Entering the shop called Ollivander’s was interesting. She wasn’t the only customer, there was another boy that looked afraid for his life. Instead of walking to him, she adventured deep in the store, confused why she was there for. She also realized she didn’t ask the stranger for his name, once again, and rubbed her forehead in frustration.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jgpOVtZgG
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDo9YLa9m
By the time she returned to the front desk, the other boy was gone. She was alone in the store and the man behind the front desk was watching her eagerly.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VPNzkWkRW
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQcRDE53Et
“Here for the first wand, I pressume?” He asked softly as to not scare her away.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbtLKj3QP0
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRXFPzQwR
Ophelia nodded and took a few steps towards him. She placed one gold coin on the table, amusing the man.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojMqlhAusJ
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJUHf3DNAm
“Right. Let’s see…”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOMQQEOksE
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubjIhwm4yv
Mr. Ollivander, as Ophelia found out was his name, gave her a big number of wands but none seemed to fit her. A lot of them were too squishy in her hand and some of them were getting stiff once she touched them. An hour and a half passed until Ollivander took a closer look at Ophelia’s eyes. He could remember every wand he sold but there were some specific children that he gave their wands to: Lillian Gaunt, for example. With that name in mind, Ollivander gave Ophelia an Alder wood, Phoenix feather core, 13 inches in length and very flexible.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAS456WynH
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eszc7i8Cw
Once Ophelia held it, she felt a special kind of butterflies in her stomach. Her eyes brightened as her fingers tingled and blue sparkles emanated from her wand.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmYyKlxltc
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3fFDC7Xrm
Ollivander smiled with melancholy, his eyes falling over the brunette witch.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiOCx3OJHh
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdMhv0R7Qh
“Phoenix feather cores come in pairs. I sold the other one a very long time ago to a little girl who was living with her cousin. That little girl had the brightest green eyes I have ever seen and the brightest red hair. Lillian was her name and I can only guess you are her daughter.” Ollivander explained, his eyes focused on the brunette witch.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp5N2lYYNi
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlwZgXg4RZ
She calmed down, the wand coming back to looking like a strange shaped stick.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijtOKGXRYt
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTmJ5XhnPb
“My mother died five years ago.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIbSstLVWk
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFWtLgfMnB
Ollivander’s expression fell into a look of sorrow, remembering just what else was there about Lillian. Ophelia didn’t look like she was aware of her family heritage or about the wizarding world in general.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4JMtuBFua
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3AWEJkwa2
“What was she? Was she a mud blood?” Ophelia asked innocently.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzlSoL0XLF
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa6v1fU1L8
Ollivander’s eyes widened, surprised that she used that word.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMbnS3DOIi
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE9Bl2PfBU
“No, no. Lillian was a pure blood but never once have I seen someone so humble.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjUUWg1GAi
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvyCyPYrpg
Ophelia smiled softly. It wasn’t every day that someone would speak about Lillian, not that many have met her. It actually made Ophelia wonder why she ended up in the orphanage when it was obvious her mother knew people from the wizarding community.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhou5Zkqev
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wQoXY8Kt5
That thought and the nice words Mr. Ollivander said about Lillian seemed to keep Ophelia so busy that she completely forgot where she was going. She blinked when she found herself in front of the same brown owl. This time, she entered and used the remaining coins in order to buy him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsylc5ttYU
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lmT5BWgkl
“Take it, take it! He’s been a curse from the moment his owner returned him!”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU1op0Ddxc
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUy5Gjzr8
With the eagerness in the owner’s eyes, Ophelia paid for the rest of the stuff and walked out. Surprisingly, the owl seemed very calm and content.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt74UPNMufN
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlquYWogFM
“What name should I give you?” She asked the beautiful brown owl. “Buffy? Blinky? Bert?” She asked more names but the owl was making a weird face at each of them. Ophelia laughed and stopped near a wall, waiting for her savior. “What about Willard?”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BmUrEcKm4
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxipIWyuMkQ
The brown owl blinked before tilting his head to the side. Ophelia smiled and rubbed his feathers through the cage. He didn’t move once and didn’t bite her, even though the shop owner was adamant that he was a violent owl.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng3rrcMjuS
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66VFxrwrk3
“Willard Willy. My new friend.” Ophelia said, laughing when the owl kicked her hand away from the cage.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y0SFgbyf6

“Talking to a bird now, aren’t we?”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7kQQoKeDn
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65qtNJsyjI
Ophelia looked up, surprised to see the same blond from before. He was holding onto a few books that looked heavier than him yet he was holding them easily. This time, next to him was a small creature with big green eyes that was carrying a pile of stuff bigger than him. Quite rudely, the blond dropped the heavy books into a medium sized cauldron, making the small creature almost fall on his bottom.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT7fkhXHns
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mvY3Rktzt
