'Guess you did show in the end,' she muttered, mostly to herself, with one of her rare grins as she observed the younger girl. 'Haven't seen you for a while, Xylina.' She dropped into a seat, gesturing for her cousin to take the one opposite her (but when did Xylina ever do what she suggested?) And not only that, but right now, English was hard to string together.
Perfect match. 'How're the others?' she asked, sticking to the basics (and getting straight to the point - she did care about them, no matter how much she tried to pretend otherwise). Not only that, but this conversation, like most with either of the twins, would be short.
One hoped.
And there it was. Proof to her thoughts. Xy remained wisely silent as the same fourth year she'd tried to avoid managed to tug her into an empty compartment. But she was gentle, an improvement. She just prayed that more improvements (like losing the attitude) would follow.
'Hi,' she said bluntly, dropping into the corner and moving so her legs were swung up on the seats and her head resting against the window.
'How was your home? Better than mine?' Oh yes, bitterness laced her voice, a first for the overly hyper Ravenclaw.
'They're fine. Si's still constantly crying, but he's starting to learn, and us girls couldn't be better, really.' Unless you count what we heard. She stared at Mina, trying to see whether she could note any differences from the last time she'd seen the girl.
Not that she wanted to see any, even if there were.
