Tea and Magic

"What's your idea?" She was curious now, and thankful the yard was free of Devil's Snare. She hadn't spotted any of it shrinking away from that light as it would so she figured it was gone.

"Are you kidding I live for fire and explosions~” And now Edith knew she was letting a pyromaniac into her home. “And alrighty, another day then. But now that I know one of my favorite stories is nonfiction here I’m so meeting the cool people I can from that.”

"If you're gonna try that at home I'd want protective wards laid down around the area you're working in so our house and the muggle houses around it don't catch fire." Edith frowned a little. She could understand Jess liking fire given her form and what she's been doing the last few years, but you still need to be careful with it. "I'm glad Muggles think they're fictional. It makes it a little easier to hide from them."

"So absolutely no idea how stuff would react in potions." Pausing a moment. "Hmm… That just makes me even more curious though, and now I want to experiment. Create those uninvented products just for the hell of seeing what happens." Pausing yet another moment. "In my world Harry Potter was fiction but what if it’s not here? … Where is Ms. Granger, I’d very much trust her advice on this as well…"

"Experimenting like that would have to be done under careful conditions if it's likely to involve fire and explosions." She warned. Experiments like that would be better done in a lab than in her own house. Granger. Edith paused for a moment. Did she mean Hermione Granger who works in the Law Enforcement Department? "Well, now would not be the time of night to be bothering her or the wizards in her department. Best to leave that for another day."

"Phoenix feather… Hmm." Finding herself staring at her own feathers curiously. "We’ll just… Test that later, I guess." Clearly thinking about if her own feathers could be used in wandcrafting. "And speaking of potions are any ingredients from phoenixes used because if they are I’ll probably have to be extra careful…"

"it's possible that your feathers could be used in wands though that'd be up to someone like Mr. Ollivander to decide if they're potent enough as a wand core." Edith frowned thinking about whether phoenix anything could work in a potion. "I've never heard of phoenix anything being used in potions, but I have met wizards who are willing to experiment and create products people haven't thought of before."

Ethan grinned. “Don’t worry, I can fix your window. Not so sure about that Devil’s Snare.” He pointed his wand at the broken pieces of glass. “Reparo.”

"Thank you, Ethan." Edith left him to it and headed for the backyard casting protective spells as well as concealment spells to try to hide what she was about to do just in case there really was some muggles watching and Devil's Snare still lurking. She'd contained the plant to her backyard at least, but she still didn't know who'd dumped it in there in the first place. "Lumos Maxima!" The flash of light resulting from the spell lit up the backyard for a few minutes so she could take a good look around, but she didn't spot anyone. Weird.

"Not as accurate- so clearly the wand is just as important to most ah- what are these wands typically made up of?" Were they really just wood like Edith’s appeared to be? Or was there more to it than that. This really interested her. "Obviously some kind of wood is a main component from what I saw of yours."

"Wands are made of a type of wood, and a magical core is added inside. For example, my current wand is Elm with a Unicorn Hair core." Edith entered the elevator and waited for Jess to get in before hitting the button for the lobby. "The majority of wizards purchase their wands from Mr. Ollivander in Diagon Alley. He uses all sorts of different wandwoods, but limits himself to using just Unicorn Hair, Dragon Heartstring, and also Phoenix Feathers as cores. There are other kinds of cores too, but he considers those three the highest in quality and most powerful cores."

"How would they have gotten into your backyard?" Ethan ran a hand through his hair. "This is too strange to be a coincidence."

"I really don't know. I just hope they got out safely since Devil's Snare started appearing in my garden again over the winter. How it got there I'll never know. I'd managed to tame and get rid of most of it, but there was the odd shoot of it I missed." Edith sighed. "I'd better check the backyard for lost Muggles and fix the window later."

Jess nodded, following closely behind her now. Making sure to observe what she could of what the Ministry of Magic was like so that hopefully, someday, if she needed to come here on her own she’d know what to do and where to go. “How about you tell me more on the way? I’m really curious how magic works and understanding that might help me adapt.”

