Entering the shop called Ollivander’s was interesting. She wasn’t the only customer, there was another boy that looked afraid for his life. Instead of walking to him, she adventured deep in the store, confused why she was there for. She also realized she didn’t ask the stranger for his name, once again, and rubbed her forehead in frustration.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84VXQrhq4
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdXC0YwD3Q
By the time she returned to the front desk, the other boy was gone. She was alone in the store and the man behind the front desk was watching her eagerly.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzaLsuVjnq
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO7Bdudwbx
“Here for the first wand, I pressume?” He asked softly as to not scare her away.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09dkEqWuqC
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC1RQa6BCd
Ophelia nodded and took a few steps towards him. She placed one gold coin on the table, amusing the man.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc88DbxmKxz
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiaxK1kkuR
“Right. Let’s see…”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKQ4qElLwf
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTr1w0jC3E
Mr. Ollivander, as Ophelia found out was his name, gave her a big number of wands but none seemed to fit her. A lot of them were too squishy in her hand and some of them were getting stiff once she touched them. An hour and a half passed until Ollivander took a closer look at Ophelia’s eyes. He could remember every wand he sold but there were some specific children that he gave their wands to: Lillian Gaunt, for example. With that name in mind, Ollivander gave Ophelia an Alder wood, Phoenix feather core, 13 inches in length and very flexible.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dPx520Yix
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe2itaqeZe
Once Ophelia held it, she felt a special kind of butterflies in her stomach. Her eyes brightened as her fingers tingled and blue sparkles emanated from her wand.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1ggMfEPCa
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq8hixMC38
Ollivander smiled with melancholy, his eyes falling over the brunette witch.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmnYYBxrb
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqFFOoiHgs
“Phoenix feather cores come in pairs. I sold the other one a very long time ago to a little girl who was living with her cousin. That little girl had the brightest green eyes I have ever seen and the brightest red hair. Lillian was her name and I can only guess you are her daughter.” Ollivander explained, his eyes focused on the brunette witch.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGX2poehxE
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb4paFO71f
She calmed down, the wand coming back to looking like a strange shaped stick.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaOE1TBDkK
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4knI80b0J
“My mother died five years ago.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gdNRIfp8d
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZUV6El4F
Ollivander’s expression fell into a look of sorrow, remembering just what else was there about Lillian. Ophelia didn’t look like she was aware of her family heritage or about the wizarding world in general.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtAFTK4FIG
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd83APoxkm
“What was she? Was she a mud blood?” Ophelia asked innocently.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOUEfaNTn
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWIFkmi2DB
Ollivander’s eyes widened, surprised that she used that word.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRrXusyAXo
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK24QGy2w2c
“No, no. Lillian was a pure blood but never once have I seen someone so humble.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sGwvgOtON
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqvWEhLRRm
Ophelia smiled softly. It wasn’t every day that someone would speak about Lillian, not that many have met her. It actually made Ophelia wonder why she ended up in the orphanage when it was obvious her mother knew people from the wizarding community.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby8liuOKf5
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OBdOE48js
That thought and the nice words Mr. Ollivander said about Lillian seemed to keep Ophelia so busy that she completely forgot where she was going. She blinked when she found herself in front of the same brown owl. This time, she entered and used the remaining coins in order to buy him.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbpyr7tctH
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EyubfzaTm
“Take it, take it! He’s been a curse from the moment his owner returned him!”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmf7PsLwKg
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV25Xr7bnH
With the eagerness in the owner’s eyes, Ophelia paid for the rest of the stuff and walked out. Surprisingly, the owl seemed very calm and content.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ91NRQUkaP
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiKhhnXmbO
“What name should I give you?” She asked the beautiful brown owl. “Buffy? Blinky? Bert?” She asked more names but the owl was making a weird face at each of them. Ophelia laughed and stopped near a wall, waiting for her savior. “What about Willard?”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOm8VeHFXs
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjPpdjNXiA
The brown owl blinked before tilting his head to the side. Ophelia smiled and rubbed his feathers through the cage. He didn’t move once and didn’t bite her, even though the shop owner was adamant that he was a violent owl.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBLr9ZqPTx
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDWSCBjqvG
“Willard Willy. My new friend.” Ophelia said, laughing when the owl kicked her hand away from the cage.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h38EcPFTa
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgulGxgwsZU
“Talking to a bird now, aren’t we?”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY6x6DdiVu
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVrCZSaSVs
Ophelia looked up, surprised to see the same blond from before. He was holding onto a few books that looked heavier than him yet he was holding them easily. This time, next to him was a small creature with big green eyes that was carrying a pile of stuff bigger than him. Quite rudely, the blond dropped the heavy books into a medium sized cauldron, making the small creature almost fall on his bottom.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeRi3bxLre
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROPke4tYFn
