Shuddering, she turned her attention to Nathaniel as he explained. "So just a Muggle invention for a bubble-head charm." That was easy to understand if difficult to picture. "But why didn't you just use the charm?" Nodding as he reiterated what Lasca just said, she added, "Well, I would like to see those pictures." At least she could better understand that.
Glancing over to Lyra as she contributed to the conversation, Mariel offered her a smile. "Do you really get to go to places like that? That sounds amazing. I've never been outside Britain."
Nathaniel smiled at Lasca. "Mariel.. I can't use magic outside of Hogwarts. Don't you remember that? Plus,Father doesn't like magic. Even if he is a wizard himself.". He put the pictures back into his bag. " Do you like the person your father married?" Quote:

Lyra stopped abruptly and blushed, realizing that she had been rambling. She was sure Nathaniel, or Lasca or Mariel, for that matter, wasn't much interested. "That's really cool. I live right on the beach." he said smiling. He pushed his glasses up and added "We travel a lot. Mostly it's just my Father and myself. It's loads of fun and I get to do a bunch of things and learn about other cultures. I've learned a few different languages and what not. |
