The more time she spent here, the more she got interested in this talk. Alec’s peaceful way of talking somehow charmed her. Quietness - ugh, it wasn’t something you could really take for granted in the Hufflepuff common room. Lindsey herself was not a reserved person, but sometimes - sometimes you really needed sometime alone. Alec was the intruder of her meditation. But when he broke in he brought the therapy with him, and it was valued highly in the girl’s heart. Her family was something that she wasn’t interested in mentioning after last November, but they still, annoyingly, showed up in her mind and dreams frequently. It was truly a delight that she could finally putting the thought away for some time - and she had to thank Alec for this.

“Hmm, I think there are actually different kinds of herbs.” the delight tilted in her voice when she heard Alec asking about the plants down in the Huffle’s bungalow. “And vines - I don’t know the exact names of them, but there are plenty crawling on the shelves.” she answered thoughtfully. “There’s also a willow tree in our dorm. Sounds a bit crazy, but it’s - it’s really pleasant to have one when you feel exhausted. Nature power, I believe.”

A brow raised curiously when Alec mentioned his hobby of writing journals. Lindsey herself was never in the habit of keeping a diary herself - finding that she surprisingly engaged herself in various activities that took up most of her free time which she did not know why, “time doesn’t permit”, she would say. “I feel really sorry for your journal…pretty sure that it’s well written.” she said, while trying to coming up with the picture of the journal sinking into the flames caused by perhaps an unfortunate Incendio. It was dangerous apparently, especially if it stopped Alec’s hobby of journal. Noting to herself that she had to limit uses of this certain spell later on herself, Lindsey decided that fire was not something that she liked. You could date this back to when the spring term started after Christmas vacation, when strange gifts were given out in the Hufflepuff common room. It was terrifying for Lindsey, transforming a gift into a flaming bird which flew directed to her. “Actually, I caught myself on fire once -” suddenly realizing that she was actually talking about that experience, Lindsey stopped. “- but it’s a long and not-so-pleasant story. Never mind that.”

“It counts, definitely. I’m pretty interested in reading myself.” she confirmed, rather delighted with discovering a shared hobby between them. “And I agree! Reading out here is really pleasant.” nodding approvingly, her lips curled into a merry smile. “I also love Quidditch - playing on my house team. Know that flying is not for everyone, though I think I rather like it. The feeling of flying high up is fantastic for me…” a flash of delight sparkled in her eyes upon mentioning Quidditch, when she talked about it in a cheery tone. “And music. I visit the rehearsal room occasionally when I’m free. I find it relaxing.”
