Delphi closed her eyes for a moment while she was in flavor county, simply enjoying the moment before hearing,
"You know that's bad for you, my father tells me smoking kills people. Do you have a death wish?"
Delphi opened her eyes suddenly and quickly looked around for the source of the voice. Looking left and right she saw nothing until she looked downward, seeing a young boy beside her. Somewhat irritated at being interrupted she at first was tempted to tell the kid to mind his own business. However she regained her composure with one last puff and decided to go easy on the kid, after all he barely looked school age.
"As you get older kid you will learn that you will never have any fun in life if you don't do something bad for you once and a while" she said before noticing the young kid was fixated on what was in her other hand. Presumably the kid spent his life only amongst wizards.
"Never seen a lighter before?" she asked him before flicking it on and producing a small flame.

"Never seen a lighter before?"
Scorpius's gaze steadied on the glowing ball of fire as it had disappeared and reappeared from the stick in the young woman's hand. He shook his head back and forth in response to her question. Of course living in the wizarding world, it was not strange for someone to conjure fire and flames from magic. It was the vibe that this item gave off, just as eerie as the vibe this woman gave him. He couldn't explain it, but Scorpius knew the feeling wasn't normal.
"Who are you?" Scorpius asked, his voice cutting the air between them like a blunt knife as his curious eyes traveled from the lighter up to the strange woman's face.

"Who are you?"
"Me?" Delphi asked, "I'm just a visitor from across the pond for the Triwizard Tournament" she said flatly, not feeling it important to introduce herself just yet to the kid in order to build up some more mystique.
"If I knew I would have an audience I would have brought some more muggle trinkets to show off" Delphi said with a slight smile as the young boy seemed to be fascinated by the lighter and herself. "Sometimes it is easier and faster to just flick a switch or press a button than to do all sorts of foolish wand waving and mumbling nonsense at times."

"If I knew I would have an audience I would have brought some more muggle trinkets to show off" "Sometimes it is easier and faster to just flick a switch or press a button than to do all sorts of foolish wand waving and mumbling nonsense at times."
Muggle trinkets? This visitor had encased Scorpius's complete attention as her ways seemed so foreign to him. Muggle acceptance had been embraced positively throughout the years since the Battle Of Hogwarts ended, yet he grew up in a family where the concept was never discussed or bothered with. He wondered what his father's view on the matter was now, in this day and age. Regardless, Scorpius remained curious as he pressed forward with questions.
"You live with them then, Muggles?" Scorpius asked his eyes peering up at the young adult woman, "Isn't it strange living with non magic folk? What do you even have in common?"

*** Morgana and Sherlock enter from Tomes and Scrolls ***
Hogsmeade was like the perfect winter village you would find in a snow globe at Christmas. The tops of the shops and landscape were perfectly frosted with snow and icicles all around with gleeful children bobbing in and out of stores with their purchases either unique or delectable. Morgana and Sherlock's purchase was about to transport them to a world far away from theirs, and she could barely contain her excitement. Grasping onto Sherlock's fingers in one and and their newly purchased book in the other, Morgana lead the way to a quiet and secluded bench on the outskirts of the little village.
"This is it! Here's the spot," Morgana gently let go of Sherlock's hand as it retreated to his side. Grasping onto the book with both arms tightly to her winter coat dressed chest, she plopped herself down on the bench and began to make herself comfortable. She peered down, holding the book out in front of her between her mittens, "So, have you always been a bilingual master or am I just learning now about just how amazing you are?" Morgana chuckled lightly as she stared at the cover of the book, her eyes full of stars as they were about to dive in.

