Needed to blend in the crowd and sneak away, Lisa Nam would be the girl to do it. Needed a robber to rob something from a dragon in the Lonely Mountain, move over Bilbo Baggins, Lisa Nam would be the ickle to do it! Yes, indeed! You could pay here in gold AND sweets thank you very much.

She glanced to her left and right, wondering where her friend was. And then she heard someone call her name! She turned around to see Ash with a taller person behind her (was this Ash's special friend?!?). "Ash! Hey!" she beamed, returning Ash's high five happily before STARING (a la Ginny Weasley the first time she saw Harry Potter at the Burrow) with WIDE EYES. What did people feed him? Or what did this guy eat to grow so tall. She gave him a small wave too.

At the mention of the game, Lisa turned her gaze from Ash and to the game in front of them. Well.... "It looks like one of those water games that you'd play at the muggle carnivals but with wands and snitches instead of pirate weapons and ships.." she explained, describing the last carnival that she had gone too. It had been nautical themed and on a boardwalk in Brighton.

"Wanna play? And does your very tall special friend want to play too?" she asked Ash before turning her gaze nervously towards the giant.


Ash nearly died of laugher. Dustin nearly died of embarrassment. He was sensitive okay? Staring wasn’t very nice... was it his face paint or his height... also. “Lisa, this is my bodyguard. Do you really think I would bring Theodore to Diagon Alley? Because I definitely wouldn’t and I think that might be illegal.” Dustin nodded dutifully, still looking rather uncomfortable. “Theodore is also like five nine. Dustin is six six, and also he’s twenty-seven.” And dating Alex, although she wasn’t supposed to share that. She figured introductions were in order. “Lisa, this is my bodyguard Dustin. Dustin, this is my bestie Lisa. We know each other from Hogwarts.” Dustin nodded and waved, although he still looked like he wanted the ground to open and swallow him whole. “I say let’s play! Those prizes look fun. Dustin probably wouldn’t want to, but I bet he’d be good at it.” Dustin nodded. Hmmm. He was being very quiet right now. He needed to be cheered up. Maybe she’d bring him to a magical bookstore later. She figured he’d love that, since he liked reading and all. “What prize do you want, Lisa?” There were so many things to choose from.

”I’m not THAT tall.”

Yes, thanks Dustin. That was helpful. Sigh.
