One can get more into the story, if you know what i mean... But the short stories are pretty interesting too. This book" she said patting her hand on it, "is a collection of those two stories and about 15 shorter ones..."
Listening to Nia tell her about Hogwarts Anya couldn't help bet get excited. She was so eager to hake her own memories here and learn as much as she could!
"Yeah it does" Anya replied. She wasn't smiling, but the look on her face was one of wonder.
"I hope this will be a good year!"
Nia nodded. "I'm not sure which I prefer. I guess it depends what kind of mood I'm in." She smiled. "I understand your thoughts though - I do like a good mystery, and with that a background plot is just as essential as the action." She looked at the book, noting it wasn't one she'd yet read. "Sounds good to have a book with a mixture of both in. The short ones will be great to sit and read in an evening with no work." She winked.
"I'm
sure it'll be a good year," Nia said, spotting the wonder in her eyes. With that, she could detect the girl was going to be amazed with all the wonders of Hogwarts. "Are you a Quidditch or Gobstones fan?"
