It made her feel even more guilty for leaving in the middle of term, but she had to she had to do what she had to do. Shaking it off she decided to be more of the party instead of the bump on the log in the chair. "Keefer would you like anything to drink? I'm going to go get something from the table."
Justin walked into the party and saw a very familiar figure across the room and his heart lept and sunk as he knew what had happened. He felt awful for not sending her an owl, but his mother gave strict instructions that he not . Too much was going on and she would need her space to come to terms with the loss of her parents and little brother.
Slowly he walked up from behind her and put his arms around her waist and pulled her into him as he gave her cheek a little kiss.
" When did you arrive back? I've missed you terribly."
