Sadie took the offered photo gently, as if she could shatter it just by touching it. Something in the air between them felt so electric, so fragile that she felt like they were teetering on the edge of something big. What that was, she had no idea, but she couldn't ignore it like she had his other comment.
Bringing the photo up closer to look at it carefully, Sadie realized she had that same wave of recognition that she often had around Hogsmeade. She looked at each face carefully, finding Mr. Hatchitt's among his family easily, but those surrounding him were so familiar. Sadie could clearly see Mrs. Hatchitt's smile in her memory, could almost hear her voice asking if she wanted a cookie or something cold to drink. She ran her thumb gently over the glass, looking up at Mr. Hatchitt carefully. Her eyes were wide and brows furrowed, lips pressed together in thought.
"Yes," she breathed out. "I don't understand why, though." Sadie confessed warily. "It doesn't make any sense." As far as she knew, she'd never been to Hogsmeade before, had certainly never met his mother, or anyone else in this photo before, but she knew them, somehow.