“Shouldn’t you be helping the little creature?” Ophelia asked naively.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VO9pf3FlY
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqKUpgu4TP
The blond scoffed, “Do you need help, Dobby?”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfH44LuhMo
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGPY1CWCFH
“No sir! Young Master Malfoy should never carry anything. That is Dobby’s job, sir!” A squeaky voice was heard from behind the stack of books.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vVVGEpMJ
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1F3MA0NJa
“See?” The blond asked, turning towards Ophelia with an expectant look. “That is what house elves do but of course, you mud blood don’t know that either.” He sneered.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp93JYmk2Q
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC6WcE5crx
“That sounds like slavery to me. I read back in the orphanage about-“ Her eyes widened when she realized what she said. “I mean-“1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgmgs3V7n
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hdzMvL2Hb
It was already too late. The blond already found out something new about her and it looked like he was the type of person to keep it for later, when he needed it.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF3EE0YmlW
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVbbv1RhUZ
“Anyway, my mother was a witch so I’m not a mud blood. I just found out that she was a pure blood, too.” Ophelia added quickly, getting on her feet and bloating with pride. “Who are you anyway? Always looking down on me when you have just met me.” 1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBffjW8oOs
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0nMDi5bRf
“Maybe you should ask this mother of yours about the Malfoys. I’m sure she will tell you exactly what you need to know. Let’s go Dobby!” He said, throwing her a nasty look before walking away.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdwiETsDJ6
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F0LTQV60D
Ophelia watched the house elf barely walk with all the heavy stuff he was carrying yet he didn’t say a word, just followed his master.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnN9B2AKpB
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0MlDrSZV5
When Tom found Ophelia, she was sulking with her back against the cold wall. He noticed the wand in her hand and the owl in the cage, watching him approach. Tom smirked when the brown owl backed away at the sight of his eyes.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7eBIU0TxB
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nIeg5JKom
Ophelia got back home a few minutes later, right in front of her house actually. She wanted to thank Tom but he vanished before she could say anything. Gloria Molley was more than shocked when her daughter entered the house after hours of being gone with an owl and a wand.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIUozfnxQn
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIPkJQLTgx
The next morning, she sent Willy on his first errand with her reply to Hogwarts. When she walked downstairs for breakfast, she found the rest of the stuff she needed for Hogwarts, even robes.
That was how, on September 1st, Ophelia Molley arrived with her parents in King’s Cross station in London, searching for Platform 9 ¾.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiuVOtUGYa
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OulONlBCU
“Maybe we should ask the gentleman from the information stand.” Gloria mumbled to her husband, pointing at the officer.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPOzgotzmc
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNcdt9Mx6F
Ophelia sighed, disappointed that the mysterious stranger didn’t come to see her off. Willy squirmed in his cage and stared intensely at his owner. He made a few small noises before he started to jump. Once he grabbed Ophelia’s attention, he pointed with his beak at a certain wall. She glanced at the owl before placing the cage down and moving a bit so she could have a bigger picture of Platform 9 and Platform 10. Her eyes fell over the space between them and tilted her head to the side. Ophelia hummed before she grabbed her trunk and cage and walked in front of the wall between the platforms.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eaTx1FMvG
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZTZbLSJOm
“Mum! Dad! I think you should keep close to me!” She yelled, grabbing their attention.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrRxXgwAWS
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHVNNN5lPB
Gloria and Richard glanced at each other in worry but followed her advice anyway. Ophelia closed her eyes and ran right through the wall, feeling a slight breeze before arriving on Platform 9 ¾.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ekrMjg7NW
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZHr9fquXO
“Wow~”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrlcWf2XMn
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7vN12C2L1
It was amazing. There were more children, of different ages, than Ophelia imagined. Parents were hugging their children while some looked uncomfortable and only patted their backs. It was a whole new world, one that amazed the Molleys more than it amazed their daughter.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56mteNt13l
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pJTC7HjgD
Richard helped Ophelia get her trunk on the train and slipped something in her hand. Ophelia raised an eyebrow when she saw a penknife.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hm4jMvZhw
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbeBxEcZ5s
“Just to be safe. You never know what some of these people can do.” He whispered before kissing her cheek and letting Gloria say her farewells.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoMlTdTqEH
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGqRmO7ap
“My dear daughter. Please, write to us as much as you want. I’ll keep the windows open for your owl.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKMbRzDrIv
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnI0VmQrV
That was very weird, especially when a lawyer said it with such a straight face.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2jrDJhbps
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RgPXfWV96
“Ok. I’ll be fine. I’ll write as soon as possible, I promise.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCHhRJJuMs
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm8AlTirGZ
Gloria nodded and hugged her daughter one more time before they heard the train’s honk. Ophelia got on the train, holding Willy’s cage in one hand while the other grasped the handle of her trunk. She smiled and waved at her parents before the train started to move. Ophelia took a last long look at her parents before walking inside.
