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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SaoNtSFhd
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRDMy4gu2u
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO37eZ2Djy
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMUmX6TsOy
“Here for the first wand, I pressume?” He asked softly as to not scare her away.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqBd44jG9T
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHk0oqRcPA
Ophelia nodded and took a few steps towards him. She placed one gold coin on the table, amusing the man.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmGp5wGq2s
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wnM2OBUG8
“Right. Let’s see…”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAT4zbv7Uv
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwwYZuqEQe
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpin7hr7Pwg
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT86rEKxag
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gx6OSEgWM
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkydNDtdH9
Ollivander smiled with melancholy, his eyes falling over the brunette witch.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFFKW3CQ1m
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5qOGaNCve
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC5O1hWMnj
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvHQIpLaRn
She calmed down, the wand coming back to looking like a strange shaped stick.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxJmMx54Sa
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR8mICztNY
“My mother died five years ago.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEvyyLB0TU
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6stsiJz5jP
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb27pSsQny
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o9p18UdOq
“What was she? Was she a mud blood?” Ophelia asked innocently.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBsMD3PPAD
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI58JKDI2b1
Ollivander’s eyes widened, surprised that she used that word.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISP2LuRxYF
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M5IyoAOx7
“No, no. Lillian was a pure blood but never once have I seen someone so humble.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ZCc4m41E
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMywKeUiQd
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ogw5wBwxj
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjxhmEY6JK
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UdNT2Tz2w
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLB4jSgqtY
“Take it, take it! He’s been a curse from the moment his owner returned him!”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsutHcbJCX
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdfBcCoxrV
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAjOpLwMHh
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1qFGMX35R
“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?”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kIxBxN01
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuclTqpAmYu
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU85yprQEC
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZprN70CKeT
“Willard Willy. My new friend.” Ophelia said, laughing when the owl kicked her hand away from the cage.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kSeFvrVJs
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZJMFCEhFD
“Talking to a bird now, aren’t we?”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVo8jncfH
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs1nB2y0oz
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zpmxk2vj2
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqzkX0kvmH
“Shouldn’t you be helping the little creature?” Ophelia asked naively.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YVAbLF59O
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQyq36KKQF
The blond scoffed, “Do you need help, Dobby?”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZEpojTJ2
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbltkjQ4R8d
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo03Nw3LqGu
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbmZi4cQFy
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqsuK17aNs
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IGy66CqXT
“That sounds like slavery to me. I read back in the orphanage about-“ Her eyes widened when she realized what she said. “I mean-“1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyYFL23vHR
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBM4ZzQjWt
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTExuVUAaVI
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kC9Wapjt2
“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.” 1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7uKzv8c9
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy96ggtpDfY
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEuDLH5zxS
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GOCvFFgxU
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6oA89q9VH
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEuuYqMaY0
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTsyDoasTB
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqdEMSIX84
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5q9OjkB4s
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYTCnINgwx
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 ¾.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusnMCYVKx3
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DIJoqt8v
“Maybe we should ask the gentleman from the information stand.” Gloria mumbled to her husband, pointing at the officer.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxVTtsl7fc
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFbc4Kf6Gl
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZL1xVtKN
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv0IEs5BzT
“Mum! Dad! I think you should keep close to me!” She yelled, grabbing their attention.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Spel2MbZk
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZJ4Zndd2C
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 ¾.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wn3DYJtZA
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rzW56uu61
“Wow~”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjaTUxipI
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceXsu8hcpb
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlj5rdQvee
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SxwCKGIDL
Richard helped Ophelia get her trunk on the train and slipped something in her hand. Ophelia raised an eyebrow when she saw a penknife.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIbf1gZmuW
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QZIoUgEj
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYXaWz1uaB
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2S0CYaCPY
“My dear daughter. Please, write to us as much as you want. I’ll keep the windows open for your owl.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFKXYiiWKt
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Vdryc9Fa
That was very weird, especially when a lawyer said it with such a straight face.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhyd4J7bf5
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKx6mZLM8a
“Ok. I’ll be fine. I’ll write as soon as possible, I promise.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K2zNLEejJ
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zWd2tKIgS
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.
