There were a lot of bigger kids around her, but at least there seemed to be two boys her age who were also in this large group. Bryn and a boy called Wendel, or Wen. But her sister was Wenn. That was going to be too confusing! One of the bigger kids, a redhead, mentioned chocolates and the younger Penrose desperately wanted to ask about some, but she didn't know her well enough. The other boy, Meallan, introduced everyone else, which was useful because she didn't know anyone. "Oi, it's lovely to meet all yew folk!" she exclaimed happily. Tee wasn't one to be shy and she usually liked to chatter with people. The two younger boys both seemed a little on the shyer side though. Both of them were still with their parents, but Tegen still waved at them.
Morwenna smiled a little when Mea spoke a little about his summer and them taking a trip to California. Wenn had only really ever traveled to London to travel up to Hogwarts. Their family couldn't afford to travel, but she didn't mind. As long as she could walk down to the ocean, she was happy. "I mostly just played wi' the goats an' swum in the sea, I did," Morwenna said about her summer. It was a simple life, but she quite enjoyed it. The silver haired girl smiled over at Rosa, then said, "G'day to see 'ee, Rosa. An' 'ello over there, Rey!" It was cool that they all had their siblings coming in at the same time. She tipped her head to the side a little, then added, "Me bruvver Arthur be a bit glum, seein' as we's a-goin' to graduate just afore he can join us. But I reckon Tee an' the lads can see to 'im like we’m seein' to 'em." Tegen huffed a sigh in response to that statement and shrugged.
Persephone was happy, but tired. She didn’t do mornings. The Reed’s only lived about an hour and half away from King’s Cross Station but that was early enough for her when the train left at 11:00. Archie was a morning person so he’d been up with the sun and ready to go about five minutes after. Which it had been most of the summer. And most of their lives for that matter. Lately, he’d been going out with the rising sun to get pictures around their property in the early sunlight. His new camera had been around a lot, but she didn’t mind. He needed a hobby. She had quidditch and well…he did too technically, though he had been on the reserve team for four years now. It wasn’t like he was necessarily bad at quidditch but he didn’t have the same…panache for it that she did. Though, he also didn’t seem to have the passion for it she did, so she supposed it all worked out.
As they pulled into the car park and came to a stop, Persephone let out a large yawning. “Well, at least if you’re yawning, it means that you’re awake,” her Dad’s voice came from the front seat.
“Yeah yeah,” was Persephone’s only reply. However, as they worked their way out of the car and gathered their luggage Persephone was seeming more chipper. After all, she was a prefect now. She wanted to look responsible. She straightened her clothes, though at the moment she was just wearing an oversized t-shirt and shorts. Though, he hand was wrapped tightly around the little prefect badge in her pocket.
The family walked through the station and on to Platform 9 ¾. She was met with the familiar hustle and noise of the crowds preparing to send away the train. They wandered their way through the crowds, Persephone’s eyes roving over the crowd. Archie stood next to her and she once again had the passing thought of how much taller he’d gotten then her. He must have grown four or five inches just this summer. She hadn’t grown since she was twelve. They were twins. This hardly seemed fair. She was totally absorbed in her own thoughts until she heard Archie call, “Oh hey Adi!”
Mentally, she jumped. Luckily, she managed to keep herself together physically. She desperately hoped her cheeks weren’t as red as they were warm and she turned to where her brother was looking. Sure enough, Adi was there in the crowd and it seemed Archie had drawn his attention. Suddenly, Persephone had no idea what to do with her hands, but she began to walk toward him so at least he wouldn’t have to go as far.

