"I suppose so,'' Adi said in amusement in reply to Benny. "I bet they've had a long talk about how crazy Conrad's owner got.'' Hehe. That was so not Benny's fault but it was something Adi would never forget. He missed being pestered about tea parties, scones and tea in general.

Adi's left eyelid flew open so his eye could focus on Benny. Of course the bestie's question was directed to him. Yeah... Adi hadn't been discreet about the light hurting his eyes just now. He hadn't told anyone that his headaches had started to increase over the last few weeks. Headaches caused by bright light. "I'm fine,'' he mumbled, not wanting to bother anyone with a pain he was experiencing. "The light just hurt my eyes but it'll go away... when did it get so bright, Benny?''

The Hufflepuff watched AJ collect Angelfish's gift in amusement. Makeup. His AJ didn't need any but he watched her put it on anyway. And the wink... he had no idea what that was about. He hadn't realised what flavour the lip gloss was, you see. Adi took the hand AJ had looped through his arm as he thought of the summer ahead. He'd miss them all... especially AJ. But they'd see each other in DA so that was something to look forward to. Oh yeah. That reminded him...

Adi reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of parchment. On it was written two phone numbers. One for his house and another for his cell... which was probably lying dead somewhere in his room. Heh. "Here you go, AJ. Best give you this now before I forget later on.''

Adi wondered if Jordy was one of those types who had the misfortune of not having lots of friends. No matter. Adi was a good friend. Hehe. "I don't blame you. I miss mine too. In my first year, I kind of had a hard time adjusting with out them." Not that he had let anyone know that. But it had been the first time he had spent such a long time away from home. "What are your parents like? Are they wizarding folks too?'' He was curious about Jordy's life.

"I'm looking forward to it, yes, but not as much as the others before. But it'll be great to see everyone back home.'' Not to mention the endless hours of cricket he would be playing.
