"Came to see you. I feel a little sad. " Why not be totally honest about it? She needed someone that was actually caring and would listen. Sighs.
Sophie Brown LOVED to be called kiddo, even at her ripe age of seventeen, so she didn't expect people to not love it, too - but the Ravenclaw did notice the girl's demeanor deflate even MORE when she greeted the girl. It was either the nickname or the mere sight of the Head Girl that made Dora sad, and no matter which one it was...

It was a heartbreaking sight and a very drastic change from the way Soph had seen Dora before. Where was the excitement? The life? The joy?

...But then it was confirmed that she HAD come to see Sophie, so she decided it must've been the name by deduction. No kiddo, then. But... SAD? DORA UMBRIDGE WAS SAD?

"What happened, Dora? What's wrong?" Soph asked lightly, gently wrapping an arm around the girl and giving her a hesitant, soft side-hug. Uncharted territory with comforting this one, so she didn't know how the girl would react to affection. Treading lightly was the best way to go for now.
