Was that supposed to be a greeting? Meh. Livvy supposed so. She should be quite used to the girl's odd way of saying 'hello' by now. Yes. She really should. But Cela never ceased to surprise her.
"How does not having homework make you feel strange? You haven't been doing homework for the past three months. Why strange now?" she asked, curiously and a bit confused. Unless... she had been doing homework DURING the summer? Odd.... girl. Even LIVVY wasn't that crazy to do homework during vacation. That was just insane.
What did she do? Meh. Livvy just shrugged and smiled. "Not much really. I went back home in Taiwan and then came back for the World Cup."
"Well I've done a bit of light reading over the summer." Celandine answered, though her definition of light reading was fairly different even to most Ravenclaws. "Its just that we are back and..." She gestured at the hourglass. "I like it when that is full up of sapphires."
Her sapphires.
"Oooh did you have fun? I was supposed to go, had tickets for the topbox but I went shopping by myself in Diagon Alley and in my favourite Wizarding District in St. Petersburg and got in trouble so I wasn't allowed to go."
Sad face.
"But I got a bunch of Quidditch players to sign my unripped tickets, so at least I have a cool memento!"

"And maybe being back here at Hogwarts helps trigger that need." Not that she knew enough about Cela to really explain the revelation, but she knew herself, and the fact she really wanted to have any of her schoolbooks with her right now. Not to mention the fact that she'd read during a lot of her trip to France, when Grandmother had left her to her own devices. Turning to Cela, she shrugged in response to the question about her summer, even though it had neatly been led to by her thoughts. "I didn't do a lot over the summer. A lot of reading, and I went to France like I always do for a month. Learned about a lot of things, bought shoes . . ." She trailed off as she heard Livvy's response, then grinned. "You were at the World Cup? So was I, but I don't remember seeing you. But then, there were a lot of people there. So maybe I missed you." Which sounded like a really bad excuse, now that she'd said it. But then, having spent half her time at the Cup trying to pitch a tent had kind of taken her attention away from much else there.
"Gosh I hope I learn stuff this term." Cela's tone made it pretty clear that she wasn't sure she would. "New things I mean, not just practicing the stuff I already know."
Cela listened carefully as Adrienne answered her question about the summer.
"I travelled too." She informed the other girls. "I went to see Juni... Juniper Goodwin? Do you remember her?" Cela looked around, "...In Moscow. Stayed with my Grandmother in Sicily as usual and for my sixteenth birthday, Copernicus took me to see the Wizarding University in Cairo where he is attending this year. He's studying Wizarding Archaeology because Profe.... Mister Truebridge got him an internship under one of the Professors there last summer, so he got accepted in straight away."
Cela smiled and added. "Oh, and Adrienne, I got a bunch of new pairs of shoes too. I have some catelogues coming by owl this week so I can get some more stuff for anything that comes up during the term."