"This is it! Here's the spot," "You didn’t exaggerate when you told me about this place, my dear." Sherlock, always had been taught to act like a gentleman, waited until Morgana had sat down before he sat down himself. "So, have you always been a bilingual master or am I just learning now about just how amazing you are?" "A master? Well, I do not dare to call myself a master…" He stopped speaking all of a sudden when he finally understood what she else was saying and tried his best not to blush. Luckily it worked. "And the last thing I would say about myself is that I am amazing. I am thankful that you called me so but I know that many people are able to speak more than just one language. It is an outcome of many hours of study. Everybody can reach this goal." The young man didn’t want to embarrass the young woman. Maybe she just wanted to make him a compliment. But Sherlock wasn’t used to those kind of manners.

Morgana glanced at Sherlock from the side as he finally sat down next to her. She reveled inwardly in awe of his humbleness and smiled. He couldn't possibly be blinded by himself to realize just how grand of a wizard he truly was. Most of the other boys in their house could definitely take a gentleman lesson or two from him, that was certain. "I've done a lot of reading in my life, but I haven't been much of a dabbler in learning languages, not until now at least," Morgana pointed her gaze directly on the book that she still held in her hands, her dark brown locks of hair brushed against her cheeks, "So where do we start, my friend? Chapter one?" Morgana inquired as she lifted the cover to take a peek inside of the book's contents.

"You live with them then, Muggles? Isn't it strange living with non magic folk? What do you even have in common?"
"I have lived among wizards most of my early life. Rarely even left the house I lived in until I was old enough to go to school. However my occupation once took me into the muggle world. I have to admit it was a little strange at first but you get used to it after some time. Now I bounce back and forth between living with wizards and muggles looking for work. Muggle money spends just as well as wizard money in most cases" Delphi said as she finished her cigarette.

"I've done a lot of reading in my life, but I haven't been much of a dabbler in learning languages, not until now at least," Saying out loud that she wasn’t used to speak many languages was nothing to be blamed for. Maybe he wouldn’t be able to do so if his mother had not teached him some languages. But nobody forced him to do s. He just wanted to.
"So where do we start, my friend? Chapter one?" And then she showed her kind of enthusiasm. To be honest he loved this. He watched her taking a look at the first pages for a minute before he reached out his hand to close the book gently. "We should start with teaching you the most important vocabulary to really understand the story." He took the book out of her hands and browsed the pages until he found the most important word. "Fine, here it is," he said and showed it to Morgana. He pointed his finger at the word Zwilling. "This one means twin. So a 'Zwilling' is not just a doppelganger - it is a twin, someone related to your blood. This book is a story about twins that do not know each other before they met each other fortuitous." He stopped for a moment and took a deep breath before he looked straight into her eyes. "Morgana, I think this story probably can help you to go through your own situation…" Again he stopped speaking. This time because he noticed that she could maybe get him wrong when they would enter the part in which the twins switched their places and fooled their parents by pretending do be their doppelganger. "Do not get me wrong, my dear. I do not want to say you should act like the protagonists. But you should learn that you are not alone and that incidents like the one you are concerned in may not only happen to you."
Another short break. Suddenly he took her hand and into his one and looked at her seriously. "I am here for you. I will listen to you. I will give you a shoulder to lean on whenever you need one. I am your friend, Morgana. Your ally. Your confidant... if you will let me be."

"What kind of occupation would make you do that?" Scorpius cocked his head to the side slightly in a curious manner. He had never heard of another wizard's job intertwining with Muggles, not a upscale, high paying job that is. Let alone a wizard who vastly enjoyed both worlds as he had always believed that their wizarding world was simply above non magic folk. Of course, Draco never lead him to believe these assumptions as prejudice against Muggles was strongly disagreed with since the Battle Of Hogwarts ended. Yet, his father never put a stop to this sort of belief either.

