She nodded in agreement at the comment about their names, having always felt particularly at home with her own. "All cats are," She noted, having always felt that even the grumpiest of cats had a little streak of curiosity about them even if it was not always for humans. Beckoning gently she did what she could to welcome Axel to draw nearer.<br/><br/>Even Bella didn't get any uncertainty from a statement like that. 'It's a date' said a lot in so few words. It was nice, though. Light and not too heavy even if it carried a good deal of weight. She just nodded in agreement, then listening to the idea they get to know one another and nodding again with a smile. "Absolutely. I think we're already doing it," Bella replied, already having started to get what she felt was a reasonable picture of Ava, at least the surface of her.<br/><br/>"I know that feeling. All of my days would start late if I wasn't very careful about it," Bella sympathized, having had several alarms prepared to make sure she didn't miss this very train. Early mornings didn't particularly bother her but she wasn't built for them either. "I'm sure there are all sorts in store for us," She noted, glad that it seemed Ava shared her general enthusiasm for Hogwarts.<br/><br/>When she was asked what she looked forward to most Bella's eyes brightened and she began to answer in a heartbeat. "The grounds. I love wandering them, trying to see creatures from the outskirts of the black forest and peering into the lake. It's such a beautiful place," Bella enthused, the passion in her voice all too obvious in every single syllable. Glancing around, Bella had a briefly slightly furtive expression before leaning in to whisper conspiratorially while taking care not to disrupt Boots and Axel. "Have you ever snuck into the forbidden forest?" She asked, her demeanor almost certainly giving away the answer that would come if the question was returned to sender.
