Viola paused, considering the question of whether or not they missed Pemberly. “It’s kind of strange, because most of the time I forget I’ve even left at all.” They attempted to explain. Even at Durmstrang they didn’t see Pemberly much due to conflicting schedules and not having a real desire to seek their sibling out. Viola also didn’t like the idea that their inability to make friends – or rather, choice not to make friends – wouldn’t reflect well on Pemberly, so limiting that association was mutual beneficial. “We write, I guess, but it’s not like I’m missing some huge piece of me.” They shrugged. Family was important, of course, but caring that much about anyone, that they would miss someone, wasn’t something Viola thought they could ever do.
Viola laughed when Roxy said that chocolate was a suitable gift for any and all relation. “Just make sure they don’t realize you’ve gotten all of them chocolate.” They advised. Maybe it was an easy gift, but getting a reputation as a lazy gift-giver couldn’t have been good.

Viola described how they forgot that they'd left their sibling behind at Durmstrang. Roxy didn't get it at all. "I can't imagine not being close to my brother. I miss him a lot, and I saw him, like, two days ago." She grinned at the memory, because Viola had inspired it in the first place. "We set boxes on fire. Just over -" she pointed at a particular part of the courtyard where the scorch mark had probably been cleaned before setting up for the Ball "- there."
Just make sure that they don't realise that you've gotten them all chocolate, Viola advised, and Roxy laughed. She had a bit of a workaround for that. "Getting the right chocolate helps. They have to get all the presents too, and chocolate is better than quills and ink."

Roxy said that she couldn’t imagine being away from their brother, and Viola arched an eyebrow. They didn’t think that being that close to anyone was something they really wanted to do, and they wondered whether or not it was healthy to be that attached to someone, or if they were the unhealthy one for not having any attachments like that in the first place. Viola snorted when Roxy said that she and her brother had set boxes on fire together. “You know, I wasn’t expecting you to actually go through with that.” They commented. Viola had to admit, they were disappointed that they mixed it. “Does your brother have some boxes of his own to burn?” Viola asked. They knew it probably wasn’t their place to ask that, but they were curious as to whether Roxy’s brother did something stupid for her sake, or because he needed the reminder, too.
“There’s…wrong chocolate?” Viola asked with a furrow of their brows. That sounded a little ridiculous. But not being the relative to get everyone quills and ink did sound preferable, if there was a choice to be had.

Roxy laughed when Viola said they hadn't actually expected that she'd really burn some boxes. "Yes, well. It was kind of satisfying, and I could." Talking about it, Roxy thought maybe she should have gone and got Viola, but at the time, she'd just wanted time with her brother, and she didn't want to share.
Did her brother have boxes of his own to burn? Probably, but it wasn't her place to say it, and she didn't think it was the real reason her brother had done it. She shrugged. "Mostly my brother just likes mischief and is happy to enable me when I do. My dad runs a joke shop, and that's where Fred works," she added, because her family made so much more sense with that piece of information.
Viola couldn't fathom wrong chocolatee, and that made perfect sense, because in Roxy's books there was no such thing either. "Not wrong chocolate, but like... if you get someone who likes super-dark chocolate milk chocolate, then that's not so good. Or someone who likes their chocolate plain something with nuts in it," she explained. "It's not wrong, it's just not same as if it's right." If you put a bit of effort into the kind of chocolate, then even if it was chocolate for everyone and was a one-shop trip, it still managed to be custom.

Viola chuckled when Roxy said that the burning of boxes had been satisfying, and then continued speaking. Just that one statement – I could – could probably summarize all of the things that Viola found interesting (dare they say, enticing) about Roxy. She didn’t care what other people thought, and did things just for the hell of it. She was a little bit wild, and Viola loved things that couldn’t be tamed.
The Durmstrang student laughed again when the Gryffindor girl said that her brother liked mischief, and that he worked in a joke shop. That explained a lot about why someone could come to their old school just to burn a few boxes. It also provided a good frame of reference for Roxy as a person, and maybe gave a reason behind her wildness. Viola didn’t care about the reason, though – all that mattered was that Roxy seemed to care as little about what others thought as Viola did.
Roxy began to explain the intricacies of picking chocolate, and Viola nodded along to it. “You’ve got this down to a science.” They wondered if Roxy had a book somewhere with all of her family’s chocolate preferences written in, because there was no way that she was able to remember all of that stuff, right?
