Because, she'll be picking me up at the train station." Meaning at the end of the school year.
She thumbed through her Ancient Runes textbook, trying to get focused on her homework. It was so difficult, though, with...well, ANYBODY nearby. Any distraction was welcome when it came to homework, and Sophie was really starting to wish she was the kind of person that would have just let Cutty do her homework for her. "Are you sure you're not ill?" she asked again.
"
That would wehrk. It'd have to be before summer because I'll have to go to me grandmum and t'see m'dad." Which mean no United Kingdom. Not unless he knew any good and effective spells for transcontinental transport and could get Ministry clearance to use them all. And anyway, Cutty wasn't trying to repeat himself. He wished to move on to bigger and better things.
And, apparently Sophie was going to help him. His mind already started to consider the cost and how he was going to get out of it. This couldn't be for free.
The sick lil snake closed his eyes for a minute as he heated up a bit. His brows furrowed and his mouth frowned by how uncomfortable it was. "
