Reaching out, she gave Janet a big hug in gratitude. "Thanks Janet!" Willow gushed. "This is going to be the best summer ever! So, this airpport... does it have those fast food places where you just walk-in and the food is ready for you? 'Cause let me tell you, there's this clown guy with big feet I saw on my Muggle friend's TV, and he has these great big hamburgers called, "Big Macs" and I need one!" Willow's eyes were huge and bright as she thought of the humongous burger. This was going to be a grand venture into the Muggle world. She'd only ever travelled by floo powder, broom and side-along apparition. This was definitely going to be a real thrill!

Wilow turned back to Janet and said, "What's a round-up? I thought you had horses? They're hardly going to agree to being made into circles are they? I mean, am I missing something here? You lnow we're not allowed to use magic, right?" Willow had a weird smirk on her face. "Wait a second here... does this mean I get my very own horse for the summer?" Again, Willow was excited. "Are they as fun to ride as Hippogriffs? I rode a hippogriff once and it almost threw me half-way across the yard! I don't know why though? All I said was that I thought he could stand to lose a little weight... I mean, I could barely get my legs arounf him..."

Emerging from her memories, Willow quickly said, "So, what work will I have to do and when do I start?" Willow was ready for some summer adventure!
Janet laughed at Willow. This summer was going to be a rare one. It'll be for Willow just as it was for her when she went to Hogwarts for the first year. Learning the ropes was fun, just as it would be for Willow. Janet was winded for a second as Willow gave her a sudden hug. She smiled and nodded her head for friends thanks, not being able to get a word in edgewise. Janet loved Willow's excitement. "Uggg, I can't believe McDonalds is going to be her first taste of Muggle life. But, if that's what she wants, that's what she'll have. The Big Mac's are pretty decent after all. The special sauce is good anyway." Janet thought as she continued watching Willow. "A round up is where the horses are all out in the miles range, and we need to gather them all... Hang on here! You know what a round up is. You're pulling my legg! Just for that, I'm going to get you an Ostrich to ride instead of a horse!" Janet giggled at her joke, and the thought of Willow trying to ride the great bird. Knowing Willow though, she'd master it artfully. Then Janet pondered a thought. "Hey Will ow (she added quicly, cause Willow didn't tolerate that nickname much) Do you have any idea what kind of horse you want? We don't have a great variety, but we do have quite a few you can choose from? You can be thinking on it, and decide on it when you see them. You can pick out whichever one you want. And I can tell you this, they are all fast! They can't get airborn, like your Hippogriff did, and it is possible you get thrown, but, only if you misstreat it, which I know you won't, or the horse gets spooked, but that rarely happens, and you can usually hang on. I can't wait till we get there. And, yes, we will stop at MacDonalds for your Whopper, oops that's Burger King, ummm Big Mac, that's it."
