Real sister, she meant, not like Jaymie. "And my aunt. Because, she raised me for two years, before my sister and I were adopted. She would've liked to keep us, she loves us...but my aunt is not the most..." How to phrase it? "...um...organized?" No, that wasn't right. "Well, she's a little, scatterbrained. She's a journalist, and she's not patient enough to stay in one place for more that two weeks at a time." She thought that Nulu was going to say something more, and when she didn't, Isobel was confused. She wouldn't ask now, maybe after she got to know her more.
Isobel grimaced. "That's horrible; it sounds really painful." Isobel had never broken a bone, and she hoped she never would. "The next game is Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw, it's soon I think. We should go together and cheer on whichever team we choose." Yep, that sounded fun. She listened curiously to what Nulu said. "Really? If it worked, that might be good for me. I should try it sometime." Hmmmm. "Last year, at Beaubaxtons, I missed the last game because I fainted out of the trauma of knowing I had to be high in the air." Was trauma the right word to use there? Isobel didn't know, but she didn't really care.
Nulu smiled at Isobel it was good to know people who understood you, and better yet who would talk with you. The muggles could be cruel; they disapproved of the people who were different. Anyone showing some kind of drastic change affected them, and they responded by classifying them and making sure that they felt uncomfortable for the rest of their life’s. In Hogwarts Nulu felt safe, she felt as if people here would take the time to get to know her. Her smile did not disappear. “Mommy is that way as well. She was so disorganized, but when it came to her project, inventions she was the smartest most organized, and even lost her clumsiness.” She told her with a grin as she remember her mother not knowing where she had left the remote, but the smallest part of her inventions she knew where it was. “If omma’s head was not attached to her body she would lose it.” She told her with a giggle. As she heard what Isobel said she laughed and then blushed turning a bright red. “Mommy is the same; she is having a hard time staying in the states in one place for so long. I was called last year to go and find her since she was going to attempt to go to Africa to do another project. She has three guards and she is not allowed to be alone in the bathroom because she has attempted to escape through the window,” her smile widened and she got energy. “Someone looking at omma would not say that she has cancer, but she is extremely energetic sometimes I wonder if she has ADD or something.” She told her.
She nodded. “It was, I sometimes wake up with pain on my ribs.” She lifted up her shirt and showed her where the ribs had been broken. She had a permanent bruise. “Sometimes I think that I broke them again,” she then noticed that boys where in the room and she blushed and quickly put her shirt back down. She had been wearing a tank top, but still Nulu had a lot to learn about proper manners. “Gryffindor?” she asked and her mind went back to Josh. She wasn’t sure if he was on the team or if he was going to be there. Her heart skiped a beat and she took in a deep breath. When she heard Isobel say that they should go and cheer on a team she bit her lip. “Josh will probably be there.” She whispered. She then quickly went back to her smile and nodded. “Sure wonder what team we want to root for?” she asked. "fainted?" she asked her
Nulu nodded. “Its just tricking the mind to believe that you are on the ground. Mommy invented it for movies, also they can use it to face up on the sky and it would appear as if you were flying.” She said and sounded extremely happy. “I can begin to experiment on one of the brooms, and then adjust magic and see if it works, although it will be difficult since muggle technology does not work on Hogwarts grounds. OH what mother would have done to get a challenge like this.” She told her and clapped her hands together out of happiness. “Hey we can even see if I can do it for everyone who is terrified of heights it would make flying class a lot easier.” She said with a giggle.
