Dunvold was bad with choices too.

Here he stood at Fist Class Plane Ticket – which was neither first class, nor a plane of existence, nor sold tickets, but Dunvold had learned long ago that wizarding establishments had peculiar names. The shopkeeper, a hunched woman with seventeen pairs of spectacles perched atop her head like a glass crown, watched him with the patient resignation of someone who had seen this exact scene play out a thousand times before.

Left or right? Dark or light blue? The two vouchers sat on velvet cushions, each no bigger than a thumbnail, each humming with a different frequency that made his teeth itch.

croak said Tad, unhelpfully.

“I know. You’re hungry. I’m hurrying as fast as I can,” replied Dunvold, shifting the frog from his left shoulder to his right. Tad’s weight was negligible, but his opinions were heavy.

The dark blue voucher pulsed like a heartbeat – quick, insistent, urgent as a messenger sprinting through castle halls. The light blue one shimmered with barely contained chaos, like bottled lightning, like the heart of a storm, like the moment before a sneeze.

“Both have their merits,” the shopkeeper offered, adjusting three of her spectacles at once.

“That’s not helpful,” Dunvold muttered.

“Wasn’t trying to be helpful. Trying to be honest.” She tapped the counter. “You’ve got about thirty seconds before Rumor Woods closes and you’ll have to come back next year.”

Dunvold had to make a choice. Time was not on his side.

His hand hovered between them, trembling like a compass needle that couldn’t find north.

croak said Tad, and this time it sounded almost like a question.
