Listen. Any friend of Rula and Junia - or even an acquaintance though Abey didn't actually know what that was actually - was a friend of Abey's. This was because Abey liked to have friends - especially older and bigger friends with more life experience and who could tell him more things - and he also liked sharing things with his cousins. Sometimes without asking first. Like friends. Or chairs in Astronomy class. (Sorry again about that, Junia.)

"My friend Théo gets homesick too I think, and he's in my dorm. But we both have cousins here too, which helps." Of course, Théo actually had a cousin IN Gryffindor, Charlie, and she was really nice too actually. "Sometimes, when I'm having fun with people, I stop being homesick. Then when I realise it makes me feel a little bad because I forgot to miss home, even though I hate feeling homesick."

Okay, so maybe Abey just liked to share his feelings with anyone and everyone. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe. Actually.

He shoved the last of his food into his mouth, effectively clearing his plate, and chewed on it, cheeks bulging with food, as Dora went on about homework and... OWLs. THAT earned a screwed up sort of face, a scrunched up nose and a shake of the head. Exams, OWLs... it was best to not think about those. He had a million years before it was his turn.

Having his mouth stuffed full of food would have given Abey some time to think about his answer to her question, were it not for the fact that he had known the answer to that for years and years, despite only studying the subject for a matter of weeks.

"Ancient Runes!" he declared brightly, once his food was all settled in his belly. Abey took a sip of his juice before going on. "Except I'm not very good at it at all yet. I'm actually good at the lessons which are more about magic, like Charms and Transfiguration, because I hate writing things, and I really like Defence Against the Dark Arts. I'm in the Duelling Club and I'm sooooooo excited to do the tournament." Ooh. OOOOOH. "Do you duel, Dora?" And also, could she help him be really really really good dueller???
