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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDoh06w9gs
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXM8FoDOUi
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV8nWlQQHj
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlebu3pH87
“Here for the first wand, I pressume?” He asked softly as to not scare her away.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu8CEuhkC0
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPvYo349F2
Ophelia nodded and took a few steps towards him. She placed one gold coin on the table, amusing the man.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpXPnvT3li
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQvYREfd6i
“Right. Let’s see…”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fXOalgrPW
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9iNXvZkzp
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hUXoenzUO
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENt5hPe587
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKqi2Efge0
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvHS0FqVNP
Ollivander smiled with melancholy, his eyes falling over the brunette witch.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rhKPNlWXt
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYCXYrizzY
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUvgpAZups
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rKQLdowQo
She calmed down, the wand coming back to looking like a strange shaped stick.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyXCYsQ4Ka
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7WoGilzGE
“My mother died five years ago.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbz6KoabEV
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztFHIlB2is
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0lprE9MB9
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXM37ErkmU
“What was she? Was she a mud blood?” Ophelia asked innocently.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgIcCpoNWp
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hmMzPPbOY
Ollivander’s eyes widened, surprised that she used that word.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZv22A4MCl
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZyCVNhsH
“No, no. Lillian was a pure blood but never once have I seen someone so humble.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSkloyj768
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMj928rRo8
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6pH9hLNB0
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVJ8W5rWlb
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoa0St0q3e
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabIWeoEBs6
“Take it, take it! He’s been a curse from the moment his owner returned him!”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR6E2as3JI
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxqPh79qyH
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJQiA86q5s
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCMX9gG2WM
“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?”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt79i1bQpW
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV77l8bFWiw
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl2RTyFPXl
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwgb0EmiGc
“Willard Willy. My new friend.” Ophelia said, laughing when the owl kicked her hand away from the cage.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4WZUXjBBs
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpduW8vgDk
“Talking to a bird now, aren’t we?”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VZINvEWIQ
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOlV5W3xPu
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwJ217nLxF
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqV7NYlgNm
“Shouldn’t you be helping the little creature?” Ophelia asked naively.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zvdv9GXFz
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTFVWiBSVc
The blond scoffed, “Do you need help, Dobby?”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPmPbyoyY5
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnlsaeDpXo
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkEMnWAq4Z
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAldvYV2U7t
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02OCNyybr
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ymz2JkRBw
“That sounds like slavery to me. I read back in the orphanage about-“ Her eyes widened when she realized what she said. “I mean-“1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGubOkwp2KM
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5O2Pg2W2e
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0MFhYoVle
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe6I8vGShi
“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.” 1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvp3XbPx0t
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwhczYXbAS
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1kTzD5G51
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISj5qrydv
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9rcjsPXLu
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKb9CEIkv
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv43jBRAIr
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDyf5nhAm0
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKR0DHETCM
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9iW9WqVf8
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 ¾.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dHMi18Qgz
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQYNyCv6dj
“Maybe we should ask the gentleman from the information stand.” Gloria mumbled to her husband, pointing at the officer.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bPw5fYdho
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AZR6UgHhW
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyzOz2km0l
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV4UEJHlCY
“Mum! Dad! I think you should keep close to me!” She yelled, grabbing their attention.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cOMKlUW8X
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUMQW38yZ5
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 ¾.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lL4l1CILh
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZzzd6vau7
“Wow~”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8CJJ7DfV0
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmRmbtCtFN
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVYHLmcqcX
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwZ8YKwkQI
Richard helped Ophelia get her trunk on the train and slipped something in her hand. Ophelia raised an eyebrow when she saw a penknife.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsYhW8uUOX
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS4xucXNjV
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdjG8xZFVW
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsZAzeIFWY
“My dear daughter. Please, write to us as much as you want. I’ll keep the windows open for your owl.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YOdAiiA2Q
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oilcUmc72
That was very weird, especially when a lawyer said it with such a straight face.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIokkveKuW
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7xs8Eg5f7
“Ok. I’ll be fine. I’ll write as soon as possible, I promise.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Y6z0nZsJ
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwINvJ6PjL
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.
