"Distance does nothing but hurt friendships. Look at us. We used to be inseparable. You missed my birthday this year. What's next we don't see each other for holidays?"
"It does a little. Professor Rodemiere would sound catchy. Think dad would appreciate that?" Thinking about it...no probably not. He wouldn't be an Auror or a Quidditch player. Siiiiiiiigh.
She smiled a little at that "I have that at least. The little ones I can catch or something or dump water on to put the fire out." She did grin about the help rather than hinder bit. But his next words made her grin slide off her face. "Because I wouldn't get in the way between you and Vinnie" she said quietly. "I don't want her thinking I'm trying to take you from her." After all, he had left her for Vinnie? She knew she'd be skeptical and nervous around a girl who did that to her! "I have been avoiding you so she doesn't get the wrong impression." she said softly. "I'm not here to take you away from her. We'll be apart, for who knows how long, except for owls back and forth....and holidays." she added.
"Maybe?" she said with a little smile again. "You're doing something productive, so perhaps?"
