"I am sure you will find someone who you connect with at Hogwarts," she nodded placing a hand on his shoulder for only a brief moment before removing.
Kurumi looked at him and noticed that he was losing a bit of color in his cheeks. Her eyes glanced at the gashes, but she tried not to look at them too long, it was rude after all. "A-Are you alright?"
Jack nodded, "losing people can do that too." He said resentfully, thinking of his father. Maybe she was right. Maybe when he went to Hogwarts there would be something magically miraculous happen to him and he would forevermore live a life of joy and ease.
As if.
His body was so tense at this point he flinched when Kurumi touched his shoulder. He hadn't meant to. "Sorry," He said apologetically, but didn't explain his tensity, so instead relaxed.
Just as he had gotten his heart to beat a little slower, his eyes to flash a little less, his mind to be a little less cautious, Kurumi's next words brought it all back again. "I'm fine." He said, but he didn't look at her. His head was firmly straight, his grey eyes firmly fixed on a cloud in the distance.
