[She's got a Forge again, but she can't find her mother's wand. And there are bars here that she can't quite slip through, even though she's trying. By the fifth try she's frustrated. And a little stuck. And now she's dropped the little device on the other side of those bars, and hey, it's turning on

[ a mass amount of children? well, that isn't anything new. war makes orphans of children. she cares, of course - but her energy must be placed elsewhere. she must trust others to be guided by their sense of nobility. that all said: screaming children. they suck. ]

Be silent, little one.

action!!

[healful]

[ tiny, why would she have a wand... ]

Should I?

Re: action!!

[lestrangestone]

[Because she just DID MAGIC. How else is she suddenly out of the grasp of those stupid bars? Giving the bars a kick right now, btw.]

Yes!

[What she really means is maybe, but she's busy looking for her wand the wand she filched from her mum.]

Accio wand?

A-accio Mother's Wand!

[Derp. Here it comes. Duck?]

action!!

[healful]

[ oh, snap. suddenly, a flying stick. shirley ducks down to avoid being smacked in the throat. she glances to bellatrix. ]

I have never used such a thing.

[GASP. Open mouthed stare.

Well, duh. Of course the most powerful witch here would help her - she's a Black! She's important! Who needs wands, even.

Shirley certainly doesn't!]

[Also grabbing the wand from the air. And hfdkhsk reaching up for Shirley's hand with the other.]

Are you going to tell?

[Oh, look. Stairs.]

❤

[healful]

[ allowing bella to hold her hand. it doesn't even bother her, really. ]

And why would I do such a thing?

djfdjlf what is smalltext /sob

[Thinkyface. Climbing steps. Side-eyes.]

You wouldn't. [?]

[It only sounds kind of forceful. She doesn't want it to be a question, but IT IS. Damn if her voice doesn't rise up at the end, there.]

I'm not old enough.

[Pout. Trudge. Pout.]

pft. DON'T NEED IT.

[healful]

[ your mother is weird, tiny. shirley has never heard of limitations on a child's magic use; magic is how one survives the day to day, and mastering it as quickly as possible is a necessity. and she uses a stick! not a staff but a stick. ]

One is never too young to learn and practice.

[Hey, a stick is sort of like a wand! But she likes this answer, and she's alternating between a pleased smile and a curious (slightly mischievous) side-eye as they step out into open air.

Yeah, she's kind of flicking the wand around.

Twirltwirltwirl.]

That's what I think, too!

[healful]

Do not let others tell you otherwise.

[ gj, shirley. encouraging dangerous behavior from tinies. ]

[lestrangestone]

[Yesyes good job. Because she is racing a couple steps ahead of you now and slashing at the air like Zorro. Only she is making a B. In the air. With her---]

Look what I can---
