Allison startled when Dylan spoke to her but it was only for a fraction of a second. "Hi," she said. "It's beautiful. I was just thinking how I wish Toby could see this. He'd love it. It's like a magical paradise, isn't it?"
She reluctantly turned her gaze from the park to Dylan, focusing on what he was saying. "Hogwarts is the school, right? Can't they let you come here for a night if your parents ask?" Allison frowned. "Seems wrong that they can't see this until they're finished with school."
Allison nodded. "I am, it's nice to be out of the house and out of my own thoughts. I'm driving myself quite mad sitting inside all day. I wish I had magic so I could go and make myself useful."
