Anna wasn't particularly good at drawing and doodling either, which would only serve to add to the charm of such badges because they would be uniquely theirs. Maybe Anna could wear the one Aurora designed and Aurora the one she designed, so they were trading creative affection between each other while solidifying their sisterhood. Sharing all these thoughts, however, were overshadowed by the joy and relief the Hufflepuffle felt when her bestie shared that she too wanted to donate her dragon plushie upon completing their assignment. "Maybe we can ask Mr Derfael and Mrs Chloe to take us there together," she chirped, her curls suddenly seeming even more bouncy now. "Let's send him an owl together and ask?"
Amazing how one thing could make you so excited about term ending, wasn't it? A buzz that would likely pass as the day went on and she remembered other things that made term ending less appealing but for now everything was coming up happy honking daffodils!
"I think it might depend on the dragon," Anna mused with a thoughtful chin tap. "But also...more likely a smell association than a visual recognition? I am not really sure how exactly it works...but fostering and adopting a child to be your own isn't linked exclusively with appearances." That much she knew for certain thanks to her own experience with one Ivor Bowen who not only swept mum off her feet but managed to never be the reason Anna felt lonely or unwanted. A knot of guilt bubbled in her stomach and crawled upwards before settling in her throat, which she swallowed down quickly and thickly. "Maybe we can ask at the reserve! We ought to compile a list of questions because I am likely not going to remember all the things we are wondering about." Her memory and recollection tendencies WERE improving but there was still a loooooot of progress left to go.
Nodding as Aurora elaborated and shared her equally limited knowledge about opals. Maybe there was one for every color of the rainbow? There certainly were gemstones in every color but she wasn't sure about one specific type of gemstone that existed in every single color. "The name is a work in progress," she laughed. "Maybe we'll know what name is most befitting when we see one."
Kind of like how Aurora thought she would know what to name her dragon once it hatched...
Anna felt herself falling into an elated panic as the dragon within her egg continued to chip away at the shell around it, her hands flapping as if she were about to take flight. "Do...do you think I should help them?" she questioned Aurora while her flapping soared to new heights so that her bum lifted off the floor so she bounced a bit. "I saw Mr. Derfael help a hippogriff hatch from its egg because it was struggling...but that had been HOURS and HOURS of a hatching process before he stepped in...maybe even a whole day?" How long had it been since her egg had started to hatch? It sure felt like at LEAST three hours had passed but that could also, maybe, be the anticipation talking...
Another, much longer than any previously, shallow crack appeared along the side of the egg as if it were going to split in two. One solid kick from inside would be more than enough to accomplish this, surely, and Anna rolled forward to try and peer inside the hole on top of her egg to coach the dragon within. "Hmmm?" Anna hummed, her eyes looking over to Aurora and then over at Aurora's egg and then her own and round and round she went in search of the source of the sound the blonde had asked about. "OH! OH OH OH OH OOOOOOH! Aurora! Look! I think that was yours!"
