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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUIzddtrNR
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xr8vwezqK
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OJsGENy0P
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNhCYN3eg1
“Here for the first wand, I pressume?” He asked softly as to not scare her away.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVhmfS9jaD
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHp6VqrTDc
Ophelia nodded and took a few steps towards him. She placed one gold coin on the table, amusing the man.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgC7tsHx3b
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq647QX3XH
“Right. Let’s see…”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9KHyPnDP6
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwanQ3Ty2oL
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3txXfhlv
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl71cRlbWQN
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66T6ukzPU
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5aQJv89Cv
Ollivander smiled with melancholy, his eyes falling over the brunette witch.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XhZB794yS
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPS2JMUuiD
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX6PidpFVz
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEReluiOmeV
She calmed down, the wand coming back to looking like a strange shaped stick.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgUyF2RSMl
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ6V4cDsmi
“My mother died five years ago.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshdyLFGiIu
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ978lmxWdNX
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVLt2JWN1K
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmtrLmbMMi
“What was she? Was she a mud blood?” Ophelia asked innocently.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzatMtMsXR
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6PGIdB1UB
Ollivander’s eyes widened, surprised that she used that word.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I9jOOF0dT
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpEJ4f8Pwf
“No, no. Lillian was a pure blood but never once have I seen someone so humble.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlfJiG3ELv
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYh4zqRmz
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MYAQe4bN
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftvAcyeOvy
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsRzv1AOrq
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytvLvwPykk
“Take it, take it! He’s been a curse from the moment his owner returned him!”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcsNeNWbhP
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgYe4HhWj4
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARfZb6xCHZ
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVJ9V0GXgu
“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?”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVEmmMjPjQ
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEor3If0EQ
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zsdx3fbSR
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCmuDO5iWD
“Willard Willy. My new friend.” Ophelia said, laughing when the owl kicked her hand away from the cage.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0qruf1Ge4
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ9PsQB5E9
“Talking to a bird now, aren’t we?”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClla6APGuc
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DkkOQUn16
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkZ9zgXse7
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zWx7ofjKC
“Shouldn’t you be helping the little creature?” Ophelia asked naively.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0CqVZH7Ah
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIIcYI7s0a
The blond scoffed, “Do you need help, Dobby?”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn54oD4wb8y
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4i59mBTMF
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8BlbJ3Yn0
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWq6GhSPhu
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAzG9Xw04R
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn9eZ4x4CU
“That sounds like slavery to me. I read back in the orphanage about-“ Her eyes widened when she realized what she said. “I mean-“1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4a6QkewtE
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06nyOedik0
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHliSIrntrW
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF2VFvfhUV
“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.” 1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3QpLM2s0
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbrI3bsl0u
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVA0KyuvvQ
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9cKexHNF
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh3raJq9RF
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSE6OHk81a
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Am28Wrj0F
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qfXG4EaMn
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm1ofCsLCg
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDg4nHjpS5
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 ¾.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BGw7MKrIn
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJqujvfmha
“Maybe we should ask the gentleman from the information stand.” Gloria mumbled to her husband, pointing at the officer.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy60bHm0jq
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsKkv6jSww
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmomUIRcc
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62TliJ2Q9R
“Mum! Dad! I think you should keep close to me!” She yelled, grabbing their attention.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJqhf5MSGw
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroRalmu7VD
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 ¾.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCvWPoR5TY
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzb8gcf8am
“Wow~”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14nzParvUZ
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QN7aMsd0v
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdkWf1lyAK
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlcXDGlPvL
Richard helped Ophelia get her trunk on the train and slipped something in her hand. Ophelia raised an eyebrow when she saw a penknife.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgISztW06zG
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHly8cpyvdn
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IdzxQM6ZO
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOU1bF0yD
“My dear daughter. Please, write to us as much as you want. I’ll keep the windows open for your owl.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Oqx18wv1
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrppquhmG9
That was very weird, especially when a lawyer said it with such a straight face.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi4zqxXSLI
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKXQxqZXqu
“Ok. I’ll be fine. I’ll write as soon as possible, I promise.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZuGjraihB
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALTeax2eQW
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.
