She took a slight pause and continued.

"I started showing signs of magic when I was about eleven. My parents were out and I was at home feeling frustrated with school especially the students. It wasn't pretty. I got angry and managed to conjure a small ball of fire which quickly went away because of my age. I don't do that anymore due to being in control. My parents spotted some scorch marks which I had unknowingly left on a nearby cushion and I had to tell them.."

Zelena sighed sadly at the memory and continued.

"My Hogwarts letter came soon afterwards and well, the rest is history."

When Dora mentioned OWLs, Zelena smiled. "I wish you all the very best with those especially doing non-verbal spells. It takes some time but as long as you concentrate and keep practicing, you'll succeed."

Dora couldn't help but squint at her as she spoke in a somewhat condescending manner. "I understand that you were adopted. I got that. I meant more along the lines of how did your Muggle parents deal with your being a witch." Which she had not entirely explained. Not that she had to, but whatever.

"I blow things up and set them on fire all the time." Maybe that would make her feel less sad? Not that Dora did it accidentally, though. Heh.

"Thanks, Zelena! I have to go do some studying now, actually. I will see you around though. I really enjoyed talking to you." Then with a little wave the blonde took off down the corridor to head to her common room.
