Well, maybe she could be a distraction because he was happy when she was beside him. And usually when he was happy, he was easier to abandon any bad things that haunted his mind.
"You haven't been back to your parents yet?" Suddenly he asked. Gary knew that she went away from home because she told him. Too bad, he started to like her family even when she was away he had a big fight with Dimitri, her brother. But they were nice and welcomed to him. Bet that her parents were so worried because of that. "Tell me, why you don't want to go back to them?" Asked him a bit serious. Perhaps he could help a little bit?
And what did he do during holiday? Nothing. He didn't come back to his uncle, just stayed at Hogwarts and not many things happened. "Just stay here, study for NEWTs, and I had a fight with Tiffany." He spoke suddenly. Crap! Did he just mention about his fight days ago in Honeydukes? Well, that happened when they had Christmas and New Year holidays. But quickly he told her who Tiffany was. Not his other-girlfriend, okay? "Tiffany is my best friend, actually she's like a little sister for me. No need to be jealous."
Parents? Oh, so he wanted to talk about her family... She took a deep breath and cleared her throat. "
No haven't seen them since... well, since I left. I thought about it but every time I think about them I just get so upset. I don't think I can forgive them for keeping this from me, and then making my home... my safe place awkward and uninviting." She shook her head. "
I got to spend time back at my real home in Russia, and it made me realise that the people who raised me to be how I am was my grandparents, not my parents. I just don't know what to do." she stopped, not sure where to go from there. Would he understand? She was still a bit upset with Laura for making her feel like she was being stupid for feeling this way about her family.
He stayed at Hogwarts? Zhenya could have kicked herself. Why didn't she stay over the holiday? She should have. wait... Tiffany? She raised her eyebrows slightly until he added that she was his best friend. Well, figures that he moved his attention to another female when she left. The slight jealous feeling she had still persisted, though. There was another girl. But if she was just like a little sister... Zhenya laughed slightly. Well, that made her feel more at ease. Surely there would be no romantic feelings if he saw her as a sister.
