Shane reached for a cup and smiled. She nodded her head in thanks as he talked about the Hogwarts Houses. "Aren't you a lucky one then?" she asked, after taking a sip of the sweet lemonade the two of them had made. "I guess things do get a little ... unusual ... from time to time."

"I'm sure things have changed greatly between the Houses than what they once were when the great Harry Potter attended. Now that would be a serious hate-to-hate frienships there. ... At least those years are over with, from what all I know of Hogwarts."

She took another sip of her lemonade and flicked her wand at the box of donuts. "Now these go great with lemonade!" She laughed calmly and gave Syd a little wink.
