Fifth floor common room, Tuesday evening

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia flopped herself over diagonally on the couch, one foot resting on the back, the other draped over its arm. She switched on the television to a rerun of AKA (the obligatory musical episode, it seemed, and wasn't Perth Tristow's dad just the creepiest thing ever, singing and dancing and wearing rainbow colors like--oh, wait, no, that's not AKA. That's the musical the actor was in in the seventies. . . ).

"My folks live in London but I've been at school in Scotland for the past few years. How'd you end up here?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Got arrested, offered this instead of jail. You?"

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Fleeing a war brought on by dark wizards."

[nadiathesaint]

". . . Oh. Do you prefer fighting jello dragons?"

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Jello? Like gelatin?" she giggled. "I've seen the real thing I think I can handle sweets even agressive ones."

[nadiathesaint]

"Snow monsters? Tiny bunnies that dance? Clingy kittens that bury you on couches?"

"Meh my old school had giant snakes, posessed teachers, violent students, and the occasional serial killer." Lavender paused. "It sounds likea much scarier palce than it actually is. I found out about most of that stuff after the fact."

[nadiathesaint]

"My roommate went evil and nearly killed two people, and my boyfriend and one of my best friends got possessed and tried to kill a bunch of us. But mostly we get tiny bunnies and jello dragons."

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"As long as they aren't succeeding in killing anyone." Lavender shrugged thinking of the people they'd lost to the war and all the people they hadn't lost yet.
"Tiny bunnies sound good"

[nadiathesaint]

Well, other than that one girl last semester.

"Yeah. I guess we've been pretty lucky."

Lavender gestures to the tv. "Plus at my old school there was no electricity let alone television." She smiles trying to force thoughts of what might be happening back home out of her head.

[nadiathesaint]

"No electricity? I thought you went to school in Scotland, not the moon!"

Lavender took a deep breath. She knew Nadia had ahve right to be surprised and getting defensive wasn't exactly the best way to make new friends. She smoothed her skirt.
"I'm a witch. I went to a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry. There was no need for electricity because of magic." She hoped that made sense.

[nadiathesaint]

"Oh. Right. Magic."

"The lack of fire here is actually really strange to me. I'm used to all my light and heat coming from it." Lavender let out a sigh that sounded suspiciously like a giggle. "Trousers and televisions, there's a lot to adjust to."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well it could be worse. One girl I know came here from the 12th century AD."

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Wow. yeah at least I knew about the existence of electricity before I got here. You're from the present then?" Lavender giggled. "That's such an odd question."

[nadiathesaint]

"One year in the future, actually."

"That's 2007 right? I'm from 1996. I didn't know much about muggle culture, which I spose to you would be normal British culture, until this summer when my dad started teaching me stuff so that I wouldn't be totally lost when I got here."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah, 2007. Muggle?"

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"It's our term for non-magical people and techonology and so forth."
