 Fluttery Pegasi
The now officially 12 year old nearly collided with Thornton as she entered. It was her fault. Mostly. She had just spent her entire birthday, in school, learning, and was still having one of the best birthdays ever.
On the one hand, school now taught magic, but this was still throwing Haddie for a loop. Coupled with the fact she was missing her twin more than ever today ---It was the first birthday she'd ever spent apart from Natalie---, the birthday girl's vague lack of grace and where Thornton was standing, it was a near disaster that was just barely avoided.
"Sorry." It was sincere. "I just, um..." Haddie caught sight of the raffle tickets in Thornton's hand and perked up a little. "Oh, the raffle! Do I have time to run up to my room and get something?" In all the excitement of the yesterday and then all the trouble she got into, she'd forgotten about the present Mom had apparently slipped into her trunk, until tonight's dinner that is, and was eager to open it and find out what it was.
