It goes both ways, I know. They like to use them against us, but it usually turns out poorly for the other side, doesn't it? Giving us a reason to fight that much harder.
The first time that photo appeared, it was about the camels and the pyramids and not the sunburned family in front of it. Probably just as well, though. The English shouldn't be out in sun like that for too long.
Egypt. I've never understood the fascination. Would that make one of the 'other things' men and women wearing kohl and gold then, I wonder? Or an over abundance of yellow. That would be a rather disheartening weakness, I think, but perhaps not entirely uncommon amongst those that spend a disproportionate amount of time under Oxford-grey skies.
As fond as I am of yellow, no. Definitely not one of my weaknesses. And seeing as this curse won't let me lie about those things? You can forget about your other theories, too.

As for Egypt, we were visiting my eldest brother. He worked there for a few years as a cursebreaker.
I'm the only girl there, apart from Mum. Of course it's me. We visited Egypt a little before I turned twelve years old, actually. So, yeah, quite young.

[Even without the help of the curse, she'd answer that with the same sureness and immediacy.]
We went through a lot together-me, him, and the rest of the DA. Sort of forms a bond you'd die for, as dramatic as that sounds.

How delightfully ironic, given the current circumstances.

[Like she is now.]
Bill's a talented wizard but I think even the City would be a little beyond him. Not that he's ever been here, even on a visitor's day.
