She wasn't a mind reader, but she was rather good at reading people's actions and expressions. She was a Slytherin, masters of deception and all that, and right now, she could tell something was up.
She frowned at him and asked "What's going on? You seem a bit out of it."
"My home life isn't ideal..... I'd much rather be here." Christopher said in the same casual tone. He hated making a big deal out of his home life. He just wanted to be back at school where he belonged.
Cass's frown wasn't breaking. She was in no way at all buying his calm act. Which was good, because he wasn't going to lie to her. He hated lying too. It seemed really stupid and pointless to him. And it was just mean. He'd rather have people be upfront with him, so he was like that with everyone else.
"
Oh, I just kind of heard this weird rumor. I'm not really sure if it's true or not, or how I feel about it. So I guess that's why I'm a bit out of it." He felt a bit better to get this off of his chest, but he didn't want to confront this thing just yet. Not when he wasn't about what his feelings for Cass were - friendship or more.
