She placed a consoling hand on his shoulder and said "Hey, if you and your sister ever need a place to...like escape to during the holidays, our place is always open for the two of you." Then she smiled "After all, there's more than enough room for all of us in there."
Then she laughed at his reaction "Yes probably. Not that anyone would admit it." Then she shook her head, smile still firmly placed on her face "Besides, It was a Slytherin who started it. I just forgot who." Then her smile melted as she moved on to a more serious subject. There was just something he wasn't telling her. And she couldn't rest until she found out what it was. "So, which rumor were you so upset about?"
"I know.... I just wish there was something I could do about it. Give Elyon a better life." He most certainly didn't think she deserved to live like this. Barely any money to pay for food or the bills, a sick father and an abusive mother, all of these things forced the two on their own. He wished he could give his little sister better.
Christopher relaxed at Cass's touch. She was like some sort of therapist, she was really easy to talk to.
"Thanks. That really means a lot." Cass was such a good friend. Which was why he didn't want to have to tell her the answer to her next question.
"Oh you know, just some dumb drama. Nothing important. Like you said, it probably isn't true." He hoped it wasn't. Then they could stay friends. He didn't want that to be ruined either.
