"I was talking to my uncle... about the war... and how I might join S.A.M and not finish my last year here at Hogwarts."
Watching Matty rub the back of his neck like that Marie knew she wasn't going to want to hear what he was about to tell her. He seemed to only rub his neck like that when he had bad news.
And she was right. Not only was the news bad... it was news that scared the hell out of her. Falling back on a nearby bench she didn't even care that she was sitting on snow.
"You're not... going to finish school?" She asked trying to fight back the tears. Visions of him laying there in his bed almost dead this past summer kept flashing through her mind. She hated the thought of him joining S.A.M. She seen what happened to him while just in training. She couldn't bear to think what would happen to him once he joined and was actually fighting in a battle.
