"I know! That's why when I saw him being nice to you, I thought he was coming up with a major evil plan. I'm trying to stay away from him at all costs. But staying away from Ian is different. Crazy Lying Ian called me a bully, he knows nothing," Allison grinned mischievously.
"But you're right. He prolly didn't burn his school down, but it would have been a good story you know?" Patting her belly Allison was about to suggest a walk when suddenly she heard a flap of wings.
"Oh my. It's Bruce Wayne the family Screech-Owl." Sitting up she caught a thick stack of letters with a blue ribbon tied. The owl immediately flew off and in came Robin flopping left and right finally releasing two letters one which Allison caught and another which landed in front of Arya.
With a grimance Allison untied the letters and scratched herself behind her right ear,
"Oh Merlin. These are all from my aunts." Shuffling through them she saw one addressed to her with no returning name,
"Aunts, Uncles, cousins...and one random one. No name. Odd." Allison set aside the stack and looked at the one Robin had handed her.
Allison grinned at her mother's recounts and noticed that the letter in front of Arya..was in her mother's writing and was for Arya. She knew it. Allison's mother was never the one not to fret. Waiting for Arya to open it, Allison drank more milk,
"Well. Hurry up and read it, then tell me what it says."
While Arya read her own letter Allison opened a few from the Scotts, her frown and annoyance showing more and more on her face. All of them sent her money and great wishes for being a Ravenclaw. Glorying in the days that they had been there, comparing her to her failure of a brother who had been a Hufflepuff, exclaiming they were ecstatic that at last a true Scott had been called out among the rotten apples that her mother had reproduced. Announcing how proud they were that she was showing school spirit and trying out for the Quidditch team.
Allison got sick by the second letter and instead tied them all up again with the blue ribbon. However Allison also made sure to place the anonymous letter at the very top. She thought it best to open it later, when she didn't have class to worry about and her own nagging need to know what her mother had sent Arya.
Looking at Arya she asked,
"So? Cough up, what did it say?" She wanted to take the letter from Arya's hands but breeding stopped her.
