Upon arriving in her room Jewell waved the boys over to a window bench. When they had all gotten comfortable Fred blurted out, “Why you? What makes you so special?”
Jewell smiled at this question. “I don’t know. Charlie and I met on a fluke; I wasn’t supposed to see him, or what he was doing. At the time I was an unsuspecting Muggle; I shouldn’t have been able to see anything. But I did; and I saved his life. While he was speaking to me a dragon came up behind him and almost toasted him; but I tackled him first. Then I did the only logical thing to do; I approached the dragon and scratched it behind the ears. I named him Hazza; he lives on the reservation now.”
Fred and George stared at her with open mouths. ‘This girl is absolutely stark raving bonkers.’ George thought to himself. “So what house are you in, I haven’t ever seen you around.”
“Hufflepuff” she replied simply.
It was Fred’s turn to be astonished, “You mean to tell me that tackling grown men to the ground to save them from a fire-breathing dragon and then petting said dragon behind the ears to calm it down is normal Hufflepuff behavior?!”
“Well not normal really, no one else my age is a dragon worker. The only difference between Hufflepuffs and the other houses is that we don’t like to talk about our accomplishments. Take me for instance; unless someone directly asks me a question related to my work, I don’t talk about it. I feel like if I talk about it I’m boasting; and that’s not the type of person I am.” Jewell shrugged as if this was common knowledge.
George shook his head in bemusement, “You’re really something you know that?”
Jewell let out a hearty laugh, “That’s what Charlie tells me! Well boys this has been a lovely chat and all, but I’m gonna hit the sack. Tomorrow is vaccination day” Jewell changed her expression to one of fake cheeriness, “Which is always fun!” the sarcasm evident in her voice.
The boys chuckled and simultaneously called out, “Night Jewell!” as they exited her room. When George closed the door Jewell collapsed onto her bed, ‘Well that was exhausting’ She thought to herself. She sighed and heaved herself out of bed and changed into Kenmare Kestrels pajamas; her favorite Irish Quidditch team.

Author's Note:
Hello all! Just to let you know, the Kenmare Kestrals are a real Quidditch team. Sorry this chapter is short, I have been all over the place recently, and I haven't had internet. I kind of winged it for this chapter. Thank you all for reading! Also, I just realized I've been redundant.