"Magic is something people are born with, and it doesn't matter if your parents are wizards or not. Some magical creatures can also use magic of their own like you and your fire abilities." Edith explained as they went. "Wizards focus their power using wands and verbal commands. Some very skilled wizards can do nonverbal magic and wandless magic, but spells cast without a wand sometimes aren't as accurate."

"I'm sleepy..."

Edith woke up a bit and squinted at her blearily. “Bad dream?” Her voice still full of sleep. “…Get in if you want.” She flipped the blankets over so Jess could share the bed with her if she wanted out of habit.

"Si- how’d you know?" Getting into the bed, her wings curling tightly around Edith now. "I’m sorry if this happens a lot, I haven’t been getting much sleep lately…"

"... 's all right." Edith yawned. Jess's wings actually were comfy and warm, and it was definitely better than being kicked by children looking for a comfy spot in her bed to sleep after having bad dreams. "Sleep well."

"Alrighty~" Getting ready to follow her. "I don’t sleep the usual way anymore either, give me suitable materials and I’ll make my own perch. It’s… One of the few things I do know how to make that’s not for destructive ends, eheh…"

"That can be arranged." Edith said. Getting wood for a perch should be easy enough, and if not she could always ask one of the trees in her garden for some wood. "Shall we get going?"

Hello there! Is there anything I can help you with?

"Actually, do you think you could direct me to the nearest supermarket? This place is completely new to me, I’m afraid, and I haven’t the slightest clue where I’m going."

#clarumbritannia #that'd be great!#I never really got the hang of rping with icons tbh ^^;#I keep forgetting to use them oTL

"Yes, of course!" She smiled at him, and pointed in the right direction. "Go that way and take the third street on the left. You can't miss it!"

"I'm sleepy..."

Edith woke up a bit and squinted at her blearily. "Bad dream?" Her voice still full of sleep. "...Get in if you want." She flipped the blankets over so Jess could share the bed with her if she wanted out of habit.

"Thank you." And cue the sudden hugging- it seemed personal space was a social rule that she’d have to relearn. "And what was that you said about potions earlier? Since that seems to be the closest thing to my current knowledge base…"

"About Potions being similar to chemistry? The ingredients and effects are a bit more unusual, but you still need to pay attention to detail and accuracy." Edith explained. "But we should probably get going. You can stay with me for the time being as well, I have a spare room or two at home."

"I’m not sure, relative to this one. But I grew up Human, at least at first. Lived in a porrer suburb of Jacksonville Florida. Just me and my Mom- my Dad was a cheating bastard who tried to kill her, and frankly I’m happy I didn’t grow up around his influence. I was… Different from other kids as well. While they were learning to read and write I was understanding advanced medical books. The only friends I had were over the internet, and sometime after the tougher school started we were all already overwhelmed- even me with my apparent smarts… So we decided to play a game. We didn’t know it’d warp reality and end up destroying Earth. Me… I was granted this nonhuman form, and cannot age or die of natural causes. My friends… They weren’t so lucky. And thus I was alone for 9 years, before accidentally summoning Edith. If I hadn’t trusted her I’d still be stuck there, on that planet made up of Cathedrals, for who knows how long."

The two of them listened to the story, and by the end of it he was nodding. "The way you are now... you wouldn't be able to blend into Muggle society without using Polyjuice Potion on a regular basis which while possible is inconvenient in the long term." Edith's boss was thinking now on how to deal with the situation at hand, and then he decided. "Seeing as you are essentially a new species of magical creature- no offence meant, I'll grant you status as a "being" until you're officially classified under our laws."

"Sir, I want her to be classified as a 'being' officially. She doesn't care about being lumped in with other species in that category at all." Edith spoke up now. She didn't want Jess to be at risk of being hunted by anyone, wizard or muggle.

"I'll take that into consideration and pass it on to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. They'll be excited since it's been a long time after the last new species to be classified." He smiled at them. "I'm fairly certain she'll be classified as a Being."
