The nymphs jump into immediate action. Hissing, waving miniature tridents in their arms and jumping into the canoe to create a barrier between Joel and Nerium. They are unused to visitors. Even Nerium's grandmother did not venture here, considering it too much of whimsy and nonsense.
Nerium waves them away. "Go back on your way." She shoos them into the water, "He is of no harm", and draws her head from the book to look across the pond at him.
"It is far too black and white. Evil Slytherin. Villainous Dark Lord. Perhaps the later books will offer greater intricacies."
She places the book down in the canoe, which floats nearer to the shore. "How did you find me here?"
