Again Jory was surprised. Ari had picked quite an unusual profession but he was sure she would be successful at it. He told her that.
''I know Gwen,'' Jory said ''and I guessed she was different.'' Jory had spoken to the young Ravie lots of time.
''No, chocolate isn't usual, I guess,'' Jory responded ''Do you pick up stuff absentmindedly? The only thing I carry around besides my wand is a picture."
He pulled out a picture out of his pocket with four persons in it. Himself, his six year old sister Grace, his mom Rachel and dad Danny. He showed it to Ari.
'
No, he never wanted to get in touch with us after that. My mum wrote him a few letters immediately after I was born, but received no answer, so she gave up.' Ari replied, adding: '
And I'm an only child.' But when speaking of her mum, the girl's face lit up.
'Mum's fantastic, she's my best friend, she's really funny and very intelligent and knowledgeable.' Ariadne made a short description and smiled at the thought of her mother.
Ari nodded at Jory's compliment about her succeeding in her chosen career and smiled gratefully. '
So what do you think of Gwen?' Ari asked the boy with curiosity. '
I won't tell her any of this, I promise.' she said, grinning.
'
Yes, I do pick up weird stuff absent-mindedly, I hope I will grow out of the habit, but who knows...' her voice trailed off while the Gryffie was admiring Jory's picture.
'Wow, so that's how a real family looks like. It's beautiful.' the girl said, impressed.
'You told me once that your sister doesn't show magical abilities, right?' Ariadne wasn't sure if she remembered correctly, but she did know for sure that someone told her that about their siblings.
