She didn’t. Her parents had taught her that trusting magical objects was unwise and having a mirror that showed her innermost wants and desires could only lead to trouble. "Have you only run into 'nice' mirrors in the maze so far?" Bella wondered as she considered which way they should go in the maze next. Forward was obvious, but right or left?
Smiling over at Evan she answered. "Likewise Evan. I’m okay with being called both, but most call me Bella so you can pick what you call me." When she was in trouble at home, her mother always spelled out her whole full name and it would feel weird if Evan did that too but he didn’t know what her middle name was of course. Nodding she explained. "It is exciting to get to take elective classes like muggle studies and care of magical creatures. I’ve been waiting to try those classes that everyone always talks about since my first years, and seeing new professors is always fun."
Starting to walk a few steps forwards since her balance was finally back she threw the question back. "So how about you, are you excited for the new term?" Walking beside Evan as they walked on ahead Bella shook her head. "I came alone. Did you come with your sister Lisa?" Before she could say anything else they turned a corner in the maze and was met by the sight of BOOKS which caused Bella to cry out as she tackled Evan to the side. "Watch out Evan!" as they looked on a mini avalanche of books came tumbling towards them.
He didn't blame her for them making her uncomfortable and jumpy. He didn't like anything that could see any of his thoughts. Occlumens made him uncomfortable too. Not that he had MET any of them, but the very IDEA made him quite uncomfortable. He wanted to eventually learn Legilimens to combat that just for his own peace of mind but considering he was only a fourth year... this had yet to occur for him.
"I wouldn't. The idea of the Mirror of Erised is really cool but... just like the mean ones would make me uncomfortable, so would a mirror that knows what I want." Especially since HE didn't know what he wanted. Maybe he'd see nothing? Maybe he'd just see his siblings happy? Who knew.
"Would you want one?" Nice mirrors? He shook his head.
"There are a couple normal ones and the ones that show the back of your head at least aren't NOT nice?" Which was a good start he supposed.
"Let's go right."
He didn't know if that was the correct way, but worth a shot.
"Bella it is then." He gave a small smile. If she liked both, but people usually used Bella, he imagined that was at least more comfortable. Even if he had known her middle name, he definitely wouldn't have been so weird as to try to use it in a full name setting. That was for families. Not that he had one of those himself anyways.
"The elective classes are fun. It's too bad Schmoe isn't coming back though." He'd really quite miss his old Head of House. He'd been a really good Professor. Hopefully he liked the new Professor's as well.
He considered if he was excited or not, and decided that... oddly he was, so he nodded his head.
"Yeah, I am. Fourth year is like the last year to get to relax a little bit before things get crazy with OWLs, picking classes for future career, and then NEWTs. The last three years seem like they go pretty quick so... I guess I'm hoping to enjoy this term." Make even more friends than the last and enjoy hanging out with them before life really started to get
real.
"Yeah, Lisa and our sister Maya. Do you know Lisa?" Seems like most people did.
He was not expecting the pile of books, nor the side tackle to avoid them, so he went down like a limp noodle when she hit.
"Oof." Well.. at least the books hadn't hit them. Though he wondered if they were real or a figment of the imagination given the overall nature of the maze.
"You okay?"
