Minerva crinkled her nose, “I know.. I hate it being last. I mean I have to sit there all day feeling sick with nerves and it’s not like I’ve been sick enough lately, but let’s add being super nervous for the entire day onto it. “ She shook her head knowing she was already feeling anxious enough for the task to happen. What would they be doing, how dangerous, what kind of animal. These questions went over and over in her head. “I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this. I think you and I will make a great team.” They were best friends and seemed to be even closer this year than last. They had gotten so good at reading each other she had no doubt that they would work well together. “I was studying every transfiguration book I could find up until a few weeks ago, but don’t worry. I’m focusing again. It’s my best subject so I’m not too worried.” She gave him a reassuring smile.

She was looking at the plaques as he spoke, but nothing… nothing could have prepared her for his words. Her blue eyes jumped up to his face. She blinked back at the names and then back to him. Did she hear him right. A state of shock washed over her as it processed and sunk in. “Your parents met because of my mom?” She felt the emotions build up knowing this was the link she needed for the wizarding world. She knew nothing of her mother at school and Wade’s dad.. Wade’s dad was her friend. Possibly really close friend. “Wow” She felt the tears fall, “They were friends? Like us? Possibly best friends too?” Her head was spinning with this information and all the questions. She shook her head, “No one would have. My parents met when she was 19, once they married my mom’s parents disowned her. My cousin liked to tell me when I was stuck there that her parents told everyone she died when she was 20, but of course she didn’t or I wouldn’t be here right now.” Awful people she couldn’t understand how parents could be so horrible to their own child. Frowning she trid to push that thought out of her mind. She looked back at Wade and wiped her eyes, “He’s coming? Do you think he’d mind telling me some stories. I mean.. he knows things about her here.. Maybe what classes she was good at, what she was like at school.” All the unanswered questions that always bothered her could be answered. She felt an excitement thinking about it.


Minerva couldn’t help but chuckle about his NEWTs “Yeah I might just crawl in a hole of embarrassment if I don’t get an O in transfiguration after all this studying. She shrugged, “It’s kind of just stopped lately. I can’t get focused on it, but I’ll push more once this competition is over.” Other things were starting to settle down as well, so she could get her focus on studying again. Min chuckled, “You and that knitting, I don’t know why it’s so funny to me.” It was cute, but funny in her eyes. “Hey Wade..” she got a sheepish smile to her. “I know a onesie you could do.” she softly chuckled thinking about her Minnie Onesie he had gotten her last term. She hadn’t wore it in awhile. She would have to change that soon. It was comfy.
