Adi’s friend, except as fr as she was concerned, he was the lesser of two evils. At least, he didn’t seem apt to try and get her to hug him, and he’d proved useful back when the swamp had grown. She wondered if he remembered that, but she wasn’t planning on asking. There wasn’t any reason to, and she didn’t ask questions regularly anyhow. She just expected answers, or at least respect. He’d shown that, at least.

The owl on his shoulder got a brief glance, as if she was deciding if it was apt to do anything, before her blue eyes had gone back to the older boy. “Hi,” she said briefly. He hadn’t said anything else, so she wasn’t going to. Besides, the very fact she’d said anything should have told him he was allowed to stay. According to her, anyway. He was hardly paying attention to her in the first place, so she still nearly had the carriage to herself. If it stayed this way.


He had noticed that she had looked up from the greeting. That and the fact she didn't readily react negatively was a good sign. Benny could use good signs. Perhaps she remembered him in the whole swamp issue where she had used him as a way to avoid the dirty water. Feeling the slightly harder grip on his shoulder, the Gryffindor reached a hand up to give a comforting scratch to Conrad who had apparently noticed the cat on the younger girl's lap. "Easy boy...the cat's not bothering you."

Which was certainly a good thing. The last thing he needed was a flighty familiar making his escape. Ah...and there was the return greeting. Ben would take that as a plus. As was the fact that she stopped at the greeting without saying anything more, even as he chanced a better look at her. Perhaps he wasn't the only one that was fine with a simple quiet carriage ride up to the castle.

Had his luck gotten better?
