"that is a unique schooling arrangment. I went to Muggle primary school, so I guess I am adaptable because of that. What is muggle highschool like? Was it co-ed? Before I came to Hogwarts I had never been in a class with boys before, so it was quite a change"

"Oh.. so you are book smart! I was like that too before here is some areas. I did see quidditch before as my brothers were always playing it at home" Sarah said, thinking back to her pre-Hogwarts days. "is it hard? I don't know. They usually give flying classes for those that want to learn. That is how I finally learnt. I had never been on a broom before Hogwarts. I think it is easier then riding a bike, mainly because you don't have to worry about balancing. You just mount the broom and kick your feet off the ground. Most first timers try to fly low at first, sort of like at the ice skating ring when beginners try to keep as close to the wall as possible. It probably can be daunting if you are scared of heights. That is as far as flying is concerned, yet Quidditch is more difficult. It took two years of practice before I made the team. I think Seeker is the hardest position... maybe because I have never played it. Goal keeper I would find stressful, and you need strength in your arms to play beater. I once played a match when the bat was too heavy for me. I like chaser best, maybe that is because that is the main position I play"

Sarah loved her family, and at least by making Addi her cousin, Addi would not be jealous. "yup, I am the princess of the family! I always wanted a sister, but at least I get seven sister in laws in the end.. Now I only have two. I also have female cousins. Lack of female playmates was one of the reasons my parents sent me to muggle school. Also, having brothers is an educational experience, it also toughened me up, I can handle insects, bugs and spiders as my brothers taught me well. They would never have a sister that was a sissy Also, brothers are so protective... it is really cool to see them in action." Sarah lovingly looked at the picture again. "I love having a large family, I want to have one of my own someday... do you?" Alexa came from a small family and she didn't, so Sarah wanted to see if it was statistics or personal preference that determined this


Adelaide nodded. "It was the only thing my parents could think of to keep me somewhat normal. Besides, I threatened to turn them into frogs if they didn't let someone teach me magic." Not like her threat held any power. She was eleven years old and had no idea how to control her magic. "It was all right. I couldn't stand half of the people I went to school with. And yeah, some are coed. I went to a private girls school though."

Addi nodded. "I got good enough marks in muggle school and Mr. Samson, my magic teacher that is, said I excelled pretty quickly at everything. Said I might be more advanced than most witches my age." She never knew if that was true or not. She never had anyone to compare herself to in that aspect. She listened to the Quidditch talk and it really didn't sound that bad. "Maybe I'll take one of the flying lessons and just try." It didn't hurt to try right?

The more Sarah talked about her family, the more jealous Adelaide got. She never had any of that. Just two very inattentive parents that did what was best for them without thoughts for anyone else. She shook the sad thoughts from her mind and smiled. "Yes. Mainly because I just want to experience it."
