'Sure, she always takes me there, so I guess you might see her if we get there around the same time. Or on Diagon Alley! When do you plan on going there this summer?' Ariadne asked Jory, hoping they would meet. She would even have liked to invite him to spend some time at her family's house in Yorkshire but she was too embarassed to say so aloud.
'Yes, Gwen is very talented at drawing. She even did a portrait of me, surprisingly accurate.' the girl recalled. Ari had forgotten all about the music until Jory asked her if they should continue. Well, that's why they were there in the first place. 'Are you sure you can? Is your foot ok? I promise to be more careful this time.' Ariadne said, sincerely.
Jory admired Ari's courage. "You've got nerves, Ari,'' Jory told her. ''If it were my dad I'm not sure I would have would wanted to see the man again.'' He was very sure of that.
Jory thought. "i think I will go the day after I get the book list but I will send you an owl to let you know. Do you plan on going any particular day? I would be nice to see her. I've hardly met any adult witches and wizards.''
''She did? I would like to see it, if you don't mind of course.'' While talking to Ari, Jory hadn't realised his foot felt totally normal. "Its all better,'' he reassured Ari. "I'm sure you will be.''
Jory prepared himself for another round of dancing and held out his hand for Ari.
