Ran away? That wasn't good. Presley had run away before, but she'd always had a sure place to go, and she'd always come home eventually.
"Where did you go?" she asked in shock. Because it wouldn't do to have the girl not have a safe place to go for the summer this year.
"I mean, of all people I can understand having it rough at home, but Elise, honey, you can't just leave your problems. I promise you, they'll still be the same problems no matter where you sleep at night." She would still hurt over her family, and she would still miss her mum. That didn't change when she came to Hogwarts, it wouldn't change if she ran away.
