She couldn't help but wonder if something like that would happen again while she was at the school. Would she be targeted since her mother was a muggle? Maybe she should get to the dueling area with a few friends to practice some spells that could help... would they get in trouble?

She felt like her mind was racing a mile a minute. It was a lot in information to take in at once. "I'm so sorry that that happened. I'm sure it was hard to come back to the school after that happened." She looked back to the castle. How could anyone who went through that trust the school again? How could their parents send them back here?

Nem was patient, at least in all respects that mattered when they had dealings with these other kids. They didn't mind the staring, didn't mind the extended silence, were happy to wait it out and let their words sink in. Sometimes, that was all for the better.

So they said nothing at first, only stood there with their hands in their pockets, though it wasn't long before they drew them out again, and folded their arms over their chest instead, in such a way that their hands were still protected from the cold.

At last, Nem shook their head. "No need for you to be sorry, but I appreciate it all the same." It was tempting to add 'only the people involved should be sorry', just for the fun of it, but opted against it. "Harder for some than for others. A lot of kids were pulled out. For the rest of us it's business as usual, and we have His Royal Trent-ness back now, so that's something." Nem smiled at the first year, warm and friendly, to show that the nickname was a stab of humour, to put her a little more at ease.

No good being stuck in the past forever.
