"I'll see when the time comes," Jory Ari. "What do you want to do when you leave Hogwarts, anyway?"
Jory thought hard. He had no memory what so ever over saying an incantation. All he remembered was his sister Grace who was four years then running around trying to catch him and the next think her hair was pink then turned red a few second later. At that time it could not have been explained. Jory remembered how his mother had panicked the whole day. His dad thought Jory had played a prank and wasn't so fussed.
He told Ari he didn't remember any incantation. "Why does he want to turn it blue?" He pitied the poor cat.
Jory laughed. "Anything else unusual you walk around with?"
Was that a trace of envy Ari felt when Jory mentioned both his parents taking him to London to board the Hogwarts Express?!
'Just my mum. I've never met my dad, anyway.' she confessed, surprisingly detached. This year at Hogwarts had changed her quite a bit, she wasn't that much of an introvert and didn't keep as many secrets.
'My dad's a Muggle, and he left before I was born, when he found out mum was a witch. I know it was wrong of her to hide it from him but his actions were much worse. I wish I could at least talk to him once. He's in all the Muggle newspapers, apparently he's a very rich MP with hopes of becoming Prime Minister.' Ari stopped there, thinking it was very likely she had bored Jory with her story.
'I'll tell you, but be warned, it's not something you hear every day. Here goes,' she took a dramatic pause, continuing afterwards:
'I want to become a wandmaker.' Now the girl was waiting for Jory's reaction.
'
I don't know exactly why she wants to do that. The thing is...Gwen's a bit different, but she's a very nice girl and an extraordinary friend.' Ariadne felt the need to defend one of her favourite Ravenclaws.
'
Unusual? I wouldn't call chocolate unusual.' Ari laughed heartily.
'Well, walking around with a wand is already pretty unusual, don't you think? Other than that, I do find myself with strange objects around me from time to time, like carrying my cat's toys to class by mistake or interesting pieces of newspaper all around.' the girl chuckled.
'But can you say you never carry anything peculiar with you?' she teased.