"This one means twin. So a 'Zwilling' is not just a doppelganger - it is a twin, someone related to your blood. This book is a story about twins that do not know each other before they met each other fortuitous."
"Morgana, I think this story probably can help you to go through your own situation…"
Morgana's eyes departed from the book's page only to meet Sherlock's gaze that held tightly onto hers. Morgana's own eyes were filled with a mix of emotions, and she believed that they were very readable to her friend as she did not exert any energy she had left to hide them. No matter what they did or how hard she tried to distract herself, the events happening in her life were larger than she wanted to admit. Morgana remained silent as she became like the inanimate object in Sherlock's hands - an open book willing to listen to the reader speaking aloud.
"I am here for you. I will listen to you. I will give you a shoulder to lean on whenever you need one. I am your friend, Morgana. Your ally. Your confidant... if you will let me be."
Morgana's grin alone was warm enough to melt the the fluffy snowflakes that pattered lightly against her face. She allowed Sherlock's hands to reside over hers for a moment more before returning her silent expression of gratitude back to the pages of the book, "So, these twins-erm, Zwillings," Morgana looked back at Sherlock for a shred of approval as she was not confident in her pronunciation abilities quite yet, "Did they share an instant connection? Or were they too different, and allowed their different worlds to fizzle the spark?" Morgana asked Sherlock, as she spoke from her own fears. She wasn't afraid of exploring a connection with Ellie, yet those who were a part of her life usually left her at some point. Morgana naturally feared the worst if she were to grow close to this twin.

It felt good to make her smile. She mostly appeared to be very serious – just like himself. So he knew that this rare smiles were very true and somehow precious.
"So, these twins-erm, Zwillings," He noticed her look. "Very good. But if you are talking about more than one you have to say Zwillinge instead of Zwillings. I am sorry but German language is not the easiest one." "Did they share an instant connection? Or were they too different, and allowed their different worlds to fizzle the spark?" "Of course, they are different from each other due to their different circumstances of life. But they share a very deep connection even if they did not know each other before. They are twins." Sherlock stopped for a short moment. He didn’t even have a sibling so he hoped that Morgana didn’t think that he was speaking about something he couldn’t even imagine. "I want to be honest to you. I am an only child and I am very sure that I got no unknown siblings. But I do my best trying to understand how it had to feel like for you. To me it seems that you got mostly fears when you think about your connection to Ellie." He gently closed the book before he went on speaking because he didn’t want her to be distracted by anything. "I can reasure you that Ellie is a very kind person. I think one had to be a very stupid idiot – pardon me, please, that I am using expletives – to not get on well with her." It was obvious that Sherlock was a bit embarrassed that he used swearwords. Normally he didn’t do so. "But, well, let me tell you something else. I have once read that there had been several studies which proved that a special connection between twins really exists – no matter if they had been grown up together or not." Again he hold her hands in his ones, this time without even noticing it. "It is okay to be worried about this new unexpected situation. It even is logical that you are feeling this way. But I am very sure that there is no need for sorrows. You and Ellie – you two are sharing something which most people would never know how it had to feel like. You two are blessed with something special and valuable."

*** Ellie and Dray entered from Tomes And Scrolls a while ago already ***
The two girls had left the shop a while ago already. Ellie had led her best friend and also girlfriend into a corner where there weren't too many people around. She had never really felt uncomfortable towards people but, right now, Ellie didn't want to be close to anyone except for Dray. She wasn't feeling sick anymore, but this feeling of deep grief and... kind of darkness... was still covering her up like a big cloud the sun.
"Sorry I dragged you along...", she eventually said, even her voice somehow different, or maybe just not with its usual tone of easygoingness.

"Sorry I dragged you along..." Dray reached out and stroked Ellie's cheek, she wanted to make her feel better.
"You never have to be sorry, I'm here for you. Whatever you need you just tell me, alright?" Dray leaned in and pressed a kiss to her forehead. She knew this was a lot for Ellie, she was feeling a lot of things. "You want to talk about it?"

