"Nah. I'll visit. I promise. And write." West grinned. Definitely. But still.... he'd still really miss the old man. Really. His smile faded just a bit as he thought about it and then all of a sudden he wrapped his arms around Botros in a hug, not even caring if people stared.

"I'm counti--" Botros started to reply but was cut off by the somewhat sad and somewhat serious expression that passed over Odessa's face before he wrapped his arms around the elderly man. Ab smiled and hugged the kid back (eighteen years old WAS still kid to the eighty years old man), his hand patting his back all manly like. "It's alright to make mistakes, son." He told him when they were this close, an advice from the heart because Botros had a strong impression that this particular Slytherin beat himself up too much and too often. He was a kid, he should be allowed mistakes, like the case with the rest of his peers.
