Her dorm space in Ravenclaw Tower is a charming mess of photographs, parchment clippings, and scented ink bottles. She has an old enchanted corkboard where she pins candid photos of her friends, each one charmed to move slightly—capturing everything from Natty's side-eye during breakfast to Dahlia’s rare, unguarded smiles after a duel.

One of her most cherished pastimes is collecting vintage quills and ink bottles. Her dorm shelf is lined with little glass vials—some shaped like crescent moons, others speckled with flecks of gold—and every quill in her collection has a story. Some are passed down from her mother’s days at Beauxbatons; others were gifted by friends or found at hidden stalls in Diagon Alley. She swears each one writes differently, and she rotates them depending on her mood.

Despite her busy schedule, Niki always makes time to stargaze. She keeps a small enchanted telescope by her windowsill, and on quiet nights, she’ll sit curled in her blanket with a cup of spiced tea, whispering constellations to herself. She’s memorized most of them and likes to make up her own stories about how the stars came to be. Sometimes she’ll drag a friend up to the Astronomy Tower just to share the view.

She doodles constantly—on her parchment, on her hands, even in the margins of her friends’ homework if they leave it unattended too long. Little hearts, swirls, and cartoonish versions of her professors often make surprise appearances.

She keeps a tiny, beat-up notebook on her at all times, filled with half-finished messages, overheard conversations, dramatic one-liners she dreams of using in her writing, and quotes from her favorite romance novels. The corners are frayed and there are tea stains on several pages, but she guards it like treasure.

Niki is also obsessed with handwritten letters. She writes them constantly—even if she could just tell someone in person. Whether it’s a long thank-you note or a rambling birthday letter full of inside jokes and doodles, her handwriting always carries her warmth. Her friends often find folded notes in their pockets or bags with encouraging words or silly observations she couldn’t wait to share.

She adores reading romance novels, especially the kind with brooding heroes and windswept castles, and she has an ever-growing stack beside her bed. She annotates the pages with pastel tabs and frequently rereads her favorite chapters while sipping hot cocoa. Her favorite part? The small declarations of love—the subtle glances, the brush of hands, the unspoken tension. She secretly hopes one day someone will leave her a handwritten love letter, preferably scented and dramatically folded.

Outside of her cozy hobbies, Niki has a love for press photography, especially when it involves sneaking around Hogwarts for her next big scoop. She carries a small enchanted camera named “Pixel” that clicks softly and develops moving photos in seconds. She has a knack for catching people mid-expression—sometimes embarrassing, sometimes beautiful—and has a drawer full of “unpublished moments” that she deems too sweet or too private to ever release.

Oddly enough, she also loves watching the rain. Not just casually—she’ll stop whatever she’s doing to sit by the nearest window, resting her chin in her palm, her thoughts swirling with inspiration. She says it helps her “think in colors.” Her favorite kind of rain is the kind that hits the window like a gentle heartbeat.

And then, there’s her quiet love of Muggle stationery. Thanks to Quinn’s Muggle side, Niki got her hands on some Muggle notebooks, pastel gel pens, and stickers—which she now uses religiously to organize her article drafts or decorate her letters.
