I hope there'll be meat maybe fish!''
"'S long as it's all dead when it's on my plate," Arrick interjected sulkily. Who knows, with all this magic make steaks would
tap-dance--he mentally shuddered--or worse, they might be magicked out of something like sawdust.

'' Well...'' now the one who looked suspicous was Josh, but he smiled at the boy anyway ''Just because it is what they are called, mate'' he replied ''Muggles and my father's one'' he raised his eyebrows at the red-head's words. He was kinda weird. ''What do you mean not knowing your real parents?'' he asked though he knew it was a stupid question. He liked asking stupid things anyway. After taking another bite from his cake he started to watch the other people approaching the trolley
"I was adopted," Arrick clarified, taking a vicious bite from his pastry. Now that he had started eating, he realized how hungry he'd gotten. "I was real little. Dunno why."
Maybe they knew I was going to be odd. But that doesn't make sense if they were odd too? He mused to himself.
Normally it bothered him a lot more to admit to being adopted, but in the light of being surrounded by weirdness, not having proper parents seemed to rank at the bottom of 'things that got you teased at school'.
