When she heard the flea question she just laughed. “I never caught the fleas myself I just collected them and wore a flea poison collar and then gave them to a boy…but basically yeah” she grinned. “Oooooh that’s how your magic surfaced?” She asked and grinned at her.
“I just fell out of a window and bounced my sister was trying to slow my fall but I just kind of floated and then bounced around the house” she laughed and grinned over to her. “naaaah we both win. We are both here after all” she practically giggled because she was well, excited. “oooooooh yes lets do that! And we can use it to practice all sorts of things and maybe even do potions because I’ll be so laaazy and not want to go to the dungeons aaaalll the time when classes aren’t happening.” She grinned.
Haddie simply grinned as Mel threw out her theory of the Hag eating the real Divination hire, and shook her head as if she couldn't believe her luck. "This school is amazing, right? We never had Hags eating the real teachers so they could eat all the school children! Man, muggle school was so boring." She shook her head again and then looked up at Mel puzzled. "Wait though, Hags aren't human? I just thought she was... I mean, a foul, disgusting, cannibalistic hag of a human, but human. Huh."
Mel's way of giving the boy fleas was a lot smarter. Haddie didn't say that outright, but her grin said it for her. And then she was puzzled again. She shook her head. "No... I don't know how my magic surfaced. I wasn't even aware that was a thing. Strange things just always happened around us. Well, me, I guess, since Nat isn't magical. But I think there was things happening around us before Mom and Dad could even take us home, or shortly after they did, or something like that. But... you bounced? Do you always bounce? Because that would be cool."
Haddie didn't say anything about the potion idea at first. After a moment she shrugged though. "I'm hopeless at potions. Trust me. Hopeless. Why does it have to be so much like cooking? My Mom's a chef, an amazing one, and can teach anyone -ANYONE- to cook and even she gave up trying to teach me. I'm banned from the kitchen at home." She was quiet a again for a moment and let out a slow sigh. "Think the Room of Requirement can create something that teaches me to cook?"
