Not wanting to offend Cora any further she simply said, “Oh, okay. Well everyone has their own opinion of course.” Trying to not sound judgmental (because she certainly wasn’t), she added, “If you’d like…you know, when school is out - I could write you letters through the muggle post.” Hopefully they’d stay friends through the term. She didn’t have any reason to suspect they wouldn’t, but she also didn’t want Cora to think she was being clingy. “I mean, my neighbors - they’re all muggles you see, so it’s really no trouble!” Maybe that would make up for Cora’s not being allowed letters from her other friends.

Moving back to things of a less sensitive nature, Eliza said, “I’ve always heard that Kneazles were a bit more special than regular familiars. I guess I’m not completely sure how though,” she admitted. “Do you know?” She didn’t like her knowing that she had wanted something she knew so little about, but she figured she could trust Cora not to think poorly of her for it.

“You’re right though. Owning a pet would take up a lot of time. I think I will wait at least until next term to make any decisions.” That was probably for the best, she decided.

Eliza was intrigued when Cora mentioned Quidditch. She hadn’t really pegged Cora as a player, but then again they had only just met. “Do you play Quidditch?” Eliza adjusted her sweater as she noticed there were still some bits of leaves clinging to it from her own bout with Flying Practice earlier. “If she’s not on the team, maybe that means she enjoys seeing the games - and if she likes to see them, maybe she’d let me join her sometime!” she rattled on inside her head.

Cora's eyes lit up. Muggle post?! Cora didn't quite know how that worked. "I didn't know they had one," she said, wide-eyed. This would be some way to contact everyone. She had to figure this out. "Of course, it makes sense that they have a way of contacting each other, it's just that, well, I never gave it much thought before." She was still shocked, but delighted at this news.

"And of course, I would LOVE that." Cora was happy that Eliza was thinking long-term about their friendship (if that made sense?) because even with their age difference Eliza was still one of the nicest ones she's met so far. That could change, though, if she met the right people. But Cora was sure that they would stay friends. "You'll have to tell me how that works, though. We don't really communicate with the muggles in our area." Not that Cora was opposed to it or anything, but her family kept to themselves.

Kneazles: Cora knew a bit about them. "I actually do know about Kneazles. I read about them, and my aunt has one, although we don't see her often. Kneazles can actually be very aggressive, but they are good judges of character, so someone like you would be fine. A kneazle would be very loyal to someone kind like you. And yes, I guess they are a bit different than a normal pet, since they are definitely smarter."

Quidditch: Cora chuckled. "Oh, no. Not me, I could never play quidditch. Well, I've always wanted to, but it's too brutal. It's not for me since I'm not aggressive or competitive enough. I actually am pretty great on a broom. I learned early," Cora explained with a smile. "I do like watching though. Even though I may cover my eyes at some points. How about you? Have you started flying lessons yet?" Cora asked curiously.