Ella had a lot of very conflicted feelings about this year. After summer had been a mess of emotions, she wasn't sure she had the strength to muddle through school. In Romania, she'd had to return to her childhood home, where years of abuses were covered up under thinly veiled threats. She'd learned that she had no real connection to the woman she'd always thought was her mother, but in fact Gwen Eynon was little more than a nanny with a deep secret. It was handled as though Ella was little more than a weapon to be used against Father. After all, if he didn't know she was a player, then it would be that much easier to upend the game.
As she packed her trunk, her dark eyes glossed over as she remembered those words, carefully etched into page for her alone to read. 'My dearest Llewella, how hard it is for me to confess to you, but I knew that you alone would need to know. You would have those questions of yourself, and while I may never be able to speak the words aloud, I need you to know the truth....' It had detailed everything. All the secrets that went into Ella's keeping, the many lies spoken to Markus himself. How many times had the woman gone out of her way to deny Ella even the barest hints of affection? It really hurt, cutting especially deep on the nights that Ella had cried brokenly for her mom.
Everything was upside down and Ella wasn't sure where her feet were. Serghei and Radovan were busy dealing with family matters, helping Ivona and all the others figure out their orders. Even at the funeral, Radovan was wearing his usual stone-faced expression. Serghei was uncomfortable being there, clearly, but Ella had more questions than answers. Even considering what Radovan had told her, she simply couldn't wrap her mind around everything. She'd known that Markus was her father, with his absolute hatred of her being something of second nature to her. He had been awful to everyone, but they had at least had a mother to turn to. At the funeral, she simply stood back, watching everything in a muted sort of slow-motion.
And then they got home, having to explain everything to their parents. It did, thankfully, end in Linsey getting engaged to Serghei, and both were quite happy about that. Ella, however, felt a little lost in the tide. She hadn't wanted to share with Alice, given her friend's excitement over her newfound freedom, nor with Sebastian because he seemed perpetually busy. She did have a few other trustworthy friends, but she didn't want to burden them with her feelings. She'd managed to keep her life from four to eleven tamped down, so why not this as well?
Once all her school things were packed up, Ella bid her family a longer goodbye than normal. Part of her wanted to try and stay, to delay the requirements for being social, but she also knew she had a lot to do at school. She had clubs, classes, and trying to support her friends. And perhaps it would serve as a distraction? Radovan had paid for her to take the Animagus class, one she knew Alice was taking as well, using some of the money entitled to Ella for when she were an adult. Even with that, the youngest of the family had to wonder if it weren't for guilt. In her trunk was an unopened letter from Ivona. Ella simply hadn't had the heart to read it. Maybe in a few days.
Walking onto the platform, tired brown eyes looked around, wondering if she would manage to catch one of her friends before they split off to do their prefect rotations. Most likely not, especially since she had yet to grow enough to see over anyone in the crowd. Instead she focused on walking her trunk over to the dropoff to join the others. Maybe she should just get on the train early? Tuck into her little corner to hide from everyone. It wasn't like she would need a whole compartment to herself, after all. She was hoping to read her book, though she'd only managed to read the first two chapters following her trip. Her brain simply didn't want to let go of its thoughts long enough to focus on fantasy. Maybe soon enough she'd feel back to normal.... or maybe this was her new normal?
Aurora listened to the girl on her floor and tried her best to keep her face even, but mentally, it was puckered. She did not understand a word this girl was saying. Luckily another student came to join them. Another in her grade and she seemed to know them. Aurora suddenly felt sort of guilty for knowing so few people’s names. Nonetheless, she still helped floor girl, who the other had addressed as Hattie, up with the help of…Jazz if she had heard correctly.
Aurora settled herself, with a hand on her hip and one leg popped. “Nice to see you too Jazz,” she said in a happy tone as she handed Hattie back her glasses. She then turned her attention as the girl said more words Aurora had to decipher. She did manage to pick up something about getting their trunks over to the train. She gave a nod and headed in the direction of the train with the other two second years.
“Have a good summer?” She asked in a conversational tone. She might as well try to get to know them better since she’d already gotten this far. She didn’t actively admit it, but she could use friends. After all, everyone needed backup.

“Fair enough,” Xeno replied when Pad spoke about stress, or rather, not stress. She was glad of that. It seemed her new brother had figured out how to deal with emotions better than she had.“Yeah, there are a lot of us,” she added. She loved her whole family, but she had long ago made the decision that were she ever to have children of her own, she’d cap it at two.
When the conversation moved to quidditch, she gave the smallest of laughs. “Definitely. Knapps and quidditch tend to go hand in hand it would seem. Zack was giving me a hard time the other day because I don’t want to play professionally.” The noise she made after the statement was somewhere between a laugh and a scoff. She enjoyed quidditch but it wasn’t like “her thing”. She’d actually decided last summer to go in the direction of being a healer or mediwizard.
Xeno felt her heart swell just a little when Pad said he wanted her to meet his best friends. Xeno always felt like there was something special about making introductions like that. It was like…sharing something you really liked. Meant there was affection on both sides. “I’d love to meet them. Most people are probably here already so I imagine we’ll be able to find them.”

