Sabbath’s eyes flicked to her at her reply, "Muggle mail!”. Understanding dawned on him, he now knew how the pieces fit, and from where the ring had come. His eyes returned to the ring.. he had no cognitive dissonance on the beliefs of his family and culture... he knew better than to intervene. He also thought it best that he not tell her what he knew, but one thing was for certain, there was no way he would be accepting that ring back or even touching it for that matter.

He pushed thoughts of the sender from his mind, switching subject in an attempt to break his reverie. “Err, So... I didn’t forget your birthday” he issued a smile. “I got you something”. He leant down and removed books from his book bag, until he found the item he was searching for... it was still covered in the fabric he’d wrapped it in, having knotted it at the top for safe keeping. He placed the small package in front of her on the table “Happy birthday, Nells", he said as he waited for her to unknot the fabric.https://67.media.tumblr.com/9532dd32...y87ro1_500.jpg
