“When is your trip? B-because we could always stock up on candies before you go on your trip?” Mel grinned over to him because really that would be the best right? Having candies to bring on a vacation sounded like a fun thing. “…if you see anything really funny will you take a picture of it for me?” Mel asked with a bright-eyed grin – humor that was basically what she lived for. “Oh…and I’ll do the same if I find anything funny to show you! Though I probably won’t because the most entertaining thing I’m doing is going to my sister’s wedding…and well obviously being Ace’s neighbor again” she grinned at that idea she had really missed being able to climb through the woods to his house. Mel’s fingers pressed into the little tin as she heard Carl asking if he could look.

Right…the tin, her memories. “Oh…this? Its” she chewed her lip a bit before moving the little tin closer to him “yeah of course you can” she smiled and bit her lip “I don’t really look like any of them at all…that’s an old photo of my sister India she still looks sort of like that but…older?” She shrugged as she pointed at the picture that must have been taken after a trip to the beach. “I can point out who everyone is if you want?...though I think I wrote the names on the back of the photographs?” She shrugged her shoulder and grinned at her friend even though she was indeed nervous now, she didn’t typically share her sentimental side with just everyone. “I miss them…you know? Its hard sometimes hearing everyone talk about what they are doing with their parents…” she paused for a moment before raising one of her hands to the small amethyst necklace she had been wearing and began twirling it in her fingers. “My family says I’ve got my mum’s hair and my dad’s eyes?” She admitted with a small smile, “India looks just like her though…I used to be jealous of her for that” she admitted with a small almost humorless laugh.

She didn't really know why she was sharing all of this, but still deep down she did. She knew that Carl understood it...right? Missing family was hard to do especially when you couldn't just go somewhere to see them.

Carl laughed and leaned against the Treehouse wall. "I can't deny that. None of my other duel opponents has given me a pumpkin head." Talking about funny things definitely made the situation less awkward.

"It's at the end of July, so yeah! We can do that before I leave." The Hufflepuff said, grinning. Sweets were a must on any trip and it would be great to have Wizarding ones to eat. "Sure, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make the photographs move for you." Muggle camera and all. "Oh, congratulations to your sister and her boyfriend! And I hope you have lots of fun with Tenacius." He knew that the Gryffindor boy was a really fun person to be around.

He observed her reaction, thinking maybe the photographs were too personal for him to look at. When Mel did say that he could do so, Carl smiled and leaned in to see. Oh, it was of her family ... He had always been curious about her family members, so he nodded as she talked about her sister India. "Yeah I would love that, can you tell me who everyone is?" He asked.

I miss them… you know? The thirteen-year-old felt a wave a sadness come over him. He understood almost everything she was feeling. Whenever he missed his parents, whenever he needed them to be with him, they were not there. "Yeah, I know ... it can be a bit hard sometimes. I miss my parents too. But we're brave, right?" He took the girl's hand, the one not touching her necklace, and squeezed it gently. "Your parents are beautiful. I heard I have my dad's hair and my mom's eyes." He smiled, his eyes landing on the picture of her parents.