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfasO9Hk7O
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39pCd6CGZL
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWWYsg6IXE
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTxvp0hAd7
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGz4HOTOsR
“Maybe I should look for another compartment…” Ophelia mumbled, her eyes moving from the redhead girl to the greasy haired boy.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfveOlbRBU
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVaXnRo2CA
“No! No! Please, take a seat! I’m Lily and this is Severus. We’re also first years!” The redhead exclaimed, smiling brightly.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr3Y3YdCab
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL80OJnxBbs
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rc7cclU2q
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIlf1sGPc3
“I’m Ophelia. I’m new to this whole wizarding world. I never knew I was a witch even if stuff happened to me.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWXxJ2q020
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvneTlhnfml
Severus scoffed, “Are your parents muggles, then?”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvcYIuMxJX
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcabRK2p5O8
Lily threw a look at him which made him remember her parents were actually muggles, making him look down at his hands.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4AjdTNQp7
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FyhoqHwFT
“No. My birth mother was a witch but I don’t know anything about my father. I don’t think I ever met him.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU5z0VTuZ5
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb7Ql9k47w
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcmNGpUFuP
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4SL6zVooo
“Why is blood rank so important to wizards?” Ophelia asked, genuinely confused.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasum5mB51
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRPUNzJAV8
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv2YCj4K17
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvSzIAFbqf
"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."1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe0OqpXNkp
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yS4AciRls
"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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3o01YVREF
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiILUOShj0z
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWprWOUkraY
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm9pNd7qeB
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QiE0tgWET
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwXeNafZS
"What house do you suppose you'll get sorted in?" Lily asked Ophelia, eyes twinkling.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSPnvT9Rcy
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7cE1Vuicu
"I don't know. I don’t care that much as long as I can learn magic.” She responded bluntly.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnAitiN2Ga
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE39XkWTqx
Severus raised an eyebrow and leaned on his knees, his dark eyes staring at Ophelia’s elongated green orbs.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCJW5Kujm6
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2vF6ld39f
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiR3r7r3Ay
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV17Lhaeqs
“Gryffindor would be a good choice too, don't you think?" Lily asked.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uyc5WeQHl
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPaOvUSTvb
Ophelia noticed the sneer on Snape's face at the mention of Gryffindor but didn't say anything.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IoIIL0nyy
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqPqqOXs8P
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGy7QquGCL
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffNBo10vgG
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy1f44lA0W
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzbJrkvLNZ
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu86Vgf2dVq
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHjdZxqOQs
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmg7hoK5KO
The owl didn’t even stir. Severus levitated the cage down on the seat and Lily walked towards it, watching the owl with curiosity.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfdrhlebm4
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ3QyxcyBh
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nEhmwwOKW
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEiAWTNAtD
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV93mrV4DlK
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz76bKHBSm
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFto0iXSel9
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CaViOKeML
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9PjI9nSE3
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HnOOydnMk
“Petrificus Totalus.” He whispered, pointing his wand at the owl.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQ24eThlk
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiizr1yxk6
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFizE67t1sd
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoPldxeA6x
“Look what you have done, Sev. What if he won’t return to normal?” Lily asked her friend, troubled.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufk0rdc9hI
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpS8t8cU6d
“I can just use a counter-curse and it will be fine. I know what I’m doing Lily.” He whispered back.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnHpq3t82N
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetesVOGjra
The two glanced at Ophelia and saw her stare with a poker face at her pet.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKigRuTmws0
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY4Pz3xyqP
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QrghVDBgK
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN34qZwTu82
“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?”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP1ULO5gko
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaXWUJysxL
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoJlYd3FQP
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwQMXMyTU4
“Can’t you do it too? You know, using magic without a wand.”1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMohMqFuAF
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYrc3qJOJ
Severus looked at her closely before sitting down, puffing his cheeks in annoyance.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV9j0XwPbi
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3lJof2iEr
“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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIhW2vlOKQ
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gtFOXeIGF
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.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQAXxMSIAk
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI6GozmIFp
“So your sister isn’t a witch?” Ophelia asked when Lily dived into her family situation.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF4PsYR5pL
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4I2RJqej7
“She’s not. Severus was the first person I met that was like me.” She admitted, smiling at the greasy haired boy.1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr5zzYvnyC
1081Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEygzc2Sa3Z
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.