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjhCRcJGXo
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32vdaGzU6g
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf1NHTJpj3
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JL5vP9gmL
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cv5yAKNWN
“Maybe I should look for another compartment…” Ophelia mumbled, her eyes moving from the redhead girl to the greasy haired boy.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuOOCTDwP1
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLfYNaOQc
“No! No! Please, take a seat! I’m Lily and this is Severus. We’re also first years!” The redhead exclaimed, smiling brightly.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxmqLb8JNZ
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve74ejqcZL
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bWkpMBJxC
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiZM6WXdO1
“I’m Ophelia. I’m new to this whole wizarding world. I never knew I was a witch even if stuff happened to me.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi49lLRDSa
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf500fBMoSw
Severus scoffed, “Are your parents muggles, then?”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KXCvFjIxL
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXszgm3Ejh
Lily threw a look at him which made him remember her parents were actually muggles, making him look down at his hands.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiqCEK6HwX
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwOFu2EA3K
“No. My birth mother was a witch but I don’t know anything about my father. I don’t think I ever met him.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofNEEsgU1e
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BshjQ4fLt
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRahT3IKZR
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n4h3cLRMo
“Why is blood rank so important to wizards?” Ophelia asked, genuinely confused.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZPUjBCWpc
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAS6gNlkjd
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbeJs2P0zY
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMM5mP5yGW
"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."1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkksUdhBNn
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXOQP18dYR
"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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz6pap3AV8
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo8Jusnxmx
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYjH8GZ6tm
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrtXoL458t
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wGOh49PNh
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJAYU2Blsf
"What house do you suppose you'll get sorted in?" Lily asked Ophelia, eyes twinkling.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb63DRqxs7y
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qL9V3QO0A
"I don't know. I don’t care that much as long as I can learn magic.” She responded bluntly.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeRwu4tj9S
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOq3amtreZ
Severus raised an eyebrow and leaned on his knees, his dark eyes staring at Ophelia’s elongated green orbs.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4aGYOp2Js
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgWgbpMXG3
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXWqCGW1px
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZPqHu0bul
“Gryffindor would be a good choice too, don't you think?" Lily asked.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgxIbTfQeO
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLuzmqxop7
Ophelia noticed the sneer on Snape's face at the mention of Gryffindor but didn't say anything.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgzPHaeSw3
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfIbrA12N
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqVkr6Aquc
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoq8FjEsTA
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTvpFcK7z5
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEmMmtkKX9
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSOFnT7Fdg
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7HJcqb1Ul
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc6TxNX2EF
The owl didn’t even stir. Severus levitated the cage down on the seat and Lily walked towards it, watching the owl with curiosity.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKluKdVIfJ
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fmjDmI285
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILFKPwhsY
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Q31M3iVA
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj22UyPMeZ
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtfyGk1Sem
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx8PdZsjLU
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUrdfmtjb5
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6WXY72xpS
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59GeK587vl
“Petrificus Totalus.” He whispered, pointing his wand at the owl.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnZLmRCm7i
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw5n3cdsPm
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FW0Jli3ty
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPmgGnPLqi
“Look what you have done, Sev. What if he won’t return to normal?” Lily asked her friend, troubled.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPak4oD3bZK
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCSLqYnnpx
“I can just use a counter-curse and it will be fine. I know what I’m doing Lily.” He whispered back.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpDd9tjGqX
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TwzD7fFJm
The two glanced at Ophelia and saw her stare with a poker face at her pet.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NJCoxsbaX
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid76B3OgcZ
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ86bNWTcbv
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfND9kHr0m
“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?”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7cWIEN4Wa
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUUyXPvCps
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYjjSraV4h
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD38m3PHf4r
“Can’t you do it too? You know, using magic without a wand.”1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv9uq2Qlcy
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnwBQnHFxj
Severus looked at her closely before sitting down, puffing his cheeks in annoyance.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxFBAvkbxh
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBA4zBls4i
“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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb6Pz9yc6b
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgIcwWDH1C
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.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZjMM64VZJ
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ0skDIjLi
“So your sister isn’t a witch?” Ophelia asked when Lily dived into her family situation.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjTWRAQFL
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tlo0MadTM
“She’s not. Severus was the first person I met that was like me.” She admitted, smiling at the greasy haired boy.1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU1UR5y8EM
1086Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNgQnx9xGJ
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.
