~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Jude was ridiculously pleased with himself; it couldn’t be helped. But he was modest enough to just offer Gert a smile in response to her words to his answers. When it came to her offering further explanation, he made his notes carefully. These obviously would come in very handy for his NEWT studies. Also, he certainly hoped that he’d be around to catch a glimpse of Halley’s Comet in 2137!
The seventh year was quite sure that most myths surrounding the arrival of a comet meant that unfavourable things were about to happen. But being the positive soul that he was, Jude decided to go a different route. “In some cultures, it is believed that the arrival of a comet could foretold the birth of someone who would be prominent. The good sort of prominent. I guess that means this person would be a decent and famous human.” |
