As long as meh mum mentions him alls good."

Allison didn't understand the whole preoccupation talk. Looking at Adrienne with interest Allison asked, "Do you really feel grown-up?" She didn't mean it as an insult, or she was insinuating they acted childish, but Allison wanted to know. When you reach 17, did you feel marginally older? All her life, her mother and brother had tended to Allison. The biggest chore she had ever received was passing items to people. Can I have the scarf? Can you turn on the television? Pass me my wand. So would she have more responsibilities, would she actually have to tend to the dishes and robes?!

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd love it if Christopher wrote to me, or even my parents," Adrienne said in response to Allison's comment about wanting her own brother to write. Not that she'd hold her breath to hear from her father, unless she actually did owl him to ask if he could find anything out from the Ministry about Professor Truebridge. "I've just gotten to the point where I don't want to disappoint myself. I still write him occasionally, though." She couldn't say she understood a lot about anyone studying Muggles, but there had to be some people out there.

And then another question was posed to her by the first year, and it took her a second to come up with any sort of response. She really didn't know what it meant to feel grown up, but even so, with being sent to France very summer alone since she was eleven, she'd pretty much felt like responsibility was expected of her since then. Which basically was her problem. "Well, I guess so. I mean, I can't say seventeen feels much different thansixteen did for me, but that might just be something specific to me. You might feel differently when you get to be of age." She did really like being able to Apparate, though. Although that wasn't possible from school grounds.

And then Rachel responded to her earlier comment about preoccupation and everything, which, now that Adrienne thought about it, was probably the reason Allison had asked her question. But either way, the former prefect's response made her laugh. "Okay. I guess that's settled then," she said, still amused, before she lapsed into silence out of curiosity as to how Rachel was going to deal with the questions about Reid. She had to admit she was slightly curious what was going on there anyway, really.

Until Cela felt the need to comment about Riley, and as she heard what the blonde said, Adrienne broke into laughter again. "Riley? No, he's far from it, really. He's a Slytherin, not that that means anything. My theory is that he's just been . . . preoccupied lately, and that's why a lot of people here at Hogwarts haven't seen him." As she spoke, she glanced at Phoebus again, wondering if he'd feel the need to interject anything about his best friend and knowing he would understand exactly what she'd meant by her response to Cela. "Part of me's hoping Riley feels the need to make more of an appearance at school this term, though, since it's our last one and all." He probably wouldn't, though. It wasn't like it made much difference to her, since she'd see him at some point at home anyway. But the very fact that cela would ask that highly entertained her.

Her aunt always sent her the best gifts and they were usually Muggle stuff as well. She tore back the wrapping and glanced at the box inside. She flipped over the game box and quickly looked at the picture. She took the top off and found the instructions as she flipped through the instructions, she quickly announced.

"Does anyone wanner play...." she paused as she glanced at the top of the box...."Twister? It's a Muggle game but it sounds mega fun..."

At the sound of running footsteps, Adrienne shifted her gaze over from the group she was with,partly just because after so many things happening over the last few terms, she was a bit worried that something else had occurred. But it was only Satine, and as the younger Ravenclaw asked if anyone wanted to play, she shook her head slightly. Although she couldn't say she was surprised Cela had jumped up, even though her choice of how to boost herself out of her seat on the couch made her have to hide another smile. That couldn't have been comfortable for Phoebus, but she wasn't about to look and see how he had reacted. Something told her she'd find out later, since they still had to talk. "I think I'll sit this game out right now, but I'll watch. Maybe another round or something," she said. She could figure out how it was played, and then maybe she'd feel like she could manage playing without falling flat on her face or something. Besides, she didn't really want to take her boots off in the crowded common room.
