Uh-huh. She seemed worried about something. Maybe she didn't realized people were going to be in here (as everyone else did) and she thought the ones inside will take it badly? Well, think again!
This girl turned out to be the perfect distraction, that is until Dominic speaks, in which case Kaika will turn around towards his voice. Just a reflex, nothing she could stop herself from doing. How she hated that. But, 'tis was allllll good for the time being. And this girl was certainly easier to get along than Willow. She didn't mind Ravenclaws, but why did Dominic have to chose the Captain?
The sixteen year-old listened as the Prefect explained,
"Really? I've never read it, my cousins have..." she started to say,
"...but it does sound like a great book" yes, the Huffie liked books, perhaps it was a family thing, you know, Gilderoy and all...but she hadn't read many muggle books,
"I've read 'Lord of the Rings', though, and while it's a big longer than I expected, I liked it - reading about wars, power and the difference between races is a bit refreshing" and that may grant her a trip to St. Mungo's, and to the same ward people in her family grew accustomed to.
Apparently, people who read books could be easily carried away, no? And, oh! How could she forget to introduce herself?! That's so...unlike her.
"Rachel" she repeated, with a smile, and shook the girl's hand,
"I'm Kaika, Kaika Lockhart" she said, there was no point in adding 'Hufflepuff Captain', her badge indicated that pretty well,
"Nice to meet you" though it would've been nicer to do so in another situation.

However, she was one going to say anything about it. Not yet, anyway, which is why when Kaika addressed to her again, Willow forced her lips to work on a perfectly amicable smile. "I'm glad I did, too." And why wouldn't she? She'd spend two entire weeks in Italy with one of her best friends, gotten eight OWLs which had pleased her father, spent some time in Diagon Alley with her friends, and even got a faint tan.
Indeed, her summer had been almost perfect. Except that there had not been any kind of letters or communication or anything. Her eyes flickered to Dominic Denton for a split of second before she could stop herself, and then commanded them to turn back to the Hufflepuff Captain. "Dragons again?" Did this girl spend all her summers hanging out with such dangerous creatures? How . . . weird. "That's nice," offered the girl, the same friendly smile on her lips. Really, it was not nice at all, but whatever.
This was probably the first time Kaika had seen a smile on Willow Kovac's face. Or not a wide smile, but a sort-of-small one. It was definitely an odd sight, but then again, she's never spend a great amount of time with her. Perhaps they've even seen each other counted times in the five years they've been in Hogwarts, and that awful Belle's.
Yes, well that's obvious, of course someone will be glad that their own summer will turn out great. Still, Kaika nodded as to accept the answer. And then, 'Dragons again?', how was the Ravenclaw Captain supposed to know that last term wasn't her first time seeing a dragon up close,
"Oh, yes, whenever I go to Romania, my uncle takes me to see them...you should've seen this beautiful Norwegian Ridgeback baby dragon...it was...well, quite a nice sight" she started to say,
"Not as much as an Antipodean Opaleye, of course.." her eyes got locked in Dominic,
"...but nice enough" yes, that was all she was mentioning, because she didn't notice when she started to ramble about something about dragons, and when did it landed on Dominic.
Something must have happened during the summer, or not happened, whichever suited this pair, given the constant looks Willow was giving Dominic when asked about her summer.
