And yes, even Dora Umbridge got sad sometimes... more often than she let on actually. But being here seemed to amplify the sadness and her reason for it more than any place ever had. "I miss my Dad and brother. And most of all I miss my Mum. " She was positive she hadn't mentioned to Sophie that her mum was deceased, bUT she would do... in due time. It just really hurt being in her Mum's old house and the letters from her Aunties and Uncles made that feeling more real than before.

Oh. Hey. Sophie was hugging her? Dora took that as her cue lay her head over on Sophie's lap. She would pet Dora's hair, right? RIGHT? Sad Dora needed some love.

It was really, really depressing to see sweet Dora like this, and Sophie was even SADDER when the poor girl rested her head upon her lap. She looked very, very small, Dora did, like a little toddler curling up against her mother, and it tugged at the Ravenclaw's heartstrings. She just wanted to wrap her right up in a big ol' hug, but instead, she softly pet the girl's hair with a delicate hand, unsure of how else to comfort her in this position.

Missing her family was understandable. Soph had missed her mother something fierce when she first came to Hogwarts, but the friends she made in the first few months quickly fixed that. Maybe... Dora was instinctively gravitating toward that coping mechanism, too? Would Soph be Dora's Caterina ~~Moretti~~ Branxton?

WAS SOPH A MAMA NOW?

"S'gonna be okay, Dora," she started gently, lightly stroking her fingers through the girl's hair. "S'not so bad being here, away from family after awhile. Your housemates 'n friends become like your family, that's what happened with me. I had two older classmates named Mo 'n Cat who took me under their wing and they made me feel protected 'n safe 'n loved when I was your age. There's loads of fun 'n loving older kids here, if y'need someone to go to when company. Y'got me, y'got Dakest... 'n y'can write to your family when y'need, right?" Plus, the holidays were only a couple months away, but Soph wasn't sure if the girl was going to be going home to see her family... so best to not potentially make things worse by mentioning it.
