outside of the battlements, of course.” She winked, showing she was just jesting. Though she was sincere about her curiosity in where he DID like to go.

At Aryan’s question, she paused before opening her mouth to answer - trying to determine if it was good for her. She supposed truthfully, it didn’t really affect her directly. She didn’t have anything against Papa’s new partner - he was kind which had been the initial test that he’d passed with flying colors, and she wasn’t home enough to really get to know him get to know him at this stage. So it certainly wasn’t a BAD thing for her - it’s not like there was any fighting or anything between them. “It’s good for the people I love so.. Yes, I guess it is a good change for me. It’s just… different.” Her first year of Hogwarts had been nothing but excitement for her - but she could appreciate the fact that it wasn’t always that way for everyone. “Were you nervous about starting here at Hogwarts? Or just missing home now?”

There was always the option of returning to Hogwarts as a professor, if the opportunity arose. Who says professors couldn’t explore? Then again, the idea of Vera being a professor was a farfetched one. Not that it couldn’t be done, of course, but it was just that Ary couldn’t see this version of Vera being one. Maybe if she matured a bit, or perhaps toned her smart mouth down.

Ary smiled rather serenely {now that his breathing was back to normal and that stitch was going, he felt relaxed} as Vera laughed. “Well, you think differently, I guess. Different is good.” In his opinion, anyway. Why follow the crowd when you can stand out? And better yet? Attract all other weirdos who were just like you. It was soon his turn to laugh as Vera joked about the Battlements being one of his favourite places. “The Barns & Pastures. The Greenhouses are growing on me. No pun intended.” Ary’s like for the Greenhouses stemmed {again, no pun intended} from his constant visits there with Drake.

The Slytherin could understand Vera’s woes more than he was letting on. Why Bry had moved to Hogsmeade with the rest of the Patons’, it had taken a long time for him to get used to her not being around as frequently. The change had been good for Aunty Hady though. “Seems like something is always changing, isn’t it? Sometimes you just need to talk about it to feel better, even if you can’t get used to all the changes right now.” Which, he supposed, was sort of what he was doing now about his own struggles. “Just missing home. Never been away from it for this long.” Ary shrugged. “I reckon we just deal with changes one day at a time. I try not to think about how miserable I’ll be tomorrow. Focus on today’s misery, ya know?”
