Jason knew she was already more than that. He knew what it was like to be dismissed, and used, and have bad luck in life. He knew what it was like to get the short straw, and he never saw Janet as less because of that. He saw her heart before she even knew she had one or could grow one. Ultimately, she evolved. She grew a heart and a soul and a mind of her own because Jason believed she already had all of these things. Believed she was already an important being of existence, who could feel and care and love, because anyone can, surely. Even the ones not even programmed to. In his own way, Jason knew that everyone could evolve.

He saw her and let her have space and a voice in his life and around him at all times. He respected her, from being a being of knowledge to a proud not a girl. He never dismissed her, never used her, always asked. Always appreciated her helping him and always saw her as what she was to him from the very beginning: his friend.

I just wanted to also add that Rowling wasn’t even the first woman writing magic school books for children. Robin Klein (an Australian author, but still a woman) first published Thalia the Failure in 1984, and Jill Murphy’s The Worst Witch series had its first book published in 1974. The Worst Witch series isn’t just a magic school series, it’s a magic boarding school series. JKR wasn’t the first at that, either.

I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.
