It was such a sad way to start the term. Part of her wanted to celebrate with Bel, Lex, Reese, and all of the other Hufflepuffs, but she was far too sad for her friend to do more than simply sit next to Daisy and try and comfort her.

That, combined with the fact that she hadn't seen or heard from her parents in over a year was beyond depressing. A few sympathetic tears slipped from her chocolaty brown eyes.