“Shouldn’t you be helping the little creature?” Ophelia asked naively.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV7cef17gS
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJygmyDmp2z
The blond scoffed, “Do you need help, Dobby?”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2mTod2Wtu
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tT6torgt8
“No sir! Young Master Malfoy should never carry anything. That is Dobby’s job, sir!” A squeaky voice was heard from behind the stack of books.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN7ieafeec
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33hbL4WyYV
“See?” The blond asked, turning towards Ophelia with an expectant look. “That is what house elves do but of course, you mud blood don’t know that either.” He sneered.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIA59ykzEa
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SBwkUyU4q
“That sounds like slavery to me. I read back in the orphanage about-“ Her eyes widened when she realized what she said. “I mean-“1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPG6x7hRgN
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy6amZvlgV
It was already too late. The blond already found out something new about her and it looked like he was the type of person to keep it for later, when he needed it.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklijdOJ0qW
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhIzwbasZ
“Anyway, my mother was a witch so I’m not a mud blood. I just found out that she was a pure blood, too.” Ophelia added quickly, getting on her feet and bloating with pride. “Who are you anyway? Always looking down on me when you have just met me.” 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaESISLq2It
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEtUxBSodK
“Maybe you should ask this mother of yours about the Malfoys. I’m sure she will tell you exactly what you need to know. Let’s go Dobby!” He said, throwing her a nasty look before walking away.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquwiksngsd
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmDbqjb39R
Ophelia watched the house elf barely walk with all the heavy stuff he was carrying yet he didn’t say a word, just followed his master.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VvFYYHyGZ
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQfYOZJHHM
When Tom found Ophelia, she was sulking with her back against the cold wall. He noticed the wand in her hand and the owl in the cage, watching him approach. Tom smirked when the brown owl backed away at the sight of his eyes.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOpTSOF5aU
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAAIWW1c41
Ophelia got back home a few minutes later, right in front of her house actually. She wanted to thank Tom but he vanished before she could say anything. Gloria Molley was more than shocked when her daughter entered the house after hours of being gone with an owl and a wand.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1QZlDA8yG
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7juGyd7kBh
The next morning, she sent Willy on his first errand with her reply to Hogwarts. When she walked downstairs for breakfast, she found the rest of the stuff she needed for Hogwarts, even robes.
That was how, on September 1st, Ophelia Molley arrived with her parents in King’s Cross station in London, searching for Platform 9 ¾.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwWSFFYGjY
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCjhEJ33ha
“Maybe we should ask the gentleman from the information stand.” Gloria mumbled to her husband, pointing at the officer.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwbHpFxvK
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4drX8LYBde
Ophelia sighed, disappointed that the mysterious stranger didn’t come to see her off. Willy squirmed in his cage and stared intensely at his owner. He made a few small noises before he started to jump. Once he grabbed Ophelia’s attention, he pointed with his beak at a certain wall. She glanced at the owl before placing the cage down and moving a bit so she could have a bigger picture of Platform 9 and Platform 10. Her eyes fell over the space between them and tilted her head to the side. Ophelia hummed before she grabbed her trunk and cage and walked in front of the wall between the platforms.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIvW8KySzP
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e8pqLMzqm
“Mum! Dad! I think you should keep close to me!” She yelled, grabbing their attention.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gyAHa2ydK
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTxWRCPOFK
Gloria and Richard glanced at each other in worry but followed her advice anyway. Ophelia closed her eyes and ran right through the wall, feeling a slight breeze before arriving on Platform 9 ¾.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5TgZVQ1t
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjHYG11iQZ
“Wow~”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9IaUUUIwE
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXWYnZivmn
It was amazing. There were more children, of different ages, than Ophelia imagined. Parents were hugging their children while some looked uncomfortable and only patted their backs. It was a whole new world, one that amazed the Molleys more than it amazed their daughter.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ca6HOXZqT
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw83y20cfmD
Richard helped Ophelia get her trunk on the train and slipped something in her hand. Ophelia raised an eyebrow when she saw a penknife.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJI7xwXONn
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaV2B0f0Ts
“Just to be safe. You never know what some of these people can do.” He whispered before kissing her cheek and letting Gloria say her farewells.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlB0KAa2JE
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvl2NM6YKj
“My dear daughter. Please, write to us as much as you want. I’ll keep the windows open for your owl.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZlXpe0O6L
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTcioWjZ75
That was very weird, especially when a lawyer said it with such a straight face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yaSves8yD
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZbM89tcYQ
“Ok. I’ll be fine. I’ll write as soon as possible, I promise.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5qRZaWb0a
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWgs4ls462
Gloria nodded and hugged her daughter one more time before they heard the train’s honk. Ophelia got on the train, holding Willy’s cage in one hand while the other grasped the handle of her trunk. She smiled and waved at her parents before the train started to move. Ophelia took a last long look at her parents before walking inside.
