 Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash was a tiny little bit sad. Okay. She was more than a tiny little bit sad. In fact, she had tears in her eyes as she stopped by the Slytherin table looking for a few Slytherins. At the top of the list was Claudine. She had a whole present for her... it was book full of art of the two of them and Heath. and she had a little sketch of a phoenix on the inside cover... and a cute note... and she even tried her best to make the silver wrapping paper perfectly neat. It was not perfectly neat. It was not neat at all... but she had really tried. She hesitantly approached her big sister, who looked busy. Was she too busy for her? "Umm, Claudine? I made you... something..." She held out the present to her. Was she crying? No, of course not.
She was definitely crying. |
