SPOILER!!: Cassie
She sat quietly listening and smiling. "It did mean you were very close, but something was getting in your way with the connection between you and the Crystal ball. It only takes a small distraction to lose that connection. Even now after all my practice I still struggle at times." She wasn't afraid to admit that at all. It was just normal. "It's one of my favorite ways to get things off my chest and forget about them." No need to carry around so much negative just burn them away.

Her brow did raise at his question. It wasn't one she had personal experience with. "Does your family understand? I know for some it's harder, but if they understand and love you then it shouldn't be a problem at all. They will except anything. If they don't, then most the people I know try to help educate them into understanding or they just use it sparingly around their family if at all to help make things easier." She knew that wasn't the best answer, but it's all she really had. "You know my grandmother works as a muggle psychic. She is very well known and loved by the London community. So even though muggles don't understand it and most don't even know it's around, they want it to be. So they go to people like psychics to help." It was interesting to her that they would. "Can you come to Diagon Alley to be with your friends from school during the summer? No student can use magic outside of school if they are underage, so you at least have that knowing that you aren't the only wizard not able to practice." Giving a soft smile, she didn't want him to be discouraged.


Ian was very encouraged by her tone, and cheerful spirit and overall attitude. Maybe he wasn't such a failure at this at all. Thank you for the encouragement. Sorry to have bothered you with this.

When she asked him about his family, he fidgeted a little bit. His family wasn't really a big deal, but his dad wouldn't let him talk about it around the rest of the family. Said they wouldn't understand and they would mistreat him. Ian didn't think that was right, to hide who you were just because you were different. Then there was the whole secrecy from muggle law thing. Well.... He began. He began to twist his hands in his lap and looked at his knees. ummm....I...well you see.....it's not exactly.....I don't know. My mum and dad are ok...at least they say they are. But they said I can't say anything to anyone. It's almost like their ashamed of me. And then....well....I know it's important....and I don't want to say the Ministry's wrong and all.... and then he sort of trailed off. When she asked about Diagon Alley, he nodded excitedly. Yes ma'am... And then he remembered. Well...I mean they did this year, but I don't think I'll have any friends to spend time with next year. I made a complete mess of things this year and I haven't any friends to go see anymore. This part was completely and thoroughly humiliating and Ian lifted his left hand to his mouth and begin to chew on his thumbnail.
