| "I've very honored, then," she replied with a nod, sipping the water. "I admit, I haven't seen this many books in one place belonging to a single person in a very long time."
Sparrow looked from the tomes which reminded her somewhat of a friend of her father's, who'd had quite a collection of books that she'd never really been allowed to read. Finally she looked back to Aiden.
"I do," she replied with a nod, "Though I admit that i don't get a chance to as often as I'd like. The most I get to read now days are fairytales and the like to the younger ones who can't read or aren't that good at it yet." | |

| "That's sad," said Aiden as he finished off his hot chocolate and put two Sickles down on the counter, "Mother and...Father...have a bunch of books in their library. They let me read them sometimes. But I have to be careful. Some of Father's old books are charmed of cursed...they're...not nice books."
Aiden went over and perused the shelves, choosing a few books and handed them to Sparrow to peruse.
"Some are Muggle--some are Wizarding," he said, "pick something." | |

| (Sorry! D:)
"Only a little. By reading to them, I'm taking their interest away from the TV, at least." She set down her water glass. "Charmed or cursed? Well, I do suppose that I suddenly find myself in a magical underworld..."
Sparrow blinked as she was handed the small stack of books. "Alright," she replied. She then sat cross-legged on the stool and picked one at random to open. | |

| ((Tis okay... )) Aiden smiled as he saw the look of pleasure on Sparrow's face as she chose a book and began to read. Aiden did the same. Victoria watched them for precisely one hour before lightly tapping Sparrow the shoulder. "Pardon, Miss Sparrow," she said quietly close to her ear, "but I'm afraid my young master would let you stay here for hours if he could. I know you do not wish to worry your caretakers, and you must be needed back home." The sound a book closing rather loudly disturbed Victoria. Aiden looked up, scowling. "I can tell time, Victoria," he said, "sorry Sparrow...we have to go. Those fools who run your home will be missing you." He put down a few Galleons, took up the book, and bade Sparrow do the same. "Something for you to read later," he said. | |

| Sparrow blinked. "Ah, yes. I suppose so." She nodded, then blinked. "Are you sure?"
She of course didn't have the money to pay for the book herself, as much as she was enjoying it most of the money had been spent on her school supplies and she was left with a few knuts that she was sure she would have to give back to her care takers later. But she then smiled a bit.
"I thank you," She said. "And, you're right, they will be missing me. And I still have to find a secure place to put these school supplies where the other children won't get into them." | |

| "Easy," said Victoria, offering her the shrunken packages. "Keep them like this. They will be easy to conceal until you are ready. Simply point your wand and say, "Finite." That should cancel the charm keeping them small."
Aiden nodded, offering Sparrow a hand down and his arm as they prepared to leave.
"Love to your mother, dear boy," he said with a cheerful wave. | |

| "Ah, that should be easy enough," she replied, taking her significantly smaller packages back. They were much easier to handle now. She waved to the good gentleman. "Thank you for your hospitality sir," she said.
She took Aiden's help down, took the offered arm and then looked to Aiden, and Victoria. "Thank you both for being so kind to me. | |

| "You're welcome Miss--be sure you could come and visit us anytime you wish."
Aiden handed Sparrow a card.
"My address. Our maid might answer the door...but let her know you're my friend. Come visit."
He smiled, reluctant to let her go.
"I wish you could stay." | |
