"There aren't any weird flavors like boogie or earwax are there?" She asked.
Adanna shook her head.
"Nope, they're Muggle candy. I think the strangest is popcorn, but this bag is only fruit flavours."
She popped two in her mouth.
"Neat, so you're pureblood? First one I've met, though that doesn't say much, considering I've never met a witch or wizard outside my family before. That must be a completely different lifestyle from the one I'm used to! Although, I've caught second-hand glimpses of how it probably is, since my father's family are all purebloods as well. As for my mother . . . she's still not used to the idea of magic. My father was upfront with her about it when they married, but she's very . . . traditional, I suppose you could call it. She prefers to stay out of wizarding places like Diagon Alley and the sort, but she seems alright with the idea of her daughters being witches and all. A bit uneasy at times, but mostly alright. Although, she absolutely despises when my father pulls jokes on her. He enjoys it, however, so he does it often. For instance..." Her voice trailed off a little as she searched the bag of candy for a strawberry flavour, then popped it into her mouth and continued telling the story.
"Once, he hexed a bag of regular jellybeans, making the normal flavours taste like the bizarre ones of Bertie Bott's. So she took what she thought was a watermelon and a cherry. She had actually taken a dog food and a horseradish, she assumes. She did not find it humourous at all. Claims it was the most horrid thing she had tasted. Doesn't stop him from overusing that joke, or any other."
Realizing she had probably spoken a bit too much, she asked James,
"How does your mother feel about it? Your father being a wizard, I mean."
