Drake made that problem a non-issue. Pheebs wrapped her arms around him tightly ~~like a Strangling Vine Phoebe But Nicer And Slightly More In Need Of Reassurance And Squishy Hugs~~ for the longest ever time. "I missed you lots," Phoebe mumbled into her friend's shoulder. It was obvious that the hug was very much needed. "I'm okay. I just have asthma," she explained, reluctantly letting go of her friend. "...Do they sell plants here?!" Because she was pretty sure she heard him mention plants!!! "I've only ever looked for food, jewelry, and books."

School made her feel lonely? For someone that hadn’t had a lot of friends prior to Hogwarts, it was an idea that shouldn’t be surprising to him - and yet he would have been shocked. Hogwarts was the first place Drake had really felt like there was a semblance of him fitting in. He liked his dorm mates a lot (even if he wasn’t sure some were reciprocated), and his house mates were mainly the best too! He had his favorites - present company included - but… he didn’t outright not like anyone. Just… was minorly scared of at least one. As for people hurting her feelings? He didn’t know what was happening in Phoebe’s world, but he’d be happy to lend an ear if she needed it!

He’d also have been very relieved that he didn’t hurt her feelings. He would have been devastated to learn he’d done so! He liked hugs a lot and physical contact, so she could squeeze as muuuuch as she needed and Drake would happily return it! At her words she got an extra squeeze as he nodded in agreement. “I’ve missed you too! Being away from school is weird because I can’t see you and all our friends every day.” It was kind of sad, but he was trying to just focus on how nice it was to have the time with Mum. “Ashthma? Is that the one where your lungs don’t like heavy exertion? Or bad air?” Or… probably other things. “Do you have to use one of those puffer things?” … What were those called again? “Weeeell, I don’t know for SURE but… I want to look! Why wouldn’t people want to try to sell hybrids or something?” Though… now that he thought about it more, the Ministry probably shut that down if they did considering plants could have the potential to be dangerous.
