Order Only: Our kid's a wizard!

Guess who did his first accidental magic just now?

I was meeting with the Elders, and you know they like it when I bring Adam along with me so I had him wrapped up in the sling, and we were deep in the part that's yelling about things, which woke him up, and he must have decided the Galleons on the gold-table were shiny and he wanted to play with them, because the next thing I knew he had one in his hand and was chewing on it.

Griphook says that summoning gold for his first magic is even more of a reason for them to steal Adam and raise him as a Goblin. (He keeps threatening that. Trust me, it's a joke. And a compliment. He loves that kid.) And Elder Tcharg said that a wizard's first magic is like a Goblin's first creation, even if it happens earlier for us than it does for them, and since they were there for it, they want to hold a Forge-Blessing for Adam, which is huge -- it's not exactly like Adam being adopted by the Goblins, but it's like, oh, when Melli took Ragnik as an apprentice, something like that, only a bit more mystical.

(Tonks, I told them I couldn't say yes until I'd talked to you, but it would be the first time any human has ever been given a Forge-Blessing and it would make him a friend of the Goblin nation for life. Sort of like giving him a set of fairy godparents, only without the way that usually turns out in the stories.)
