Mo appreciated her sister's enthusiasm for her chances. One of them had to have a positive attitude. It made her feel better about the whole thing.

She had to laugh at Stella's thought process about the brooms. Their father was as good as useless when the two of them teamed up for something they wanted. A new broom might be as essential as a their wands for their first year of Hogwarts, how could he deny them that? "We just need to make sure Mama isn't around, I think she'd be harder to convince." Aoife Pendergast could even say no to their father's puppy dog eyes; who did that? "Maybe we could swing it after all. Perhaps we should try and swindle him into taking us shopping soon." She mused, setting her bow down to recover her arrows from the target.

With all of those things collected, she went to settle herself on the end of Stella's spot, running her hands down Orla's shaggy back as she got comfortable. "I think I might be more exited for school now." Which was good, it would help soothe the nerves.
