I get shuffled around from family member to family member over summer holidays and spend the rest of my time here. That's why I was such a git to you on the platform. My parents were going to see me off but never showed up."
Pfft. That wasn't what she meant and she turned to give Romulus a LOOK that said just that. Of course she knew everyone had parents. She just thought maybe they were in the same situation, but they weren't. And now all of a sudden, she didn't want to talk about family, especially parents anymore.
She gave a little huff as she pulled her arm away from his, and taking a few steps away from him, she began to walk a little bit faster up the path. She would've thrown the book at him, just for being as stupid as he was being, but it was a heavy book and she didn't want to have to drag him to the hospital wing. Even though she probably could've just blamed it on him walking while reading.
"I don't know why you're being so mopey about that." So? He hadn't seen his parents in two years. SO?
"It's not like you can't see them again. And at least you have other places to go." As for that being the reason why he was a git towards her on the train, that was a really lame excuse.
