She would miss popping by his office and being treated to a surprise treat sent to him by his wife though - some weekends the sixth year really found herself missing the taste of marzipan shortbread.

Professor Fergersnout taking the Hufflepuffle common room and leaving her own aesthetic came with its excitement but...Anna truly and sincerely missed the abundance of flora and, in particular, the secret garden. It had been her and Reuben's special place and now...without it...she couldn't help but feel a very unwanted disconnect between her and him. Sure, puzzle dates could be held anywhere but it had been a special tradition since they were first years!

Arriving in the common room after attempt fifteen to tame her curls (to which she had decided just to let them bouncy free in two floofy pigtails tied just below her ears), Anna spotted her younger peer and friend curls up on one of the armchairs and pivoted her spritely stride in the blonde's direction. "Oooooh, is that a sugar pencil? Like a sugar quill but in pencil form? I didn't know they made those!"
If it were up to Emma, she would tell Anna to not worry about taming the curls and the floofy pigtails suited her well. Pigtails were something that Emma normally associated with being a 5-year-old, but on Anna they were anything but childish.

Stopping her incessant chewing, she looked down at her eraser and frowned. She wasn't about to close her journal though, because while there was some personal notations in there that she didn't particular want gossiped about the castle, she held trust in Anna that should she catch a glimpse, the older girl wasn't the gossiping type. "No. It's just a regular pencil." She said perplexed. "Used in muggle studies, but I find them quite useful, since they're more forgiving than ordinary quills and ink." Muggle studies being an elective, Emma wasn't sure who took the subject, but she was enjoying it.
