Nia was in a happy mood, still wondering about what had happened when she and Elan had gone for that walk after their little...misunderstanding. Sure, she still ached from the tickle fight, but she'd never laughed so much with someone before. And with them sharing the common room, they'd see each other plenty. Yes, that had been the start of a very good thing.

Looking up at the professor, a twinkle still in her eyes from her thoughts, Nia smiled. "Hi Professor Lupa," she said cheerily, as she picked up a bag of runes. She was completely obvious to the melancholy mood that had apparently swept across everyone else in the room.
