"Definitely not in the muggle world" she blinked at the massive club like branches. "The willow doesn't act like this" The normal willow that was. The weeping willow as it was more commonly known.
So it wasn't as shocking as she thought it would have been? "I've met two others, they're both my age" Kinda weird. Maybe thirteen was the typical age for discovering your magic if you weren't born with it? But then she had a hand outstretched to her and so the Brunette took it and shook it. "It's lovely to meet you Cassie" she smiled warily.
Poor things indeed, but you'd think after the birds had seen so many other birds get creamed by the whomping willow they would stop flying so close to it. No such luck, so poor them indeed. the girl seemed a bit upset about the unfortunate fate of the birds but not upset enough to really dislike the tree. She seemed conflicted with her feelings on the matter..perhaps she was a nature lover? It would explain why she came out here to look at the willow."
Hardly anything that isn't alive moves in the muggle world. The magical world is so much more exciting and vibrant..." she stopped herself before she went into a rant." [B]Oh we have a few normal ones here as well, but they don't attract quite as much attention as this one."[/B
Two others? Hmm She only knew about Tom and now Gwen, that would make up her two. Perhaps late bloomers were more common than she thought."
Really? Is one of them a Thomas Broadmoor? Goes by Broadmoor?" If not then that would take them up to four late bloomers in their their third year. She grinned and shook the girl's hand as well."
It's a pleasure to meet you too Gwen, I hope you enjoy your time here at Hogwarts."
