"Muggle is the term Wizarding folk use for non-magical folk, usually ones who know nothing about magic. I never said you weren't human," she said, trying to be less insulting. She hadn't meant to be insulting. She had been relieved thinking this was someone else from home.

A friend.

Was this what had happened to her brother? Was he trapped in some other place like she was now? Would Rowan and Ben and Penny ever find her?

Wait... could her brother... be here? That.... That would be.... She would give nearly anything to find her brother. If she vanished the way he had... he might be here!
