SPOILER!!: Gwen Quote:

"That's the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. We celebrate it every year." Fireworks and concerts and reenactments, etc. It was amazing. Once, Gwen had gotten to be on one of the boats on the Hudson, special favor to her father. She and Annora had gone. It was the most incredible thing Gwen had ever experienced, magic included.
Leah sounded as if she was just as unsure of her house as Gwen was. Maybe it was something all first years had in common? Or maybe just a few. There were certainly a few in Gwen's house ahemHopeahem who seemed fairly certain of where they belonged.
Gwen nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely!" That was what she was hoping the other girl would say. "Yeah, actually, are you doing anything right now?" It was a Saturday after all, and they had limited time to do homework. "We could do it now if you're not busy."
Ooh, America's birthday. Leah made a mental note to celebrate the day - at home - afterwards. Fireworks would be fun in the summer day.
"No, I'm not doing anything in particular." The girl said. It was sad, when older kids were meeting their friends in the weekends but she was alone. But this was an advantage now, as she could do her homework with Gwen. She stretched her hand into her bag on her lap and felt her wand, wood and rope. "Are you done with your breakfast? Then let's go!" Leah said a bit apologetically as she realized that Gwen had very little to eat because of the conversation between the two of them. |
