When it came to his family, the corners of Jake's mouth twitched into a smile. "It's fine. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it was like, taboo or something," he pointed out, and then looked thoughtful before speaking. "My biological parents were about nineteen when I was born. My dad didn't stick around longer than three weeks, as was his nature, and my mother didn't really like me. I was a reminder of the life she couldn't have. I left her house when I was ten, and after my first year I lived with my dad for a few weeks. But he... had loads more kids. Couldn't deal with me."
Remembering what came next, Jake smiled oddly. "I was in a lot of foster families, and finally I was placed with someone who I liked. She got married and they adopted me. They actually used to teach here."
So yeah... that was about it. "They divorced recently, though."
Jake wasn't good at realising when he was bringing the mood down.
The room? Oh. "Well, the door was open. I'm sure Truebridge wouldn't leave it open if it wasn't meant to be used."
Aw! Family was always a touchy subject. She had found this out rather quickly when making friends.
"Oh, sorry..." she said, although Jake didn't seem too sad. Although, he was a lot older, so he's probably learned to deal with it by now.
"Well, can I tell you something I've never told anyone else?" She wasn't! "My sister is actually my half-sister. Her dad left my mam because he thought she was a freak just because she's a witch." Yep, she just had! Well she'd have to talk about it sooner or later.
"Only, my family don't know I know that. I overheard them talking one day..."
The mood was officaially down...
"So we won't get in trouble if the professor comes in here?"
They'd better not, Jake was just helping her with work! If anything, he should get points for helping! Actually, they should really get back to that...
