People leaving. Well, no one liked that. And he'd been through that many times, for starters, his mom, though, Kaika was the one who got the worst, and then Aaron, and Tiberius. At a time when it seemed that most friends were leaving him, Simon stayed. Miranda also left, before her time. Now, Conan wanted to leave, which he found truly awful. Kapoor left. But Nolan, Kingsley, and Phineas, all at the same time? Gilderoy's image over the summer? Ema also left. It was...something you couldn't fight against. Perhaps that's why he should be used to it, not Ellie.

"I'm not leaving yet," he said, giving her a small smile, "So, you have one less person to worry about," as if she did.

Treyen had already given her the Niffler, "Is there anything at all I can do to make you happy?" because he was staying in Hogwarts unless he died, and that wasn't happening, the reading Jake gave him didn't say something about that, "And no, I won't let you get away with supporting three Quidditch teams," though, if that's all it took to get a smile from her, then he'd let her have her way.
