'I don't know yet, but something like...the 20th of August? Definitely after my birthday, as my mum told me she won't buy me any presents beforehand and she'll let me get whatever I want on Diagon Alley afterwards.' The girl was already giddy about that. 'By the way, I have no idea when YOUR birthday is.' Ari realized.
'I'll show it to you sometime, but I don't have it now. Just make sure to remind me.' she promised. 'Okay, let's get through with this' Ariadne said, placing her hand on Jory's shoulder and starting to dance again, much more careful this time.
Jory honestly couldn't understand Ari's need to see her father but he let the matter drop. ''My parents are very caring. Both are understanding. They spend as much time as possible with Grace and me especially mom since dad's busy alot and sometimes even when he's home he has to leave if a high profile case. Hen dad's home we're usually playing cricket or having a cook out. Mom prefers hide and seek. And we've always have to have guards at the house 'cos dad made lots of enemies. Having guards drives my mom crazy. She thinks they invade our lives. Mom made dad teacher her how to use a gun so she's not one to mess with,'' Jory said thinking fondly of his parents.
Jory made a mental note of Ari's birthday. "Mine is December 27th. What do you plan on getting for your birthday?''
"I'll remind you,'' Jory said as he and Ari began their waltz Ari somewhat a little less relaxed than before.
