She hadn't yet gotten tired of retelling the first time she travelled outside of Britain to everyone who asked about her holiday so far. "I hope you had a good summer, too, Professor?" Quote:

Cam could only smile and it didn't really take him to think about what to say. Hm... there was really no excitement in his summer. There was only... pain and misery. Well not THAT much but still, he felt horrible. Not horribly horrible--he just felt horrible. "Oh, my summer was fine professor. But ... a bit boring I suppose. How about your summer?" Yes, he was really curious on what professors do over the summer. Do they party like there was no tomorrow? Unfortunately he couldn't picture Shackleton to look all crazy and wearing the most ridiculous outfits. She wasn't that kind of person.
...or was she? Professor Shackleton clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "Oh, you lucky girl, Ms. Morgan! I do love America! One of my favorite countries to visit. You must have had such a wonderful time with your friends. I'd like to hear more about it, if you ever get a free moment to stop by my office."
After an encouraging smile directed at Mariel, Macadrian turned her attention to Cam, "I'm sorry to hear your summer was a bit boring, but that probably also means it was relaxing, which is always a good thing after a long school year, no? Though, I'm sure the term will prove much more stimulating than your summer."
Professor Shackleton flashed her charming smile before collectively answering their question, "I did some traveling myself this summer, mainly around Europe. Spent a good deal of time in Spain and France, a couple weeks in Italy. It was absolutely wonderful. Reminded me of my days as a cursebreaker, when all it seems I did was travel and get my hands dirty." Professor Shackleton chuckled as she thought back on what felt like a past life before continuing, "Although, I admittedly stayed much cleaner and out of harm's way during these travels, making it very much unlike my cursebreaking days in that way. I have tons of pictures if you're interested. Feel free to stop by my office any time and have a looksee." Did she just say 'looksee'? Merlin, all the sun from the summer must have damaged her brain...