While waiting on the train could be fun (probably, to someone), Adi was rather bored. He had said hello to various classmates as they all bustled about. He moved slow, so he didn't bother following people around. He'd just wait until the train was ready and make his way then. Luna was sitting next to his walking frame, her tail wagging excitedly as her tongue lolled out. It was a bit of a sensory mess for her, most likely. He ruffled the top of her head, earning an eager bark. "I know, it's all too exciting, Luna. I'm excited too." He was also incredibly glad he'd be able to bring her along, since he quite missed her at school previously. Unfortunately, his parents had always been worried that he might not be able to handle her, given his own difficulties. It had taken a lot of convincing (and a very well made powerpoint, if he said so himself) to get them both to agree.
As he was rooting through his bag for a treat for her, Adi heard his name called out. He looked over, then waved excitedly to two of his friends. "Hey Archie! Hey Persephone!" Oh, why did he feel his cheeks warming up a bit at her name? That was new... right? "You guys excited for school this year? I get to bring Luna with me, so it'll be extra fun." He gestured at his dog, who looked very excited for potential new friends. "It's going to be a wild new year. Especially with exams up this term. I've also got to keep extra track of quidditch, since Roxanne opted to pass it over to me next year." He had hoped for prefect as well, but figured it was fair enough, since he couldn't exactly chase down mischievous students.
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions I keep my visions to myself It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams And have you any dreams you'd like to sell? Dreams of loneliness

*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚Anaís had enjoyed the hug a lot more than she'd anticipated, not realizing how much she had really missed them. The people who worked and volunteered at the orphanage were nice, even the matron and her husband were more than ok, she just didn't feel comfortable asking for something like that. She was also very thankful that Clover hadn't noticed her tears, or if she had she was very nice to not talk about it and instead asked if she had a preferred place to sit.
On last year's ride, she'd just sat in the first empty car she'd found and basically daydreamed through the whole thing not really taking in any sites. Having Clover sitting with her would be a new experience that she was actually excited for; she had a few books she'd planned to try to read and some snacks a volunteer had made. He was always bringing in the best jams and cookies so she'd made sure take some for her ride so she could save her allotted funds.
As her new friend described the best of both, Anaís found herself biting her lip as she made her decision. "I'm not really that interested in city so...I guess the right side? If that's good with you too?" she made sure to ask since she didn't want to take up all the decision making. Friendship was 50/50, even she knew that!

