That hadn't been something his mum had mentioned, probably because it all had to be kept secret. "No one in me family have it. Though dad said there might have been someone, a distant relative a few generations back that did" So the magical blood must have come from somewhere, despite him being a muggleborn.

"When did you discover you had magic?" he asked, genuinely interested. Did everyone make things fly or were there other ways to discover your abilities. Or did people not find out at all until the owl had arrived at their door and it was only then that they could do stuff. Did an owl ever arrive at the wrong persons door, that would be dead funny, thinking you had magic and all that. Seventeen? Now that was pretty late. "Must of been a bit of a cram then" To shove seven years worth of education within one year, Bradley wouldn't of wanted to do it.
Of course Helen Broadmoor had not mentioned the fact that her kids were magical to Acker's ma. She would have thought the woman had finally lost her marbles. The story about scholarships to this private school were the best cover story the family could come up with. With Freddie, who had a insanely high IQ, it was believable.. with Kat and Tom not so much... but it was all they had. They had to make it believable.

He nodded as he listened to Ackers. It was the same with his family. “Wiff us it's skipped a load of generations an' then we all go' it. Late.. buh late bettah than nevah, righ'?” Of course Tom's Auntie was a witch too, but her brother, Tom's dad, hadn't got the gift of magic.

“It woz jus' ovah a year ago. Ma woz naggin' at me for somefin' or anovvah and BAM! The TV exploded along wiff me tempah.” Tom laughed a dirty laugh. He thought that had been pretty cool. “Weren't me faul' buh I woz graanded for two weeks.” Tom guessed people showed signs of magic in different ways. Freddie's discovery was rather more subtle like Bradley's.

“'E nevah did 'is NEWTs. They cancelled them for some reason tha' year. I would 'av been pleased, buh Fred was dead gutted. Fink 'e wan'ed to prove somefin'.” Ever the ambitious Slytherin.

Tom looked down at the bald cat again and couldn't help smiling. He wasn't a cat person, but that thing was cool. “Wotsit's name?” He asked Bradley curiously, looking back at him. ..Could you stroke a bald cat?
