Anna's smile widened and she felt every shade of warm and fuzzy throughout her petite body. "I like to think so too," she nodded in agreement and offered Aurora another affectionate squish. "Both our names even start with A!" The moment reminded her a little of another similar conversation she had had last term by the lake with Freddy about fate and destiny and life providing you with the tools and opportunities you needed. Her caveat to the whole thing had been that things may be provided but it was also up to the person to recognize these things when they were presented. Notions of fate and destiny were kind of sort of heavily romanticized and the seventh year very much prescribed to the notion of free will and not having everything ordained for anyone. Ironically though also not ironically at all, this belief system had been encouraged through Professor Rook's lessons. "The universe definitely made sure our paths crossed and we were smart enough to notice."
Anna paused to consider the comparison and, seeing as she had never attempted topiary trimming and her own efforts for pruning and the like were not exactly artistic, she wasn't so sure that it was a good one-for-one comparison but in essence it sure seemed the same. "I think so? I mean, some people to get rather creative and extravagant trims to their pets and topiaries are the same concept," she nodded as she looked up at the unicorn topiary that had now ceased moving as it drank in the sunlight. "Pretty sure mandrakes are crying because they are pulled out from their pots and they stop once they are in a new pot with their dirt blanket...so I think that has to do with the sudden change in temperature for them and all plants have responses to that...just...mandrakes are vocal about it," she laughed.
If Anna knew any preservation spells she would have put one on the little wild flower crown so it would last longer. "Oh that would be fun! Do you think they would mind?" she asked, ears perking up a bit because she was a big fan of studying in groups even if her own tutor was a stickler for one-on-one. And, honestly, in Anna's case it was necessary considering how easily she was distracted. "I could use the additional revision since NEWTs are this year but I understand that not all tutors are particularly fond of multiple people at a time...and I'd hate to insert myself and make things awkward for you and them."
Adding a few more flowers to the crown that was still very much just a long string, Anna held it up to gauge if she had enough or if she needed more for it to fit Aurora's head comfortable...which meant that she saw the sudden fall of the blonde's features which meant that her own enthusiasm drained from her own. The events from the train had certainly not been forgotten but the Hufflepuffle was missing more than a few pieces to complete that particular puzzle. "...but...it has been the three of us talking about this for years...why exclude him?"