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqZSl39J2u
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnasIw5VAay
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRrRIfKxlv
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tiOUM9cbq
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCSpPoxIJg
“Maybe I should look for another compartment…” Ophelia mumbled, her eyes moving from the redhead girl to the greasy haired boy.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjnXAKTkaE
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdlhyVUBnY
“No! No! Please, take a seat! I’m Lily and this is Severus. We’re also first years!” The redhead exclaimed, smiling brightly.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Kr1pcCkTg
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bSDbti0YM
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8fhsdsjvR
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCLMCooSJU
“I’m Ophelia. I’m new to this whole wizarding world. I never knew I was a witch even if stuff happened to me.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtOC9mAMST
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGLweEpVIb
Severus scoffed, “Are your parents muggles, then?”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenowLhrB10
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3WgUlyT9X
Lily threw a look at him which made him remember her parents were actually muggles, making him look down at his hands.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeaHajJaGI
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqU53kKvmn
“No. My birth mother was a witch but I don’t know anything about my father. I don’t think I ever met him.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z68E7HE6A
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzH1ZWb4gD
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNb6FnAdce
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke6eENjYHx
“Why is blood rank so important to wizards?” Ophelia asked, genuinely confused.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld3Yi27DsY
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3DdEN6MVC
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSylsF6iEy
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZfcXBk1v
"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."1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJaZmt4aw7
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86mp4QxS88
"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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXCH3vCiw
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQ66N13mT
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpmuqyGftX
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWJkFmeXVX
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5pbmTEsp7
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvOI8UqZAw
"What house do you suppose you'll get sorted in?" Lily asked Ophelia, eyes twinkling.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH2CpnIIGU
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcKZ6PLNNS
"I don't know. I don’t care that much as long as I can learn magic.” She responded bluntly.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXoeEAwWoC
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuUgGbEX0A
Severus raised an eyebrow and leaned on his knees, his dark eyes staring at Ophelia’s elongated green orbs.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM7pzwMI87
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxZ5QjBqmX
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRbVoIxa2S
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj5KOSkPed
“Gryffindor would be a good choice too, don't you think?" Lily asked.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2F4O5KdcX
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlWSXJ2jNC
Ophelia noticed the sneer on Snape's face at the mention of Gryffindor but didn't say anything.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMxbqeppQm
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX806ZxCKV6
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jLc7wgCPK
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajNOQhKgn5
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZspSDJLpb
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtfl4Y0eEc
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaXlSngzha
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhwrjgmcku
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYndjqKsTjz
The owl didn’t even stir. Severus levitated the cage down on the seat and Lily walked towards it, watching the owl with curiosity.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZRN5EtVdR
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvkDf8CXF9
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMVv1rvOF
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy5Ft113P8
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YZj6RdtQA
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWZ1GtQmYE
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanVoFi39D1
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1SumKR2h8
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDsCynob2M
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6qk3czFhF
“Petrificus Totalus.” He whispered, pointing his wand at the owl.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDje6vzwkdD
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOVCMbh5g
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFw7ZwMlnX
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslDTrpMD21
“Look what you have done, Sev. What if he won’t return to normal?” Lily asked her friend, troubled.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJWch2omhk
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3up80EFeAk
“I can just use a counter-curse and it will be fine. I know what I’m doing Lily.” He whispered back.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBJdWjjB5M
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaT7AHTl9T
The two glanced at Ophelia and saw her stare with a poker face at her pet.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cCg8vQDL2
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRkuekYQfv
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QfORKcGf0
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevATa4SzY
“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?”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXmAadbjVV
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYg1gQTyi1
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrus1tqcKbO
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc17JU3JJuy
“Can’t you do it too? You know, using magic without a wand.”1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs27nzII516
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJkcizFUE
Severus looked at her closely before sitting down, puffing his cheeks in annoyance.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5acK55M4Xy
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO6RvkyRzQ
“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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgk3tYggbJ
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQn9m6lfpi
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.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn6948Dhue
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDPLYQ0pny
“So your sister isn’t a witch?” Ophelia asked when Lily dived into her family situation.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvT51w9v2W
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fC72EG3xT
“She’s not. Severus was the first person I met that was like me.” She admitted, smiling at the greasy haired boy.1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKqzT4ERYK
1142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQexXNXIgF5
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.
