HOME.

WINTER HOLIDAYS.

THREE OF THE BEST WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Who wants to visit over the hols? Ravenclaws, I'm looking at you. Mandy? Lisa? We'll go to Edinburgh. I can't wait to talk to my father about Maybe I'll find something out about Kev My sister is bouncing off the walls already.

[astronomybound]

She is also bouncing off of ME.

And if you think that I'm not going to visit you, then you're mad.

[footery]

That she is. She likes you.

I'm not mad. I know you're going to. Mum wants to see you again.

[astronomybound]

[ooc: writing is a bit jittery because of Sophie's excitement]

I like her too .

Your Mum wants to see me? What about Stephen?

[footery]

Can you believe we're half-way done with our last year?

He wants to see you too, of course. But yeah, my mum probably wants to give you a hug.

[astronomybound]

Thank bloody Merlin.

I'm glad he does. I'd be worried. That's very sweet of your mum.

D'you think they've poisoned anything on the trolley?

[footery]

This time next year, we won't be going home for winter hols.

I hope not. But I wouldn't put it past

[astronomybound]

This time next year you might be travelling and I might be discovering a meteor that is going to crash into the earth!

I don't know if I want to try now.

[footery]

I might be. I hope that you can stop it from crashing into the earth, too. I like this planet.

I'll try for you.

[astronomybound]

I will try. Perhaps a very powerful blasting charm will be able to stop it.

You're so good to me. If it is poisoned I'll say a very nice eulogy for you.

[footery]

Good luck with that. So, if I'm going to be traveling, where will I go?

I know. It's my job!

[astronomybound]

I'll need it. Milan, Tokyo, and where ever I am.

You're good at it.

[footery]

This sounds fun already. I've never been to Milan. And Tokyo basically is on the other side of the planet. It'd be a nice change from this.

[astronomybound]

If you go to Tokyo I'm going with you, regardless of any earth-shattering balls of rock hurtling at the planet.

[footery]

What, you don't want to come to Milan?

[astronomybound]

I've got to work sometime. Besides, you can go to Milan and then the next time you go I'll go with you and you can take me to your favourite spots.

[footery]

I won't be working! Actually, maybe I could be. For the Ministry, with wizards from other nations. But that sounds sort of boring.