"What kind of occupation would make you do that?
Delphi paused as the young kid asked his question. Obviously she didn't want to talk about some of her less than legal exploits or functions of her "occupation".
"Well," she stammered, trying to carefully select her words in a manner that would satisfy the boy's knowledge but not give away too much information. "Say you want something done but you are unable to do it yourself. I could be the kind of person that you would hire to do it for you. Right now I am assisting the Illvermorny champions because the headmaster couldn't come all the way over here at the time" she said, hoping they boy would understand.

You and Ellie – you two are sharing something which most people would never know how it had to feel like. You two are blessed with something special and valuable."
"To be frank," Morgana finally piped up as she folded her hands over the book sprawled open on her lap, adjusting herself in her seat to face Sherlock. Her pleasant smile turned rather seldom as she was drawn back into her serious nature, "I really don't know what to make of it - not yet. She really does look like me but, to be connected by blood?" Morgana questioned this as if it were merely impossible. The multitude of questions came back to circle her head again. She knew her mother wasn't the greatest, but to keep something like this locked away from her for the entirety of her life? What did all of this mean? Morgana knew she would see Ellie again before the tournament started, and before anything they needed to really sit down and have a talk. As much as Morgana did not want to be in this tournament, she had to face the music and be the best she possibly could for Dray until everything got sorted out and be on her way back to her normal life. Starting with clearing the air with her surprise doppelganger. "What we shared back there was unlike anything I had ever experienced before in my life. You really think there is more to all of this?" Morgana asked Sherlock quite hesitantly as she already knew his answer, she was just having trouble coming to terms with facing the unknown.

"Interesting," Scorpius nodded as if he understood, when really he hadn't the slightest clue. Though, if this woman was doing tasks and jobs that others clearly could not, perhaps she was very smart. Maybe even smart enough to find information on others without them even knowing. The colourful haired woman smoking unapologetically outside the bar was a mystery, and Scorpius figured perhaps being a mystery was apart of her job. As if she had a cover she couldn't afford to blow, "Well, if you're looking for any side jobs while you're here, my dad's been working on a ... little project. Been doing some poking and prodding, but not making too much headway at the moment. Not until I show him this," Scorpius ended his sentence mischievously as he reached into the deep pocket of his jacket and retrieved the journal with Anya's name within it. He gazed down at it for a moment before allowing it to dissapear back into his jacket "He's one of the Governors of the school, I'm sure the rewards would be worth anyone's while." Scorpius boasted as he panned his gaze around the village nonchalantly, making their talk appear as if he wasn't up to something.

Yet again Morgana turned back to her normal serious tone. It was okay because it was her usual way of manner. And Sherlock behaved similar to it most of the time, too. He didn’t blame her for doing so. Actually this was one of the reasons why he liked her that much. "To be frank," "I really don't know what to make of it - not yet. She really does look like me but, to be connected by blood?" Sherlock kept in silence. He knew that this hadn’t been a real question. Morgana was facing her own thoughts by speaking them out loud. "What we shared back there was unlike anything I had ever experienced before in my life. You really think there is more to all of this?" But at least this one was a real question. "To be honest," he started to give her an answer while he also reached out to her hands, "Yes, I believe that this is more than an improbable coincidence. We should try to get the facts to see what will be left after we would have consider everything possible…" He paused for a moment and suddenly there was a glint in his eyes and a smile on his lips. "Or let me say it again with the words Arthur Conan Doyle used through the mouth of Sherlock Holmes - 'When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'" Suddenly he had to laugh. "I am sorry. It is just… Well, pardon me. From the first time my father had told me the stories of the Master Detective I was fascinated by this statement. So I could not resist to use it now. But, if you try to be really honest, you might have to admit that this is, in fact, the truth."

