Ater smiled a dazzling smile at the girl’s eagerness to use his shoulder as a pillow, he didn’t know why but it made him feel… happy. The boy listened as she explained what a recorder was, he thought about it for a while and asked “it is like a flute then, correct?” at least it sounded similar to it. He then chuckled amusedly as the girl began a tirade about Ravenclaw only to then stop and force herself to speak of the other houses as well. He listened carefully and frowned slightly “What happens then if you have more than one characteristic? From what you said I could go to any of the houses then… how do I know which one is mine?” he asked wondering where he would belong. But his worry melted and the girl smiled at him with happiness, she then yawned and placed her head on his shoulder, his stomach immediately felt like it was knotted, it was a very strange feeling, one he didn’t want to dissect now, so he filed it for further analysis and reached with his right hand to tuck his coat better around Cassie.
Agatha watched Cassie and Ater talk and smiled to herself, they looked nice together, for some reason, seeing the two together made her feel happy and proud. She looked at Maddie and the girls shared a knowing look between them.