xx✮Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I?Platform 9¾ xxx✮Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ?Aina, Uncle Seamus, Aunt Erin xxxx✮Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ?Back to school! xxxxx✮Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ?I can't wait to see everyone!
Alice's summers normally were terrible with her having to hide in her room... but not last summer. She was officially free from her terrible living situation and legally an adult in the UK, which was weird to her. Her Aunt and Uncle had taken her in after her parents kicked her out when she came out to them as transgender. The last wall holding up her old identity had come down. Uncle Seamus had presented her parents with the documentation to give her legal control of herself, since she was sixteen now. She could legally be an adult and Uncle Seamus had made sure of it. He hadn't revealed the details in how he'd gotten her parents to sign the forms, but he presented them to her as a gift. And so she'd spent the summer working with him in his herbology practice, getting to spend time with her boyfriend, and being able to see her friends whenever she wanted! It had been such a great summer. When Aina returned from Norway with her moms, she'd also freaked out because she could get to see her favorite cousin whenever (Sorry Genie).
There hadn't had to be any trickery to get her away from her parents, no rushed early morning departure, or any of the old tricks to make sure Alice made it back to school. She'd woken up at a normal time, enjoyed a cozy breakfast with her family, and set off to the platform with her family. Alice was excited for this school year because she was also enrolling in the Animagus special study class so that she could complete that transformation. Once she completed this class, Seb never had to worry again about accidentally changing her into a werewolf or the half-wolf variant. When they arrived on the platform, the family signed their goodbyes, since Aina was keeping her implants turned off until the train would leave. After receiving hugs from Uncle Seamus and Aunt Erin, they departed, leaving Alice and Aina alone. The blonde looked around for her boyfriend, wondering if Seb and Momma Kinzlie had arrived yet. She didn't spot him, but she did spot Ella. The girls had been exchanging letters about their summer, but they hadn't had a chance to see each other yet. "Let's go say hi to Ella," Alice signed to Aina. The brunette nodded and followed after her cousin. As soon as Alice got close enough, she called out to Ella, then wrapped her in a big hug.
I like shinin', you be lyin' I be grindin', you waste time Know you wanna roll with me 'Cause you know I put it down When I show up, I'm the one and only
(づ￣ ³￣)づ Rosa just snorted at Mea's quip of astonishment while her mum just rolled her eyes. "The English Channel would've been the easier choice than apparating with all this stuff." Puck signed, speaking in a light huff while it was her daughter's turn to roll her eyes. Like she wasn't the reason why most of their luggage was oversized in the first place! However before she could sass back at her about it, Mea had decided that the only way to fight unfairness was with a ginormous group hug with Su eagerly joining from behind with Lewis and Bryn-to her utter delight-coming onto her other side with a light hug.
"Hush Mea, I got a Bryn hug!" Rosa didn't even try to sign it ignoring her friend's laugh of discomfort, do you know how hard she has to work to get a certified Bryn Hug!? It's like the little devil knows and actively keeps away. And from the slight smirk-a SMIRK-that he sent her, he knows that she knows what he's doing!! The absolute snake! "The second you're sorted into Hufflepuff, there'll be nowhere to hide, remember that." she whisper yelled at her youngest cousin who only shook his head and went back to examining his new blanket. The nerve!
Rosa was brought out of her dramatics by Mea introducing basically all of the younger generation and explaining their summer trip to California. It was always interesting to see people's reactions to hearing about their trips to the States; some generally didn't care while a few others asking about the weather and food which Rosa could easily talk about (like walking through a desert and pretty damn delicious depending on where they went). Morwenna seemed to fall in the "meh" category which she could appreciate because honestly, she'd love to play with goats be an ocean if that were always available.
When she also mentioned a younger brother who'd be starting right after she leaves, Rosa couldn't stop her snort. "We're in that same predicament right now. Lewis and Su have flown the coop leaving us in charge of the littles." Out the corner of her eye, she could see Bryn frown at being called a little and couldn't help but throw a wink his way.

With a warm smile, Kasamir bowed his head, and said to Hes’ grandfather, “Eucharist, kyrie. Meleto ellinika mono gia ligo kairo; elpiza what oi pro pronunciations mou itan sostes.” He tried to give little Niko a smile and chuckled softly when the little guy turned away. “Blepo what kapoios agapa tin megalyteri adelfi the, kai den einai iii monos.” As Grandma took custody of Niko from Hes, Kas slid his arm around his girlfriend, and he said to the older lady in a genuinely sincere tone, “Echo akousei polla gia essays kai oi dyo, mono pou metaniono pou den eicha perissoteris eucaeria na miliso. Isos kata tis diakopes na mporousame na canonisum na synantithoume perissotero?” Kas wasn’t quite sure what form such a meeting could take, although if called upon, he would put together a veritable feast for Hes’ grandparents.
Natalya was looking at Hesperia and her grandparents, and her brown eyes grew wide when she saw Hes smile and took in the sight of her fangs. “Oro,” she breathed, as she wasn’t sure how else to react, especially as she realized the fangs were real and not some bit of costuming. When she was acknowledged, the small girl stood up a bit straighter, as Kas said, “Da, this is my cousin, Natalya Stepanovich Patrovna.” The young Russian girl gave Hes a smile, and she said, “’Talya’ also works,” before adding in an almost conspiratorial tone, “So how did you break your arm? Were you doing something cool, like you wiped out while skiing, or fell from the back of your horse while show-jumping in a competition?”
Translations from the Greek:
‘Thank you, sir. I've only been studying Greek for a little while; I was hoping my pronunciations were correct.’
‘I see somebody loves his older sister, and he's not the only one.’
‘I've heard much about you both, my only regret is not having more of a chance to talk. Perhaps over the holidays, we could arrange to meet further?’