Ellie wanted to smile at her but wasn't even able to do that. All she came up with was a poor attempt that was rather to reassure that she was doing fine and that Dray should not worry too much. That was a lie though, as Ellie had never felt more miserable. Or had she just never really felt miserable before? Ugh - she just wanted to quietly exist until this feeling would be gone. Hopefully, it would.
"You never have to be sorry, I'm here for you. Whatever you need you just tell me, alright?" When Dray pressed a kiss on her forehead, her smile felt more real for a little moment, at least. "You want to talk about it?"
Ellie was staring at the ground for some more seconds before she finally reacted with a counter-question. "Have you ever felt something like a deep-seated sorrow that you didn't know where it came from? Sorry, I must sound like I'm having a mental breakdown." There was another question on her mind that she didn't dare to ask, though. Have you ever felt like a feeling wasn't coming from yourself but someone else?

"Well, if you're looking for any side jobs while you're here, my dad's been working on a little side project."Delphi listened half interested in the young boy as he pulled out a book from his coat. She couldn't tell what it was from the glimpse of it but figured it was related to school work, answers to a test or some other cheating method that kids did, after all she herself was a school girl just a few years ago. "He's one of the Governors of the school, I'm sure the rewards would be worth anyone's while."Delphi listened to the young continued to listen casually to the young boy until he mentioned this. What is this? A chance to make money perhaps? She looked at the boy more closely. With this new information and judging by the boys fine clothing he certainly must belong to a prominent family. While looking after the Illvermorny champions was her priority having a chance to make some extra money on the side shouldn't be that distracting, should it? "Really?" Delphi asked, her interest quite piqued with this new information. "I'll be certain to try have a talk with him later on at the castle" she said with a slight smile looking downward at her new friend.

"Have you ever felt something like a deep-seated sorrow that you didn't know where it came from? Sorry, I must sound like I'm having a mental breakdown."
"You found out some life-changing shite, Ellie. It's okay to feel the way you are feeling," Dray just held onto Ellie and gave her another kiss on the cheek. She wanted to make Ellie feel better but she didn't know if she could- not this time.

"Or let me say it again with the words Arthur Conan Doyle used through the mouth of Sherlock Holmes - 'When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'"
"I am sorry. It is just… Well, pardon me. From the first time my father had told me the stories of the Master Detective I was fascinated by this statement. So I could not resist to use it now. But, if you try to be really honest, you might have to admit that this is, in fact, the truth."
A warm smile began to form on Morgana's face once again at the sound of Sherlock's laugh that chimed through the winter wind that was beginning to pick up slightly. The fact that he was making an effort to show her the silver lining of every situation was heartwarming to Morgana. No one had ever truly taken the time to do that for her before, not until she met Sherlock.
"Spoiler alert," Morgana jokingly scolded bashfully as she took one of her fingers and playfully poked Sherlocks side before composing herself in a more serious, yet generous manner, "Thanks, Sherlock, you always know what to say to make me feel sane again," Morgana expressed her gratitude to her long time friend. Even if it was just a mere, small gesture she was grateful for all of it. She was grateful for him.

"I'll be certain to try have a talk with him later on at the castle"
"I'll make sure to slip in a good word," Scorpius nodded, looking forward among the students passing by as if he just sealed some sort of secret deal. Whoever this woman was, he liked her. For once, someone talked to Scorpius as if he wasn't just some dumb blonde kid. For once, someone took into account of what he was saying to be of some sort of value. This woman talked to him as if he was...a friend.
"You seem pretty cool, erm...," Scorpius complimented his newfound friend before peering up to her in sudden puzzlement. She hadn't given him her name, so he wasn't sure what exactly to call her. Not that it was any of his business or concern, really, he was just a nosy bugger.

"You found out some life-changing shite, Ellie. It's okay to feel the way you are feeling,""Yah, true, but...," she replied, unsure if she really should speak out loud what she was thinking. The kiss on her cheek seemed to be the push that made her do exactly that, after all. Dray was the one person she could trust the most, along with her father. And then suddenly she felt something like a stab in her heart. Her father had been lying to her all these years. There must be a good reason for that, though - there had to be.
"What if we shouldn't have met? Her and me, I mean. What if there is a reason our parents hadn't told us." Anyone who knew Ellie good enough might be wondering where this sudden pessimism was coming from.

