Who: Matilda Wormwood and YOU.
What: playing hopscotch with flying stones!
When: This afternoon.
Where: Near the garden!!
Rating: G
[ she should have asked if she was allowed to draw on the pavement near the garden. But Matilda had figured that if she wasn't, she'll wash the chalk away.
It was a good practice for her power more than just a game. She knew this was something many kids usually played together but having grown up the way she did, she didn't mind playing alone.
To those who might pass her she might seem like a true wonder. A small child in a blue dress making a stone rise into the air before it is elegantly placed down on a numbered square for her to hop on the other numbered blocks to get it back. After she retrieves it, she hops back only to lay it on the ground and make it float up and onto one of the chalk squares again.
She'll accept playmates. ]

"Did you know, hopscotch was first heard of in the seventeenth century in the Book of Games! And in Webster's merican Dictionary of the English language it was written that boys play this game but in my school, girls play it too.
I read about it in the library."

She visibly takes a step or two back, though, then circles around to glance down at the rock and the drawing, before quickly returning to Matilda to not let her out of sight. Who knows if she's even a real little girl?
"No, child, I did not," she finally murmurs out with a hint of wary amusement in her voice. "As I will not live to see that century unless I learn to wield magic as freely as you do."

She tries to think of an explanation but it's hard given the fact that she doesn't manage to explain it to herself.
"It's not a spell and I can't do other things, I can't...turn rabbits into pillows. Just this. It's my power."

"You use it merely to play games, then? But you still enjoy your books?"
