And Mariel thought she was observant, which was obviously not the case today. The third year was unfamiliar with this girl and gave her a smile and polite nod before turning back to Becca.

"My summer was great, thanks," she replied. "The first part was plain boring. That's the part that I got to spend at home, but I just got back from a holiday in America with some of my friends. And that was fun. We rode horses and played Quidditch all day. How was your summer?"

"Oh cool!" She sounded genuinely excited. "Horses, huh? I rode one once. It smelled really awful, though. But... I guess that was to be expected?" Becca laughed. "Quidditch all day... ah. That'd be nice. I wish I lived in some sort of wizarding community where I could do that. You're really lucky." She gave a small smile. "But, I can't really complain. I got to play soccer every day with all my girls. I love Hogwarts, but I think I look forward to going home more than most people, just because I know I've missed so much in the lives of my friends. So, y'know, getting to hang with them... my summer was wonderful."

Becca raised her eyebrows at Copernicus as he questioned her, but soon enough he figured it out. "Right. Gnarled. Gnarly is a VERY old-fashioned word. It's just ... weird. And I think it sounds odd. That's why I don't say it." She shrugged, then smiled in admiration when Copernicus casted the invisibility charm. Brilliant, he was.

She then watched as it seemed people kept trickling into their compartment. Annoyance was clearly shown on her face, but she kept her tone light. "Copernicus, what's your favorite thing to do? In general, I mean. What interests you... besides history?"
