As for the other... "Finishing school is no screaming heck. Been there, done that, don't regret leaving. I've learned way more here than I ever did there."
More because it looked like a tasty idea than anything else, Kellen found himself copying Cela's potato-gravy display, "Lucky for sure. Just think of the reunion party. If tradition holds, it'll be a never-ending guest list."
"I totally had to learn lots of that sort of junk -etiquette and hosting and dancing and music- before I came to Hogwarts and during the summers anyway." Cela straightened in her seat, shifting so that she was sitting more ladylike. Then she made a face, crossing her eyes and poking out her tongue. "I'll totally miss Hogwarts because at home I have to go back to all of that." It wasn't hard, it was just sort of nice to not bother with things like that.
Really, Hogwarts had taught her how to just be herself no matter what.
Cela picked up a carrot and used her wand to make short work of whittling it into the shape of a pirate.
Which went on the potato island.
"The Alumni Ball was like that for me. I was just totally selfish and stuck with Copernicus most of the night." It wasn't something she could help exactly. Magnet. Steel.
"So what are you doing this summer, Kellen?"
