The good thing was, at least it seemed they both liked each other's company!
He beamed at the thought of going to the candy shop in Diagon Alley with her. For one, he'd be shown around and then he was going to be able to indulge his sweet tooth. "Great, I can't wait," and he was already really excited! It would be so much fun. Of course he'd also allow her to take him to any stores she wanted to go to.
It was only fair.
"She's still got my sister to fuss over so I think she'll be fine," Jasper commented with a shrug, though it was nice to see that Azura kind of understood where she was coming from. He didn't need to mention that his mum had said he needed to send them letters once a week. "Huh... I thought in families where both parents had gone to Hogwarts they'd be a lot more comfortable sending their kids there..."
Did he sound like he wasn't trying to be empathetic now? He was trying to understand it... but his own father hadn't seemed too concerned or worried about sending him to Hogwarts. Though that could've been because his mother was... Jasper wasn't even sure anymore.
He couldn't help but grin as he made her smile about her eyes! It seemed to be the first time that she had actually smiled when talking about the colour of her eyes! "They do," he confirmed, smiling at her warmly. His face fell slightly at the mention of 'fitting in'. He understood feeling like he didn't belong. He grew up around muggles after all. His mind immediately jumped to something his mum, who had an obsession with Dr. Seuss, had always told him. It also happened to be on a canvas in his room. With a soft smile on his face he looked straight at her and simply said, "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"
He assumed she wouldn't have heard it before, but it was possible she would surprise him. For him at least, it was something that had stuck. Either way if she believed all she needed was one friend, then he'd definitely be that! And if she wanted more, he'd be glad to be one of many!
"I enjoy talking to you as well," he said with a grin. She was funny! And she understood him! And she didn't mind that he could get pretty awkward.
Azura smiled warmly at Jasper as said he couldn't wait until next year! Neither could she actually! And it was a whole year away!
"I'll be sure to remind you throughout the year!" She said with a soft giggle as she looked up at him, her purple eyes shining happily.
"And after The Candy Shoppe, I'll take you to the bookstore." Because she loved books! And she loved the smell of books and magical books were even better!
"Ohh you have a little sister? Is she magical as well? Do you have any other siblings?" She asked him rather curiously. Siblings were a fun concept to her seeing as she didn't have any! She was pretty much a miracle and after her mom managed to have her, she couldn't have any more! So.. It was just Azura! She sighed inwardly, wondering what it would be like to have a brother or a sister!
"Well, I think they are fine with me being at Hogwarts, but it's still hard for them! We are a super close family, it's just my mom and dad and I.. so They were having a hard time with letting me go." Mmmmhmmm, all three of them had cried before they had left for the station! Even her Dad! Azura hadn't wanted to go either! But now.. she was sort of glad she had!
She smiled up at him as he grinned at her.. He had a really nice smile and Azura.. kinda wanted to keep it there! She studied him a bit more, only to find herself feeling a bit sad as his face fell! No!! What has she said that made him look like that? She was wracking her brain a bit.. when he looked her in the eyes and said something that made her heart flutter..
Ohhh.. that was new!
Though.. that was probably some saying... it sounded like it.. but still Azura's little heart was racing a bit..
"I.. guess you have a point there." She paused for a moment.. almost not wanting to test out her theory..
"Where is that saying from?" She asked him as she smiled again at him.
"Oh good! It would be awful if we didn't like talking to each other!" She said with a warm smile as she looked up at him happily.
