Who she assumed to be a confident if maybe a little arrogant young man in the beginning, quickly evolved into a more complex human being who continued to surprise her. He was like a good scotch, with a lot of evolving notes and a building intensity that surprised her pallat. He was kind, sweet, and brilliant. He had the amusing habit of losing his train of thought and jumping from one detail to the next without getting flustered or angry. In a school full of bravado and ‘us vs. them’ with the roles of houses, Cai was a breath of fresh air.<br/><br/>But she really didn’t want to talk about what happened after Hogwarts. She was dreading the changes of seasons, the little cues that told them all that their time was over. It wasn’t that Addison wasn’t ready to go out, explore and discover the person she was going to be. She just had a difficult decision to make --appease her parents and take up the job as an Auror just as they expected and drilled into her her entire life? or do what her heart sang for and get involved with Magizoology. She was good with animals, she knew that. It wasn’t an affinity so much as an appreciation and respectful understanding. But going that route would be a battle, one she was certain would be full of sabotage and strife.<br/><br/>She kept her face carefully masked, processing how best to respond while also shifting her torso on the bench. She leaned quite comfortably against Cai, with the warm fuzzball that was Fez still coiled like a snake on her lap. “I’m just hoping the year doesn’t go by too fast. It’s our last one, you know? Life after this will change dramatically. People will drift apart, life will take us on our journeys and I’ve been quite happy here at Hogwarts. I’m in no rush to make it a distant memory.” He was warm against her back. While he pressed his trainers up against the opposite bench, she pressed the spiky heel of her boot against the window in contrast. Their bodies shaped a crude ‘L’ but it was comfortable and familiar, close, without being overly intimate.<br/><br/>“What about you, Cai?” She lifted his arm -the one closest to her- and pulled it over her head so that she was more comfortably leaning against his chest and the limb was loosely around her toso. “What do you have planned?”<br/>
