 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
How was she doing? That was easy! “Doing splendidly,” was her reply to Luther. She hoped he was too, and not missing his house elf friend too much. Aria happened to be watching each student who entered the room. She was doing so intently, as though silently urging them to check out the contraption at the front of the class. It was how she noticed the frown on Serena’s face. Was something bothering her Housemate? Still, Aria beamed when the younger girl decided to sit with her and Caes. The Slytherins together! “Right?? It’d make him look like such a gentleman!’’ There was a small snigger from her at Caes’ comment. “That would be quite the sight.”
Keen gaze flicked to the front when Carton indicated that they were making a start. Then it shifted to the thing he was indicating to. Aria studied it again. She hadn’t made an attempt to study it up close so she hadn’t an inkling about what secrets the hat, table and cloth were hiding. Caes’ words got her thinking though, and it was only a short time later that she raised her hand. “Is there an object hidden under the table that…” Aria forgot her train of thought for a bit and her eyes lit up. “Wait! Is this something like what Muggles use to do their magic tricks? The objects are hidden under the table perhaps and ‘magically’ pulled out of the hat?” Aria didn’t know about the nitty-gritty of Muggle top-hat magic but she did have the general idea about it. |
