The invite was met with a bright smile from Astoria, showing her straight white teeth as she nodded thanks in response and settled down across from him. The bright smile never seemed to leave her face as she practically oozed happiness and excitement. Even though this was their 6th year, she was still not used to life revolving around magic. Especially with the lack of magic at home; that and Quidditch, she really missed Quidditch during the summer! Maybe someday she could see a professional Quidditch game.

The thoughts of possible adventures next summer with her friends rolled through her head before she snapped back to reality, realizing that Skyler was talking to her about his summer and her attention fully returned to the world around her and honed in on Sklyer as she listened to his explanation of what he had done for the summer and the instant he explained that  he had practice with ancient runes, the blondes gray-blue eyes sparkled with excitement. [color=pink]“Wow! That’s amazing! Yes, yes I am taking Ancient Runes again this year. The idea of being able to study the magical world’s runes is something that has interested me ever since I came to Hogwarts.”[/color]

There was no doubt that Astoria’s life had drastically changed since she became involved with the magical world but one thing that never changed was her interest in history. The amount of history and ancient things in the muggle world was vast and interesting but now, NOW Astoria had a whole new world to play in and she couldn’t wait to get a chance to do so.

Her eyes expanded as she stared at the young man across from her, not only did they expand but the twinkled with questioned and excitement. [color=pink]“What does your father do for a living that gets him to visit ancient runes?! Not to mention take his son along!”[/color]
