They do not know about it.

[She looks around at the items, hoping that it's somewhere among the markers and crayons.]

[thesmallesttrickster]

If you do not mind my asking, what is it?

[remembertheroses]

It is a, a li, lee, lit...I do not know how to say it!

[The last few words came bursting out before she buried her face in her hands, ashamed.]

[thesmallesttrickster]

[Loki pats her back kinda of awkwardly.]

Could you describe it? Or say it in your native language?

[remembertheroses]

[She swallowed her sob down and tried to describe it.]

Y-you use it to set things on f-f-fire. And to smoke.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Matches?

[remembertheroses]

[A shake of the head.]

[thesmallesttrickster]

A lighter?

[remembertheroses]

[Ib nods fervently.]

Yes. It is called a lighter. I lost it.

[thesmallesttrickster]

Why do you need a lighter when we are going to Hogwarts?

[remembertheroses]

It is...special to me. Not because it can light things, but because it, it is...

[She struggles to try and articulate exactly why the lighter was of such importance to her.]

It is, something special. Something that gives me feelings?

[thesmallesttrickster]

It makes you happy?

[remembertheroses]

A bit. And also very sad.

I don't know why. But it is special. And I cannot find it.