I, I'm a one-way motorway; I'm a road that drives away, then follows you back home I, I'm a streetlight shining; I'm a wild light, blinding bright, burnin' off and on

I, I'm a new day rising; I'm a brand-new sky to hang the stars upon tonight I, I'm a little divided; Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind?
It's times like these you learn to live again; It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again; It's times like these time and time again
I guess to you now, I'm just a face in the crowd Oh God, kinda please, would you kill me now? Late at night in my room, lie awake, think of you And all your little doomst
🍎🧀🍊🍍Bryn was unruffling himself from the hug and still enjoying the look and feel of the blanket from Su as Wen was telling him that it was as cozy as it looked, even stating he thought the older teen used magic to make it. He really wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, but it didn't stop the huff of amusement as Su clutched at their chest as if wounded. 'I put my blood, sweat, and entire two and a half seasons of Doctor Who into these blankets, only to be accused of just using magic. Audacity!" The young boy just huffed again, thinking their older cousin had been spending too much time with Rosa.
As Rey approached asking for snacks, Bryn perked up hearing his sister had chocolate hoping it was the brownie brittle she could make. He didn't know how she made it but it was always amazing and he was always sad when there was none left. After Wen was done showing off his bag, he brought his out to show his own stash. "Peanut butter and jelly crackers, fruit leather, and cranberries with granola. But Wen can't have the granola 'cause of his teeth." Bryn absentmindedly bared his own naked teeth in contrast to his friend's braces covered ones.
He was happy to hear that there was also lunches packed for them since he didn't think he'd be very happy with just snacks during six (SIX?!) hour trip. He also noticed that Wen was cuddled close to his dad and decided to give him a little space. "Can I have some chocolate if I don't eat any fruit snacks?" Bryn couldn't help looking up hopefully at both Rey and his mothers as he asked the question. They were usually all about "moderation" and "too much sugar at one time" so he was trying to head off any comments before they got onto the train. "I suppose...as long as your mindful and Rey is ok with sharing." Laili replied, giving both her children a grin.
Satisfied with the answer, Bryn decided to follow Wen who looked a bit down all of a sudden as he went over to Aunt Puck who immediately wrapped her son into a tight hug. "I know this is really different and maybe a bit scary for you. And for Bryn. But if you think I would be letting you go if I thought you weren't ready, or that you wouldn't be taken care of, you're more than wrong. You're your dad every time he thinks it won't start raining because 'the news said it wouldn't.'" She sighed heavily shaking her head at her poor husband's clinging faith to humanity which Bryn (while barely understanding what she meant) could at least understand the sentiment.

🍀☯🌷☮The summer had seemed to go by in the flap of a hummingbird's wing to Lyric who was now making to trip back to school for once, by himself. Well, by himself with Eula-who totally counted!-but without Afon to accompany them as well. After graduation, his brother had decided to join the ministry as a Hit Wizard and since then had been training almost endlessly. He was still too low on the totem pole to have taken the morning to see him off, but he'd made sure to say his goodbyes the previous evening as well as sneaking some coins into his bag when he thought Lyric wasn't looking. Sap.
His own summer had also been busy but enjoyable; he expanded the garden while working on a few ideas for Herbology club, helped at the club either behind the scenes or behind the bar (the latter which his guardian had not approved of but allowed), saw some friends occasionally, and spent his usual stint at the cinema. Lyric had never been allowed to watch non-approved movies (for which there were very litter) when he was younger so after moving in with Eula, he'd wanted to catch up on all he'd missed. The teen made it a point to watch as many movies as he could before he had to go back to school, whether they be older classis or just out of theater releases. It certainly made some days go by a bit quicker, now that he was thinking about it.
Lyric said his usual goodbyes to Eula, who had already made sure everything he needed was packed back at their home, and took their hug and forehead kiss with little fanfare (if his cheeks were flushed it was from how unseasonably warm it was, that's all) before they apparated away. He then checked on his newest companion from last year who was still sleeping in her carrier and looking adorable doing so with her sunflower collar. He wasn't particularly happy to see that he'd be vanishing a poor cat during his OWL exams, but the examiner hadn't looked surprised that he'd summoned them back nor took her with him. Plus it hadn't affected his grades any once the teen got his results so he was pretty happy overall.
As he was making his way towards the train, Lyric spotted Alice and Ella together along with a younger girl that he thinks might be Alice's cousin. He had actually gotten to hang with the girl a bit during the summer and gotten to see firsthand how much happier she was away from those buttmunchers that were her parents. Ella however had almost fallen off the face of the Earth for a bit. She'd responded to his letters but the last ones felt...off. He couldn't really explain it. Hopefully something bad hadn't happened. "Hello ladies, hope I'm not interrupting anything." Lyric gave all three girls a grin and wave as he joined their little group.
Every hour spent in isolation makes it easier to face annihilation (I'ma do it wit' pizzazz) Either you gon' shake or be shaken And I just ain't the type to keep waitin'

