China Dolls and Early Meetings
Ophelia listened to the other children, already telling that her brother and the older boy would get along just fine as they talked about quidditch, which the girl still didn't know much about. She knew her brother loved it, for his eyes would sparkle when he talked about it. He was very passionate, which made him likable. Johnathan smiled. "I'm probably going to be in Slytherin, like all of my family. And I wouldn't mind that at all, and my second choice would be Gryffindor, although I'm sure my parents wouldn't be too happy with that," he said with a chuckle, scratching the back of his neck. Ophelia's eyes brightened up ever so slightly as she looked at the silent boy. So he liked books too! That was nice, someone who had common interests. They were similar, in a way. Both of them were quiet as a mouse, and shy. Or at least it seemed that way to the five year old.
Johnathan nodded, a little frown appearing on his face. "Yes, unfortunately. I do find them boring, but I don't mind knowing things, although I'd rather go outside. We have pretty much the same lessons, except muggle studies," The boy said as he squeezed Ophelia's hand. She had been looking at her feet. She looked up in shock at the temperamental girl, her hand flying to her mouth. That word was forbidden! Any curse words and they'd get a telling to. She still didn't know what they meant, but she knew they weren't nice. Johnathan's eyes widened as well, not expecting something like that to come out of a six year old's mouth. He shook his head. "No need to apologize, and yeah! I'd like that! We do have some spare brooms in the garden shed," he said excitedly. Ophelia watched the girl walk away, still a bit scared of her. She seemed angry. She sighed before looking over at Henry, who had spoken to her. She turned to face him, her face going a bit pale. Oh no, she had to speak! She politely smiled. "Oh, I don't really have favorites, but reading about fantasy makes me happy, although I am fine with any genre," she said, her voice surprisingly clear as well as soft. She tried not to cower away from shyness, but she couldn't help but look at the floor while Johnathan squeezed her hand in reassurance. The little girl hardly spoke unless she was needed or permitted to, so hearing her speak was quite rare.

China Dolls and Early Meetings
Henry looked up and saw his older brother beaming as he sold " well no matter the house that your get sorted into, I would still have to hang out with you at Hogwarts," Arthur kept his arm around Henry's shoulders as they six year old held his hands at his side and looked at the other two kids and silently wonder how his brother was so good at social interactions and being friendly. Annabeth meanwhile kept her arms crossed and rolled her eyes as he was a few feet away from her brothers and even once and a while she seemed to mutter " when cann we leave," in a low and not very audible voice.
As Arthur was just happy to make a new friend as he replied to Jonathan again " our lessons are a bit dull to but our father thinks their necessary and our mum especially thinks muggle studies; uh like math and reading are necessary," Arthur squeezed Henry's shoulders a bit ad Jonathon spoke again and Arthur then reply clearing enjoying this conversation " then maybe later we can go get then and race each other around the uh garden or grounds maybe?" Arthur was beaming at the thought of flying meanwhile Henry was too interested in flying ad he heard Ophelia answer him and felt a squeeze on his shoulders from his older brother as he replied, still worried about his stutter, " t..that's cool, I like f...fantasy to. B..but I also enjoy a..adventure and any g..genre r..r..really," Henry hated to speak when he did he more than likely stuttered and others would make fun of him for the fact usually.
@Ophelia Bordeaux sorry for the wait

Ophelia watched as her brother beamed. That was kind of Arthur to say to Johnathan. The eldest brother of the three children seemed very kind, the way he handled his siblings and the people around him. Very kind indeed. Johnathan seemed to have taking a liking to him, maybe gaining a new friend and a person to know when he went off to Hogwarts. God, Ophelia would have to wait a long while to go, which she didn't think was fair. Why eleven? That seemed so old. She could tell so far that she liked the two boys, but the girl scared her ever so slightly. She seemed intense and annoyed about the whole situation she was in. Ophelia didn't know why she frightened her so, but she felt as though she needed to calm down just a bit.
Johnathan nodded slightly. "I understand that. Our parents are very adamant on magic history, but I'm not exactly sure the reason," he said with a small shrug. Ophelia nodded. She didn't know why, either, but her parents were very strict about teaching their children about the history of the wizarding world. Oh well, she was sure they'd tell her eventually why. Johnathan nodded again with a grin. "That sounds fun, why not," he said excitedly. Ophelia never understood why her brother loved flying so much. She was always worried that he would fall, and he had a couple of times. but he didn't fall too bad. Ophelia turned to the stuttering Henry and smiled shyly while gripping onto Johnathan's hand with her tiny one. "Adventure is interesting as well,"she said quietly, feeling shy all of a sudden once more. She didn't like being shy, but she could never not be.

Henry looked up at his brother smiling and silently wonder how was he so good at socializing and making friends as Arthur squeezed Henry's shoulder and replied to Johnathon while smiling " sounds great I can't wait to race and fly with you later," Arthur seemed happy to gain a friend and couldn't wait to attend Hogwarts with the boy as Arthur spoke again " would you mind if I call you John? Maybe we can hang out again after tonight?" Just because Arthur was older than the boy didn't mean he cared, he only saw the prospect of having a new friend while Annabeth muttered " tis party stopid, where thee presants!" Annabeth then marched away as Arthur quickly spoke when she left " I'm sorry again about her."
However Henry was trying to find the courage to answer Ophelia and after a few minutes and Arthur still squeezing his shoulders, the young boy spoke " Ophelia, I d..don't know if you l..like f..flying but while they g..go f..flying would you like t..to r..read books with m..me?" Henry for a six year old was this really anxious and awkward about his stutter so he stood in his toes as he pulled on Arthur's suit which made the him bend down a few inches has Henry spoke in his ear so only Arthur could hear " c..could you t..tell them about m..my s..stutter," Henry landed back on his feet as Arthur stepped behind Henry and wrapped both of his arms around his shoulders as his hands connected in the middle of Henry's chest.
Henry grabbed hold of his brother's hands in front of him as you can now see the bond that these two have as Arthur spoke " my brother has a bit of a speech problem that's why he stutters but he works and gets better at it everyday. He would just like to know if it bothers you or anything?" Henry gave the two a small smile as he leaned his head back on Arthur.
