On being sent to Distant Skies...

[mini_potioneer]

You've confused me a little, miss mun. You want me to join so I can be friends with the nice James but you haven't written out any of the application since you reserved me. You're really excited that you've found somewhere to play me but you're still sad.

You don't have to explain it to me. Just don't say I'm too young!

Also, what's a daemon?

Pretty much. I help a lot of the first years out when they arrive because it's really easy to get lost. Once Dad realised this, he let me off classes for the first few weeks. He's the best.

[whatsupcroc]

He sounds like a pretty good dad. Does he ever take you on vacations, during break, or the summers?

[mini_potioneer]

Not really. We go into the village by the castle some weekends but we're usually just in the castle or in the house.

[whatsupcroc]

Only that far? I'd go crazy if I never got out to see things! There's just so much to do out in the world, so many things to try! You don't ever want to get out and try something new? Different? Maybe a little exciting?

[mini_potioneer]

I do do exciting things. All the time. I never said my life was boring. There's always something fun to do at school or at home. I don't think I want to go anywhere else. Not yet anyway.

[whatsupcroc]

At school? Your school has to be a lot more interesting than mine ever was.

[ Which probably wasn't terribly hard, in a lot of ways, but it does make her interested. ]

You've got time, right? You don't look all that old. Maybe when you're older you'll want to go out and see what else is out there. That's what people tend to say, isn't it?

[ She shrugs, and smiles. ]

If you're happy where you're at, then good for you, that's what I say.

[mini_potioneer]

I'll bet. [Grins]

Yeah. I'm only eleven. I'll finish school at eighteen and then I'll see the world.

Thanks. Oh, I never introduced myself. I'm sorry.

I'm Harry, Harry Potter.

[whatsupcroc]

Oh man, neither did I. Sorry about that! It's nice to -- [ for a moment she swears she's heard that name before, but naaawh ] -- meet you, Harry! I'm Collette.

[ She tosses him a little wave of her hand. ]

Think I'll be seeing you around?

[mini_potioneer]

Nice to meet you too Collette.

I hope so. She says she's almost done.

[whatsupcroc]

I'd offer to cheer, but I left my outfit back at home, so I'll stick to offering her good luck. You can do it! You know, stuff like that.

[ She winks. ]

[mini_potioneer]

It's appreciated! Thanks.

[whatsupcroc]

You're welcome! See you soon!

[mini_potioneer]

Hope so!
