I'm surprised you can manage that. I would have been deeply frustrated with it long ago.

[ He rubs his Fawn mark before speaking again. ] I can - turn into an otter. It's a defense mechanism.

[brainiest]

Really? [ Hermione turns back to look at him, hair flying behind her a little like literal whiplash, and her eyes widen as she beams. ] So you can only do it when you're in danger, or is it any time at all? My patronus used to be an otter, you know - the animal that most fit who I was, I suppose, but it changed.

[axiomed]

I can do it at will, thankfully.

[ He'd be mortified if he turned into an otter whenever danger hailed. It was useful in the library, when many of the levels were submerged in water, but otherwise Charles pretended that he didn't have it. ]

[brainiest]

Me too. I don't think I've heard of anyone that couldn't do it willingly, but you never know. Magic is strange.

[axiomed]

[ He can't help but smile. ]

An interesting thing for a magic-user to say.

[brainiest]

A magic-user who started off not believing it was real. [ She smiles, shaking her head. ] Some of it is entirely logical, but some of it doesn't make sense, either. It's been harder than people realise for me to really wrap my mind around it, even if learning about it and studying has been wonderful.

[axiomed]

Then you weren't always a wizard?

[ How does one suddenly realize magic is real? Was it akin to the way mutants discover their own abilities? ]

[brainiest]

I think it's that I was always a witch, but I didn't know I was one until I got my letter for school. I just did little things like falling out of trees without getting hurt and growing hair without really understanding what was doing it.

[axiomed]

[ Wryly. ] I wish getting my powers was on the charming side.

[brainiest]

Imagine you came from a family that was highly religious or thought their child was sick and maybe - [ She purses her lips, shaking her head. ] I was incredibly lucky that my parents supported everything I did. They were more accepting than many of the wizards were.

[axiomed]

[ Ah. Prejudice is everywhere, it seems. ]

It must have been hard.

[brainiest]

It could have been worse.

[ It could have been a lot better, though, and she rubs her arm absently. ]

[axiomed]

So could many things. That doesn't mean it wasn't hard to go through.

[brainiest]

[ Her expression softens and she bites her lip - then, she shakes her head. ]

Thank you, Charles.

[axiomed]

[ He blinks before relaxing. ]

You're welcome.
