She got up and gave him a big sister hug. “I really have missed you, ya know.” She smiled when she sat back down. They had been super close for so long, it was hard when she didn’t see the ones she was close to.

Of course he knew about her summer. She had never lied to him before so she had told him why she was going there. He usually knew everything about her life. That’s why he was her little brother anyway. Fidgeting a bit with the St. Mungos talk she gave a small smile, “Yeah it really did help. Many of the issues I was having, such as the hugging are gone now. I still have the support of the healers there if I need anything, plus I got to talk to them about becoming a healer so that was kind of fun.” She liked that she got to really see and talk to them while she stayed. The owl toy with this Min grinned, “I loved the owl toy. I snuggled him the entire time I was there. He’s one of my favorites and he came along to school this term as well. Him, my bear, and my penguin from Ethan.” She had went from never bringing stuffed animals to school to bringing three. Was she going back in maturity.. At the moment she wasn’t sure.

She smiled when he talked about Ella.. It was good they were in the same class. She couldn’t handle seeing them as sad as she was feeling. No one should have to feel this way. She gave him a puzzled look, “Who was the double date with? Someone I know?” maybe another of their friends were dating now. It wouldn’t’ be a super shock she guessed. This term was she looking forward to this term. She shrugged, “I guess. Probably more so when it gets started.” Right now she just wanted to turn the traIn around and go back to her comfort zone. “I hope I make quidditch again.” She was feeling a bit nervous about that.

Blue eyes snapped up to look at Alec.. Did he just say four month and then two. She felt a panic start inside of her. No.. Hogsmeade was monthly wasn’t it. What if she had been mistaken.. What if it was longer. She wouldn’t see him for two months.. possibly four. She bit her lip, but it wasn’t going to stop the tears from falling. She had pushed them away all day doing prefect things, but the thought of not seeing him for longer than she had already prepared herself was just not processing well. “I.. I thought it would be only a month before Hogsmeade.” She looked down as more tears fell.
