Hey guys, sorry for the wait. No one gave me any requests, so I had to figure out what to write myself, lol. I decided to focus on our main character with a silly little thing that popped randomly in my mind. Hope you all enjoy. 3 Oh, also, I just wanted to mention I'm not that good at writing the characters yet, so any tips would be welcomed. There isn't a lot of fanfiction to help me figure it out sadly.

This Chapter: Assistant's love of tea is questioned, and a comforting conversation takes place when Assistant's parents are brought into the conversation.

It was a well known fact that Assistant loved tea. She drank it all the time, and Seaweed wondered why she hadn't yet exploded by all the tea she had taken in. Assistant liked normal tea, as well as some brands like Twinings and Harney & Sons. Whenever there wasn't tea in the house Assistant always went out to buy some. Seaweed knew that everyone liked some strange stuff, but she was curious about how this tea obsession has started. So, she had decided to ask.

"Assistant?" Seasweed asked, her legs folded over each other as she relax in the sun, a pair of glasses covering her face as she sipped lemonade. "Why do you like tea so much?" Assistant glanced up, frowning. She seemed to think Seaweed was making fun of her, not that it was much of a surprise, what with who Assistant lived with. "I'm just curious," Seaweed defended herself. If Assistant thought she was making fun of her, she wasn't going to tell her anything.

"I just like it?" Assistant offered with a shrug. "Why does anyone like anything? My mom liked it a lot, so I guess I got it from her." Assistant went quiet after that. She didn't like to talk about her parents much. Seaweed knew that she was kicked out because of her lack of magic, but other then that Assistant's issues with her parents had been a mystery to her. "My mom use to show me a whole bunch of different kinds," Assistant continued on quietly, to Seaweeds surprise. "Our love of tea was something we both shared. But when I got older and still hadn't gained my wand, she just kind of... stopped? I know it's stupid," Assistant added quickly. "It's just a drink."

"It's not stupid," Seaweed said with a shrug. She wasn't the best at comforting people, but she could try. "You cared about your parents, and they betrayed you, in a way." Assistant looked down, and to Seaweed's surprise she noticed she was crying. Great, this was her fault, wasn't it? A stupid question about tea had made her friend upset. Why didn't she just keep her mouth shut?

"They're my family," Assistant said, as she wiped away at her tears. She looked like she was going to continue on, but a sudden shout interrupted them.

"Assistant!" Wallis yelled from far away. "Get your butt over here! Don't be lazy- we have practicing to do!"

Assistant quickly wiped away the rest of her tears as she got to her feet, but she was stopped by Seaweed's hand on her arm. "Hey," Seaweed said, gaining Assistant's attention. "They were your family, and you'll always care about them, at least a bit. But we're your family now, alright? Wallis, Harold, Petunia, Hobo and I. We all care about you."

Assistant's answering smile made everything worth it.
