Alright, so no Hogwarts issues. Goody! Adi was prepared for a school related issue but surely NOT what she said next. He froze momentarily in shock. No... she just hadn't said that her parents are dead... "I'm so sorry about that, Larissa,'' he said softly as he continued to hold her comfortingly. "How did it happen?'' But no, she didn't have to tell him if she didn't want to. He was happy just to let her cry out her sorrows.

She shrugged. Really it didn't matter. She felt horrible about the whole event that had happened with her parents but it felt worse on most days since she won't get to say goodbye to them or even be able to see them again. Why was he apologizing? It wasn't his fault that they were gone.

"You don't have to be sorry, it's not your fault that they're gone."

The seventh year knew little details about the accident. She knew the major part about it but that was really it for now. "I just know that my mum and dad were on a muggle cruise ship and the ship sank but I don't know how or why it sank." She shrugged again and wiped some more tears from her face that were starting to fall again.

The Gryffindor wanted answers, she wanted to know why the ship sank and why her parents wanted to go on a cruise. She just wanted to know why.