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAITT6aBMb
Searching for an empty compartment was proving to be difficult. She was a newcomer, a first year and friends were difficult to find and make. Ophelia wasn’t exactly a social butterfly and her friends have always depended on circumstances. Now, she was on foreign land and she had to step carefully or she’d get hurt.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEB6pYktFJ
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IyvVDLW4W
She found one compartment in the very back that looked empty. When she entered, she noticed two other children. They stopped speaking when they saw her which made her feel unwanted.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQQrdwMWQg
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSmQdNNzPA
“Maybe I should look for another compartment…” Ophelia mumbled, her eyes moving from the redhead girl to the greasy haired boy.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd6MZAwpm2
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvuPjng3eA
“No! No! Please, take a seat! I’m Lily and this is Severus. We’re also first years!” The redhead exclaimed, smiling brightly.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro9S5tHAob
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9P6Oc1aq
Looking at Severus, Ophelia knew she interfered with their personal space. She grasped Willy’s cage but Lily’s bright eyes made her feel bad. In the end, Ophelia placed her luggage aside and sat on one side while Lily and Severus sat on the other side. When Lily chose to change seats and come next to Ophelia, she swore she saw the greasy haired boy narrow his eyes at her.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MwTiee7lk
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv07BHTz9P
“I’m Ophelia. I’m new to this whole wizarding world. I never knew I was a witch even if stuff happened to me.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb5wNOplmq
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcd5tA7NY4
Severus scoffed, “Are your parents muggles, then?”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeurKonlxRG
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQBbcVi1L9
Lily threw a look at him which made him remember her parents were actually muggles, making him look down at his hands.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcygr5Zd4Kx
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp4W1Zqk1z
“No. My birth mother was a witch but I don’t know anything about my father. I don’t think I ever met him.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbaYKQa7d
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLCQBgBue4
“That means you’re a half blood, like Sev. My parents are muggles. They were very surprised when I received my Hogwarts letter.” Lily chuckled, remembering that moment.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrltgqOJaD3
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QNZ0nq4Uj
“Why is blood rank so important to wizards?” Ophelia asked, genuinely confused.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbI35PDLW4
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wiBAnUA12
“Haven’t you read anything at all? Blood status is a concept in the wizarding world that distinguishes between family trees that have different levels of magically-endowed members. It often results in prejudice towards those who have a large number of Muggles in their families. It is very important.” Severus answered, scowling at Ophelia’s ignorance.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAqyRkxnaf
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl3u4hLB5o
"Well, I did read about Hogwarts a bit. I know there are four houses and my parents seemed to enjoy the thought that I could be in Ravenclaw."1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC1uMj9iA2
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBoBGgF2or
"That doesn't depend on you, it depends on the Sorting Ceremony. You'll get sorted based on your skills and values." Severus added, scowling continuously at the new acquaintance.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk0BlxdCvv
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJldVDKC4kd
Ophelia didn’t seem to mind this peculiar boy with greasy black hair and eyes that knew nothing but to look down upon anyone that wasn’t a friend. Severus wasn’t like the boys in Bread of Life Orphanage, witty and always looking for trouble but he wasn’t like the boys in her neighborhood either, always classy and neat with answers by the book.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIzAsMAE09
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzgQCwLyQa
On the other hand, Lily looked a lot like Lillian, though it was probably only because she was a ginger with green eyes. The difference was probably the glint and the atmosphere, in which Lily was just a child while Lillian was a grown up adult with a lot of pressure.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa8NIjF9AI
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6iZQjdVX
"What house do you suppose you'll get sorted in?" Lily asked Ophelia, eyes twinkling.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbPwZeiQTb
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgjNgqhyVi
"I don't know. I don’t care that much as long as I can learn magic.” She responded bluntly.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCXJ0sEhsG
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy5Q7JOWyU
Severus raised an eyebrow and leaned on his knees, his dark eyes staring at Ophelia’s elongated green orbs.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKdAu3zpIx
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIZNeGYWf9
“Slytherin is the best house. A Slytherin is always fearless and smart. I, personally, prefer it before any other house.” Severus said, bloating when he mentioned himself.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabyfdsoBLU
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo6LomJ3k1
“Gryffindor would be a good choice too, don't you think?" Lily asked.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZNtwWOxPU
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMw4V2dfY
Ophelia noticed the sneer on Snape's face at the mention of Gryffindor but didn't say anything.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HIOs1PcOZ
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9WVRSJAqf
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wxlIJVqSq
