Henry hadn't spotted the look that Jacob had received, too focused on waiting for Aubrey to open the present. Would he like it, she hoped he would like it. Present finding wasn't easy, even if it was for her brother.
The eleven year old felt that she was smart. Maybe not as smart as the rich kids, but smart. After all, she had been reading from her older siblings school books. Even if she did have to ask Jacob what some of the words meant, she did try. One day she did hope to do something important. How would she do that without a proper education?
Watching as she shuffled with excitement, she tried not to make too much of a fuss while she watched him open it. Inside was a little charm with a lion. Metal, though not the greatest quality. A string was attached. "I know I'm the one going to Hogwarts, but I figured that you'd like something to remind you of your time there. Gryffindor is the one with the lion, right?" She said. Would she be in the same house? She wasn't really that brave, even if she was a bit brave.
