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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNpmTysMcg
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAPBKe9OP6
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW426dyQXRV
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI0V8H1wB3
“Here for the first wand, I pressume?” He asked softly as to not scare her away.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5nLRmp5ED
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsv1MnjQSm
Ophelia nodded and took a few steps towards him. She placed one gold coin on the table, amusing the man.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTm2umXCQb
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIj2oAgZSl
“Right. Let’s see…”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9p934ZjKv
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl19ndpu3GF
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7FrcXPjT
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3WxHxAtJb
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvx5vGFvsy
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MY5lcnJQs
Ollivander smiled with melancholy, his eyes falling over the brunette witch.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡror1c0zdoC
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKmtrSPkK
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK96iGiCbrd
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGTUFHRoUO
She calmed down, the wand coming back to looking like a strange shaped stick.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZxS9n0U39
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT6KObqxeR
“My mother died five years ago.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ1dl2LqLL
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx8gqUqSFQ
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiosXNC1qDh
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDnT4fjT3
“What was she? Was she a mud blood?” Ophelia asked innocently.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapdYTaNPJV
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEVXGu7kue
Ollivander’s eyes widened, surprised that she used that word.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7og9bMDqqY
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsXV24pOzb
“No, no. Lillian was a pure blood but never once have I seen someone so humble.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwPiO1qr9a
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtB7jxmhDC
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsU0cWRvIX
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OGOuu8Ext
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslNYvZEgvt
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7htnt6ZaFa
“Take it, take it! He’s been a curse from the moment his owner returned him!”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoJqy1X5yf
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kXbf7Gmu3
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4tvmh1SQ
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BvoLETsOk
“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?”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2XYLVZac7
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe7PnZMcUl
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR1Cz0cNtI
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2pedpJbrV
“Willard Willy. My new friend.” Ophelia said, laughing when the owl kicked her hand away from the cage.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHqdVW0hYC
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABpvDaIbnO
“Talking to a bird now, aren’t we?”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkJqpITE26
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ18xeNhkG
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTJb2HnVbf
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRf9asLUlI
“Shouldn’t you be helping the little creature?” Ophelia asked naively.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbcvfR7w7L
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G6BG1H2sD
The blond scoffed, “Do you need help, Dobby?”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgPCC3SQ9D
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqksESAbfKY
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86eaIHUX3Q
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ3aFkHyQU
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IFhFA1CU0
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnowX6RD9Y
“That sounds like slavery to me. I read back in the orphanage about-“ Her eyes widened when she realized what she said. “I mean-“1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V30xliNJI
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9JHDkDOhK
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIeHSEypBY
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtEGp23x9x
“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.” 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsqcLVxduk
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dj8NQjWIW
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOVcdFKDdH
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwodyfi7w9
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc7V170GPj
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqw0tRMFsW
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjmHy9wglC
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvpdEZ2f3Y
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBPQGvFCpd
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv2qVEaxuY
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 ¾.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOJEyrnb9S
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1ondlOQkN
“Maybe we should ask the gentleman from the information stand.” Gloria mumbled to her husband, pointing at the officer.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpdp8iOW7Y
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksJc26vul
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjcYwIMrb
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX0mgH4jX6
“Mum! Dad! I think you should keep close to me!” She yelled, grabbing their attention.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Enj3WMvRU
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwy0oQovWM
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 ¾.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3029cSK5fO
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo64hUkw2Ly
“Wow~”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6cj5rr0d
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb06Ti0A0R
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaNdBQqHrW
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY4hSTlybm
Richard helped Ophelia get her trunk on the train and slipped something in her hand. Ophelia raised an eyebrow when she saw a penknife.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77OnRC6sDT
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnaVZHVMUO
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HpugVED4
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXclnQxrID
“My dear daughter. Please, write to us as much as you want. I’ll keep the windows open for your owl.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkc60DzVyR
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UxUbCGdWl
That was very weird, especially when a lawyer said it with such a straight face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIGGKprkvP
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy07aoT58RY
“Ok. I’ll be fine. I’ll write as soon as possible, I promise.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUZwb1yPuZ
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtpbbjXHSq
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.