For the rest of the ride to Hogwarts, Severus continued speaking about Hogwarts and everything he has found out about magic. Ophelia was intrigued by the number of spells he knew already and the way he would look when performing them. Watching him was just like watching the pale stranger.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAarFXk6eIJ
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcWdIO3eSR
“So, tell me again, how do we make things fly?” She asked, sitting so close to Severus that the boy felt like she was ready to enter his mind.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeUY0ImwF1
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau8BkS0vN3
“It’s levitation not flying. You do it like this.” He said, waving his wand in a certain way before Willy’s cage started to fly.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjqYlTUT87
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVvEPaQCfZ
The owl didn’t even stir. Severus levitated the cage down on the seat and Lily walked towards it, watching the owl with curiosity.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWANHCrOZ1
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oqykErzxq
“I wouldn’t get too close to him. He might bite.” Ophelia advised the ginger, knowing that was exactly what happened when Richard tried to pat him.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqXbFzDwD1
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTh8W6XgTx
Lily did listen to Ophelia and didn’t touch the cage but even so, she couldn’t help feel like that owl was trying to see into her soul.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9lgALugI
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyJbLVDPur
“Do you want me to show you something that can really help you?” Severus asked, seeing how Ophelia’s just started the levitation charm and did it very well from the first try.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDX3GYHYBg
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T5FZHGy1d
Ophelia nodded, eyes sparkling with excitement. Severus smirked and turned to Willy. The owl tilted his head to the side, looking at the boy as if he was taunting him to dare and curse him.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT6hZ1tOiU
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ZjMQhIHQ
“Petrificus Totalus.” He whispered, pointing his wand at the owl.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J7UL1NHdo
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQVCEtX0u
Ophelia’s eyes widened while Lily hit Severus indignantly. She could hear the two friends bickering behind as the brunette walked to her owl and checked if he was alive. He was, but he looked like a statue, unable to even blink.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr0lJYZQy2
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEoFQyXMHi
“Look what you have done, Sev. What if he won’t return to normal?” Lily asked her friend, troubled.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky3vkMy07g
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSRLZ6kdvb
“I can just use a counter-curse and it will be fine. I know what I’m doing Lily.” He whispered back.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0pFlnH2nu
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOlJ34YNrl
The two glanced at Ophelia and saw her stare with a poker face at her pet.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOKMZOWTX6
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqmJ1reXJS
On the other hand, Ophelia’s mind was swirling with thoughts about curses. The pale boy knew so much already and he seemed so sure of what he knew and what he was doing that it amazed her. She reached inside the cage in order to touch Willy when something blue came out of her finger and went straight into her owl. The pet blinked a few times before he glared at Severus but the greasy haired boy was staring warily at Ophelia.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEPLhAtEyZ
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMvwOEwDcH
“How did you do that?” He asked, getting up and hovering over her. “You didn’t even touch him and definitely didn’t use a wand so how did you lift the curse?”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELFF3OMJkJ
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWUQ7g0q39
Ophelia raised an eyebrow and glanced at him before her eyes fell on Lily. She looked just as surprised as Severus but didn’t seem as angry about it as him.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXK6AGPUup
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuHhnfVogj
“Can’t you do it too? You know, using magic without a wand.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7CVkVTUl
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiLx4jqB3W
Severus looked at her closely before sitting down, puffing his cheeks in annoyance.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYwEtaVMSo
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUYwUAC62a
“It’s possible but only if you reach a certain level. We’re still young so I doubt any of us can control magic without a wand.” He explained.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiu7XFqdX8
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hb3vdc3z7
With that established, Ophelia kept her hands on her lap at all times and placed Willy’s cage next to her trunk, just to be safe. Severus didn’t say anything anymore and Lily took it as a sign to speak about normal, muggle stuff. Ophelia fell into that immediately and listened to the ginger while one greasy haired boy was glowering at her for having Lily’s entire attention.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DV0wCpXwL
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnx72hvKtB
“So your sister isn’t a witch?” Ophelia asked when Lily dived into her family situation.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYfbZvDrdl
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaDdEfxp0Z
“She’s not. Severus was the first person I met that was like me.” She admitted, smiling at the greasy haired boy.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2zAmcuegl
1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7h9gz9HRv
Ophelia raised an eyebrow and leaned back, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Watching the two interact was like watching a ragged dog watching a butterfly fly around his head; it was both interesting and pitying.
