Bella is picked up from Charlie's house at the end of the summer, her visits with various people and her other parents having concluded a couple of weeks previous. She feels very worldly as she gets on the bus and is inspected by the new sixth-graders. The bus trundles along to the Bay Cauldron, and she does her shopping, and helps one of those sixth-graders pick an owl, and then they all arrive at ACAAM.

She goes to her and Sherlock's room to drop off her belongings and let Euterpe out.

"I wonder what Tony does. Even though she's not done yet." Bella puts the owl Patronus on her shoulder and Euterpe trills curiously. "I will ask her at breakfast or Charms." And she sets about getting ready for the day.

The owl Patronus dissolves; Sherlock goes to breakfast with Bella.

Tony greets them with, "You did it, didn't you?"

[nobodyelse]

"I did."

"It's a cute tiny owl!" Bella reports. "Hey, what do you concentrate on when you're practicing?"

[sparksflying]

"Thing...s," says Tony vaguely. "Stuff."

[occluminous]

"All different stuff like Feral?" Bella guesses.

[sparksflying]

"Yyyyes. Sure. Yeah."

Bella is not convinced that this is the whole story, but it's kind of a personal question, so she drops it.