"You seem pretty cool, erm..."
Delphi looked down at the puzzled look of her new young friend before answering,
"Delphini, but most people just call me Delphi for short." Delphi didn't give him a surname, not knowing how he would react if she gave he surname, or even if he would know who the Rowles were and decided not to take the chance.
"So when I get back to the castle who should I ask for to meet your father?" she asked in an attempt to steer the conversation away from her.

"Spoiler alert," Sherlock had to give a short laugh that ended up in a surprised "Ouch". She didn’t hurt him with her finger when she poked his side but he didn’t expect it. "Thanks, Sherlock, you always know what to say to make me feel sane again," "You are welcome, Morgana. That it what friends are for. I am very sure you would do the same for me." It was good that she was able to smile again. If he only could switch their positions he would do it and fight her battles instead. She didn’t ask for anything that happened around her and turned her world upside down. But Sherlock knew that she was strong enough to face all of this. And if she sometimes needed someone to give her a push or to encourage her, he would be at her side.
"I think it had been enough for today. The book will wait for us," he said while he moved up a bit closer to her and put his arm around her shoulders and back. "Do you like hot chocolate and cookies? We could walk around and see if we find a place where we get some."

"Delphini, but most people just call me Delphi for short."
"Delphi...," Scorpius repeated back as if he was recalling the name into his memory, though he couldn't possibly say that he had ever heard of such a name before "...Cool name! I'm Scorpius," Introductions in order, Scorpius still couldn't shake the mysterious vibe that she tended to give off, yet there was something about it that he fell to respect. He wasn't sure what it was, if she reminded him of someone or something. But he thought she was pretty rad and wanted to impress her at all costs.
"So when I get back to the castle who should I ask for to meet your father?"
"You won't have to go to far lengths to find him, of course, he's always seen walking the corridors between tasks. I do remember him talking about sitting in with the Headmaster of Durmstrang at dinner in the Great Hall tonight to oversee a few tournament related regulations, you could probably catch him afterwards," Scorpius offered the information to Delphi. He felt valued at the importance he perceived that she was holding him at and beamed in confidence as no other adult typically confided or talked to him with such uphold, "His name is Draco Malfoy."

"I think it had been enough for today. The book will wait for us," "Do you like hot chocolate and cookies? We could walk around and see if we find a place where we get some."
"Add whipping cream and cinnamon and I'm all in," Morgana began to bring herself to her feet at the mention of snacks and refreshments. They had been indulging in their conversation so deeply that Morgana didn't realize just how cold the air had gotten until she stood upright into the cheek lashing wind. Her gaze tilted down the pathway and back into the winter village at the line up of shops and the students bobbing in and out of them with their sweets, treats and purchases. Raising her mittens to the scarf around her neck, she pulled it up a tad more to shield her skin from the harsh cold before returning her gaze back to Sherlock who was also preparing to evacuate the space.

"What if we shouldn't have met? Her and me, I mean. What if there is a reason our parents hadn't told us." Dray cupped Ellie's face and smiled.
"No way this was meant to be," Whatever reason this happened, it was meant to happen and Dray was certain of it. "You two are sisters and you should have never been separated." Dray had no idea if she was right but she knew this was meant to be.

Of course, she liked hot chocolate. Nearly everybody did. "Add whipping cream and cinnamon and I'm all in," "Whatever you wish, my dear," he gave back with a charming smile and also started to stood up. He watched her while she prepared herself to face the cold. Somehow it seemed that it had become more cold during the last hours – but somewhere inside he felt strangely warm. "Maybe we should sit down at a fireside back at Hogwarts in the evening to warm up. We could have tea and cookies if you like. I still have some from my mother’s last packet." Sherlock offered Morgana his arm so that she could tuck her arm into his. "But for the moment we should find a warm and comfy place and hot chocolate for you – with whipping cream and cinnamon, of course."
