Home! Home was lovely! School was such an adventure, but home! There really was no place like it. There was Rufus and Alvin and mum and dad. Having most of her favorite people under one roof really was therapeutic. Though she was doing well at school (at least socially), it was nice to take a break, to be babied by her parents and to share all of her adventures!

Not to mention it happened to be  Christmas!

Dinner with her family was always a spectacle, the sheer amount of them and having everybody around the table for Cook's superior meals (Hogwarts was good, but Cook was better) and it was chaotic and loud and everything it should be. It made her a little nostalgic, for all she enjoyed school itself. Once everything had calmed down, she'd skipped off to her room (she was the only one who did't ever have to share!) to unpack a few things from her trunk. Barnabas sat her her nightstand in his little bed chomping away on some seeds very content with life.

"Fussy!" She chirped happily, using his childhood nickname, as her brother knocked on the door, a wide grin spreading across her features. "I've missed youuu." She sang as she flung herself at him for a proper hug.