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistaWY3YOG
Searching for an empty compartment was proving to be difficult. She was a newcomer, a first year and friends were difficult to find and make. Ophelia wasn’t exactly a social butterfly and her friends have always depended on circumstances. Now, she was on foreign land and she had to step carefully or she’d get hurt.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYaG4Nr7AW
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVArREHcrq
She found one compartment in the very back that looked empty. When she entered, she noticed two other children. They stopped speaking when they saw her which made her feel unwanted.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWA409pQTN
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhmtnUFnYH
“Maybe I should look for another compartment…” Ophelia mumbled, her eyes moving from the redhead girl to the greasy haired boy.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBENZiapmu
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u7hYOofIM
“No! No! Please, take a seat! I’m Lily and this is Severus. We’re also first years!” The redhead exclaimed, smiling brightly.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4ocytWNx
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT80Bzz46A
Looking at Severus, Ophelia knew she interfered with their personal space. She grasped Willy’s cage but Lily’s bright eyes made her feel bad. In the end, Ophelia placed her luggage aside and sat on one side while Lily and Severus sat on the other side. When Lily chose to change seats and come next to Ophelia, she swore she saw the greasy haired boy narrow his eyes at her.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡensmNTJlg5
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eQtm2YU7V
“I’m Ophelia. I’m new to this whole wizarding world. I never knew I was a witch even if stuff happened to me.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQw9RXiIcb
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqkcadeAGd
Severus scoffed, “Are your parents muggles, then?”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlsBzmaO03
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QgR29My1h
Lily threw a look at him which made him remember her parents were actually muggles, making him look down at his hands.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ686prK8rTR
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukm7ZTQFs5
“No. My birth mother was a witch but I don’t know anything about my father. I don’t think I ever met him.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7hSMY4MU
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LV2KvB7cx
“That means you’re a half blood, like Sev. My parents are muggles. They were very surprised when I received my Hogwarts letter.” Lily chuckled, remembering that moment.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsOYDH4nSN
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD14fiTkb5r
“Why is blood rank so important to wizards?” Ophelia asked, genuinely confused.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58vHfppNBr
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsHKpBOgTI
“Haven’t you read anything at all? Blood status is a concept in the wizarding world that distinguishes between family trees that have different levels of magically-endowed members. It often results in prejudice towards those who have a large number of Muggles in their families. It is very important.” Severus answered, scowling at Ophelia’s ignorance.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0BzDOI2eW
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUMgsP8XLp
"Well, I did read about Hogwarts a bit. I know there are four houses and my parents seemed to enjoy the thought that I could be in Ravenclaw."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PEYeT8R4J
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA7S71jwik
"That doesn't depend on you, it depends on the Sorting Ceremony. You'll get sorted based on your skills and values." Severus added, scowling continuously at the new acquaintance.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCbKMNWvcv
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLkLX0sSd
Ophelia didn’t seem to mind this peculiar boy with greasy black hair and eyes that knew nothing but to look down upon anyone that wasn’t a friend. Severus wasn’t like the boys in Bread of Life Orphanage, witty and always looking for trouble but he wasn’t like the boys in her neighborhood either, always classy and neat with answers by the book.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgeOuSOWRu
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJCWkgVz1e
On the other hand, Lily looked a lot like Lillian, though it was probably only because she was a ginger with green eyes. The difference was probably the glint and the atmosphere, in which Lily was just a child while Lillian was a grown up adult with a lot of pressure.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdSrc1PpBw
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHcae82K8b
"What house do you suppose you'll get sorted in?" Lily asked Ophelia, eyes twinkling.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVzkTeE3BS
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYD1paXYKz
"I don't know. I don’t care that much as long as I can learn magic.” She responded bluntly.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqFCgHZtpc
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlCtgXd4Pt
Severus raised an eyebrow and leaned on his knees, his dark eyes staring at Ophelia’s elongated green orbs.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhcVi2TYWH
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjeJFdNZF
“Slytherin is the best house. A Slytherin is always fearless and smart. I, personally, prefer it before any other house.” Severus said, bloating when he mentioned himself.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqr7fdwUdz
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9sWo4cyt5
“Gryffindor would be a good choice too, don't you think?" Lily asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tKjd8c4gd
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgEEhQTDD4
Ophelia noticed the sneer on Snape's face at the mention of Gryffindor but didn't say anything.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4IozBvZ9y
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFjxJk2A6u
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHA1fUOLU