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav7u1xZFFL
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudJEgQIrWJ
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPiOo9ekRo
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx74dwJy6pu
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmeexzAbCp
“Maybe I should look for another compartment…” Ophelia mumbled, her eyes moving from the redhead girl to the greasy haired boy.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqAsX7G9BV
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA3wk3aXj7
“No! No! Please, take a seat! I’m Lily and this is Severus. We’re also first years!” The redhead exclaimed, smiling brightly.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QqfReSRhD
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWpDNOzPBQ
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzMqbADWUz
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhElF9ZiXKL
“I’m Ophelia. I’m new to this whole wizarding world. I never knew I was a witch even if stuff happened to me.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHOWDuCSqb
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvBViCEmC7
Severus scoffed, “Are your parents muggles, then?”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk4bp2bau8
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3axWaxns4L
Lily threw a look at him which made him remember her parents were actually muggles, making him look down at his hands.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF3TGSb714
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15sP7rwPrN
“No. My birth mother was a witch but I don’t know anything about my father. I don’t think I ever met him.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajScsCukNw
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKJxazBPed
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfdkSvyL9j
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuON4QsNYRI
“Why is blood rank so important to wizards?” Ophelia asked, genuinely confused.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVYosBSYKT
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VRQ1OG645
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeh7T2vCjf
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWMGig6rTZ
"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDdR5NEZyc
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1qzDSO7o5
"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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3wD7bk6BX
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RAcKGFAEb
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LJ2C131IM
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnHeZS4AUH
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9yxZ2vCif
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPpPSWUdwR
"What house do you suppose you'll get sorted in?" Lily asked Ophelia, eyes twinkling.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCMJGKlhfs
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD84WMNsaK
"I don't know. I don’t care that much as long as I can learn magic.” She responded bluntly.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpjfD5dJDX
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIXbWy2I9y
Severus raised an eyebrow and leaned on his knees, his dark eyes staring at Ophelia’s elongated green orbs.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xuHAbk3QO
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgDWQsHltU
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZ3o7uvQO
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeWaXRR2tv
“Gryffindor would be a good choice too, don't you think?" Lily asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH2xENT6RL
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIGLdsorDJ
Ophelia noticed the sneer on Snape's face at the mention of Gryffindor but didn't say anything.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ9ApfOw9Q
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwGCIfGG11
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI2gs9bHgl
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUwCbwbUE7
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhE90GrNOc
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBIa29QEQZ
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGpXnZpNGg
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHctTGPSO9v
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIXmf3ayW4
The owl didn’t even stir. Severus levitated the cage down on the seat and Lily walked towards it, watching the owl with curiosity.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXbyrNDgc
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S1yZPicyb
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZri0Blbwl
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gg6lySxXG
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7lZUUzzPl
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzcEWbWeRi
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbLyqamScG
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaOq5q5d19
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JEqqsEQ3k
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCv416qBor
“Petrificus Totalus.” He whispered, pointing his wand at the owl.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC5OG17v5g
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gFu9ffeN8
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsWQcEUQW
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9I2VKFjMK
“Look what you have done, Sev. What if he won’t return to normal?” Lily asked her friend, troubled.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqPjQU1qx
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s3HqcBcIW
“I can just use a counter-curse and it will be fine. I know what I’m doing Lily.” He whispered back.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgPchgMrOY
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzQmtwRRiR
The two glanced at Ophelia and saw her stare with a poker face at her pet.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpzYPLx4pu
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmFwmT0iRu
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrLm88yWC3
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIteYzUSI8i
“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?”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJh0PPSuOV
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj61EabH05
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudbhXP2DF
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BvEX16Pj1
“Can’t you do it too? You know, using magic without a wand.”1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy73sa20bKZ
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUMQJYwDrf
Severus looked at her closely before sitting down, puffing his cheeks in annoyance.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgh83o8yrW
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCPFOAG9hq
“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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vxOcWKG1F
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI3o3zMPEt
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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ydwB79zPN
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVGlmDWhfA
“So your sister isn’t a witch?” Ophelia asked when Lily dived into her family situation.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOtpapW7xE
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdK4LJTodv
“She’s not. Severus was the first person I met that was like me.” She admitted, smiling at the greasy haired boy.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoNd5ULUfH
1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFB5BqDZl
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.
