Carter was starting to really like Iana. She was sweet and fun to talk to. Plus, she was talking to Carter and listening, which was nice. Carter was typically awkward during the first interaction with someone, but Iana was easy for the girl to talk to.
"Five?" Carter's jaw went slack while listening to Iana talk about her family. She couldn't imagine having one sibling, let alone five. The house must have been so loud and wild, and Carter was sure not to thrive in such an environment. Granted, she had always wanted one sibling, but she knew that had never been in the cards. While her Papa never bad-mouthed her parents, her Nana had let her disdain for Scarlett be known. "You must have had so much fun growing up."
Carter nodded along while Iana described her family's connection to photography. It was cool listening to how Iana's Uncle was blind but still worked for the Daily Prophet. Nana had just sent Carter a letter about her father's current assignment and wondered if he had ever worked with this man. She should write to him and ask but wasn't sure if he would reply. Liam had always been more attentive to his wife than his daughter, and Carter wasn't sure if he would appreciate a letter from her.
"That's really cool. My father writes as a freelancer and is currently working on a shop review article for the Prophet, so I wonder if they have ever met! So, is your brother, Eddie, in this club too? I think it's really cool that your family has hobbies that line up. Papa and I go antique hunting together, but that's the closest I have to a hobby with family.
Carter smiled at the girl, looking around the room at the other students. "If I get an assignment, you have to promise to help me! I am so nervous about writing and could use help. Plus, when you put photography like that, maybe you could teach me a few things. Nothing too hard, but I think it could be fun to learn."
Carter was really starting to like Iana and hoping she had made her first real friend at Hogwarts!

After mentioning the number of siblings in the Overton house, Carter seemed genuinely surprised. Iana went through the family, then shrugged when the Gryffindor said she must've had so much fun growing up. "It was okay, I guess. I don't really know anything different." It wasn't like she had much choice either, because if she did, she'd have found a way to skip Linnie and Ceth's baby stage. They were always so gross! For her, even when she was little, she'd freak out over messes, much to her parents' chagrin.
As Iana spoke about how half their family had something to do with journalism. She was a bit surprised when Carter said her dad did work for the Daily Prophet as well. Iana nodded happily, wondering if Conner had met him before. At her next question, Iana gestured vaguely toward the sibling in mention, who looked over, a bit confused. "Ah... hello?" He gave an awkward wave as Carter continued on about familial hobbies. "Most of ours overlap somehow. Like Eddie here has a fascination with birds. He's usually out taking pictures of them." Iana explained, nodding along to it. Of all her siblings, she figured Eddie was the weirdest one, since he was weird about cameras too.
Iana offered a smile when Carter asked if she could help work on assignments for the paper. "Sure thing! We'd make for a good duo. And... hang on." She turned to her brother as she worked on her sad eyes. "Oh dearest Eddie, my favorite big brother. Would it be possible to borrow your Canon EOS R750? Pleeeeeaaaaase?" She bat her lashes as Eddie rolled his eyes to the ceiling. "I just got that one, so no. But you can borrow my Nikon, so long as you promise it gets back to me as well maintained as it is now." He pulled off his backpack, opening it to reveal multiple cameras and their various lenses. He lifted one out and attached a lens before giving it to his sister.
Iana spun back to Carter with a grin. "Ta-da! I knew he wouldn't give us his new one, so by asking, I guaranteed a camera for us to tinker with." She was glad she continued to play on Eddie's kindness. Thankfully, she was faced away when he sent over an annoyed look. "No, do not worry. I totally cannot hear you." Iana giggled at his words, hoping that Carter didn't think their family too weird.

Carter understood about not knowing any different. She felt the same way about being an only child. She couldn't even begin to fathom a life with siblings, but she guessed for Iana, it was the exact opposite. While Carter was so used to being alone, Iana was probably just as used to being surrounded by people.
When Carter realized that Eddie was standing right there and answered her, mentioning his name, she went crimson. Carter was never truly that great at social cues, but she should have noticed they were right next to each other and could have been siblings. When he waved at her, she waved back. However, Carter's interest was piqued by the mention of birds.
Cartered loved fun facts just as much as she hated riddles. It was one of the few things that kept her going in life. She wouldn't ask more while Iana talked to her; the prospect of making a friend was too important; she would ask about the birds later.
Carter laughed as she watched Iana make sad eyes at her brother. This was, yet again, something she didn't fully understand about siblings. Carter was almost fascinated as the girl took the Nikon from her brother, following up by saying she knew he would let her borrow it. Carter giggled with Iana as Eddie mentioned that he could hear Iana.
"I love your sibling dynamic." She giggled again. "You make me wish I had an older sibling. I could work like that." Carter nodded to the camera with narrowed eyes. "So, first question. I know he just attached a lens, but what did that change? Does it work like eyeglasses or a telescope?"
Carter looked down at her feet, hoping she didn't sound too stupid when asking such a fundamental question. "Sorry, I really don't know anything." Carter knew there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Asking questions was better than not. Still, she didn't like not seeming knowledgeable in front of her new friend.