For the rest of the ride to Hogwarts, Severus continued speaking about Hogwarts and everything he has found out about magic. Ophelia was intrigued by the number of spells he knew already and the way he would look when performing them. Watching him was just like watching the pale stranger.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDDE681QFL
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRerl0m9DuV
“So, tell me again, how do we make things fly?” She asked, sitting so close to Severus that the boy felt like she was ready to enter his mind.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV1i0ImDnI
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU6pouW2GB
“It’s levitation not flying. You do it like this.” He said, waving his wand in a certain way before Willy’s cage started to fly.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rDKEAOrdF
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhk9ZFT6F7
The owl didn’t even stir. Severus levitated the cage down on the seat and Lily walked towards it, watching the owl with curiosity.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6BFLEWP08
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM07d0sKx4
“I wouldn’t get too close to him. He might bite.” Ophelia advised the ginger, knowing that was exactly what happened when Richard tried to pat him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR7lcncVv5
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNjlFIBxRZ
Lily did listen to Ophelia and didn’t touch the cage but even so, she couldn’t help feel like that owl was trying to see into her soul.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i4MxzEj3N
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3zo0ebX8p
“Do you want me to show you something that can really help you?” Severus asked, seeing how Ophelia’s just started the levitation charm and did it very well from the first try.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1ztS0Yy3P
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy7Q3qB9M3
Ophelia nodded, eyes sparkling with excitement. Severus smirked and turned to Willy. The owl tilted his head to the side, looking at the boy as if he was taunting him to dare and curse him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ygqznknca
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdePGts3UA
“Petrificus Totalus.” He whispered, pointing his wand at the owl.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONfUY0Gfh
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7jYT7h3o8
Ophelia’s eyes widened while Lily hit Severus indignantly. She could hear the two friends bickering behind as the brunette walked to her owl and checked if he was alive. He was, but he looked like a statue, unable to even blink.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCAVtgOMf8
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3YPgcVHz6
“Look what you have done, Sev. What if he won’t return to normal?” Lily asked her friend, troubled.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDCifrJxYN
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7UAZEbFKm
“I can just use a counter-curse and it will be fine. I know what I’m doing Lily.” He whispered back.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf42AlQpzee
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w0ghl5Jtm
The two glanced at Ophelia and saw her stare with a poker face at her pet.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJQvFxZ5rl
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENz7BqZRk
On the other hand, Ophelia’s mind was swirling with thoughts about curses. The pale boy knew so much already and he seemed so sure of what he knew and what he was doing that it amazed her. She reached inside the cage in order to touch Willy when something blue came out of her finger and went straight into her owl. The pet blinked a few times before he glared at Severus but the greasy haired boy was staring warily at Ophelia.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWAesU9Bp4
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkX8CvTZvK
“How did you do that?” He asked, getting up and hovering over her. “You didn’t even touch him and definitely didn’t use a wand so how did you lift the curse?”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjHZ2V9jLr
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpNZRm3M4k
Ophelia raised an eyebrow and glanced at him before her eyes fell on Lily. She looked just as surprised as Severus but didn’t seem as angry about it as him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRstGIjYYTE
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mS1OwiNkD
“Can’t you do it too? You know, using magic without a wand.”1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflTLF4FyzT
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SXggl0io
Severus looked at her closely before sitting down, puffing his cheeks in annoyance.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lq7Cdj5Km
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs754Hrw5J
“It’s possible but only if you reach a certain level. We’re still young so I doubt any of us can control magic without a wand.” He explained.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbgGYHx7Z
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ayQRcWhQ
With that established, Ophelia kept her hands on her lap at all times and placed Willy’s cage next to her trunk, just to be safe. Severus didn’t say anything anymore and Lily took it as a sign to speak about normal, muggle stuff. Ophelia fell into that immediately and listened to the ginger while one greasy haired boy was glowering at her for having Lily’s entire attention.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAb7tj0WDb
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtoDKikoi4
“So your sister isn’t a witch?” Ophelia asked when Lily dived into her family situation.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsHJECRA9b
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzubOUSaxOo
“She’s not. Severus was the first person I met that was like me.” She admitted, smiling at the greasy haired boy.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QnHysfkkz
1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zsx75fL63
Ophelia raised an eyebrow and leaned back, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Watching the two interact was like watching a ragged dog watching a butterfly fly around his head; it was both interesting and pitying.
