“Er. I can’t even imagine myself sunshiny.” It really was a funny picture. Aurora laughed so hard at the thought, even Mordred can’t stop himself from laughing. “I’ll be a terrible looking yellow flower. It’s just sad.” He said in between laughs.

Mordred looked at Aurora in disbelief. “Of course you girls like dress robes. Puffy. glittery, shiny dress robes.” He said shaking his head. “Don’t you ever get tired of choosing which to wear? Mum does that a lot. She’d try something on, takes it off, and tries another….and that goes on for hours.” Mordred said with exasperation. “Good thing Twilfit’s got great couches. Mum always catches us dozing off.” He said, dreading that he might go back there soon. If there will be a ball next year, he was sure his mother would drag him to that store and make him try half of its contents.

Mordred nodded in agreement to Aurora’s proposal, although he was almost sure she’d get herself a date. Sure, he can fly solo – but if everyone’s getting a date, he doesn’t want to be left behind. “So am I interesting?” he challenged her. But Aurora was right. He shouldn’t give up easily, especially on himself. Confidence? He is a confident young boy—but not with the girls. There’s just something about them that he’s scared of.

“You mean to say that Wurzburg is their local version of Hogsmeade? Or Diagon Alley? If so, I’d like to visit it next.” Why did he not think of that earlier? Germany sounds interesting, and he knew Durmstrang’s near that country.