Ella's mind continued to wander as she thought over every single moment this summer. She had thought the moment when Linsey left her home, behind, screaming into the emptiness of the house was bad. The moment her sister brought home Serghei, half dead and declining fast was bad... the talk with her parents imploring them not to call for help because Radovan needed Serghei to feign dead to try and spare the Grey family. And then Radovan pulled her to a corner, leaving Linsey to rest while Serghei recovered. He told her she would have to go back, if only for a while, to try and help.
It had been an impossible weight, to break in and try to become her old self. She'd only narrowly escaped that life. But then she delivered what turned out to be a horcrux... and things went haywire. The nightmares were vivid, the thoughts in a constant swirl. She didn't hear her name called, and was only broken from her spiral by Alice pulling her into a hug. Ella quickly wiped her eyes, hoping the blonde didn't notice. "H-hey, Alice. And hi, Aina." The last part was signed, slowly, and with shaky hands, but signed nonetheless. "Have a nice summer?" She added, hoping to keep the discussion off herself.
Almost as soon as they joined in, another familiar voice added in as well. "Hello, Lyric. Nice to see you as well. A-and no, you're not interrupting anything." She turned away a bit, rubbing her eyes once more. It was one thing to hide her expression from one friend, but now there were three?! That was so much harder! She figured her best plan would be to bottle it all up and push it way, way down deep, just like she'd done with everything else from her past life. Maybe she could talk about Linsey's engagement? Or.... well, that was really the biggest thing of note for her summer....... besides murder and jail and horcruxes and being a traitor(?) and her new/old mother....

Clover nodded when Anaís said she wasn't a big fan of the city, then suggested that they get a cabin on the right side. "Oh, I completely agree. There are too many hu... people in the city and I like the countryside a lot more. The right side sounds perfect," she said with a smile. She was glad she caught herself before she said "humans", since Anaís was a human and she was supposed to be one too... She was still a little nervous that Anaís would learn she wasn't fully human and wouldn't want to be her friend. Logically she knew that since there was a nymph teacher at school that she shouldn't worry, but the fear of humans that the Llangollen Grove had instilled in her was still strong. Since Anaís had decided on which side they'd take, Clover decided to pick them a cabin, holding open the door for her. "Last year I didn't know the names of any of the places we passed, but I'm trying to learn them now. I got a map of the train route to try and learn their names. I think it's weird to have so many names, but I want to learn." In fact, her name had just been Clover until the lady showed up at the Grove last year with Azalea. She hadn't even known what a last name was, or what hers was until Mrs Nora told her it was Bauer. She thought it was nice, her father's last name.

The elder Argyris nodded his head and offered a smile to the polite young man courting his granddaughter when he said he hoped his pronunciations were good. Anyone who would go to the trouble of learning a language to communicate with them was good in his book. Niko fussed and wanted to go back to Hesperia, but Kalle kept a hold of him. When Kasamir said he wanted to meet with them further, Basil said, "Ísos tha boroúsate na érthete mazí mas gia éna gévma diakopón katá ti diárkeia ton cheimerinón diakopón. I Hesperia boreí na epexergasteí tis leptoméreies méso tis koukouvágias. Prépei na prochorísoume. Kaló taxídi paidiá." Kalle gave Hesperia another hug and the girl kissed her brother's forehead before they headed back over to the floos. Hesperia sighed, like a weight was lifted off her chest. Talya had asked how Hes had injured her arm and the girl smirked. "My arm's not actually broken," she said with a chuckle. "I tore some muscles and strained the ligaments playing rugby. With boys. This isn't even the worst thing though. I crushed two ribs and got a pretty bad concussion. Those got healed, but this injury has to heal naturally." Hesperia thought that was pretty cool at least. She played a very tough sport with boys who were much bigger than her. It was her own fault that she'd been hurt though, playing too hard and rough so that she could get better at keeping the quaffle. Hopefully her training and her injury had paid off.
{OoC: Translation 1: Perhaps you could join us for a holiday meal during winter break. Hesperia can work out the details via owl. We ought to get going. Have a safe trip kids.}
