She made a face when he mentioned Herbology. "Eh, that is not one of my favorite classes either." she agreed, wrinkling her nose. She hadn't been in danger of failing, but she might as well have been for all that she cared about it.
Then something occurred to her, "Wait." she said, her lips turning down in a slight pout, "This is your last term isn't it? My little boy's all grown up." She thought about patting his head, but knew better than to mess up his hair. What was WITH everyone leaving her? First Nicholai, and now Cale? It was hardly fair.
Where had she been? No where in particular come to think of it. Their paths had just never crossed, and that is exactly what she told him, "Fate seems to like keeping us apart. You know the old saying 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'? I can personally attest that it is true." She gave him a charming smile, pausing only for a moment to see if he was buying any of this. She couldn't very well mope around Hogwarts for the rest of the term, everyone would surely grow tired of that.
Cale put on a happy face when she mentioned that it was his last term and chuckled. "Yeah, but who are you calling little? Last I checked, YOU were YOUNGER than me," he teased with a grin. The more people who brought up the fact he was leaving, the sadder he got. Silly as it seemed, after he graduated, he'd feel like a dad or something around all his friends who hadn't graduated. Except Anna, of course. THAT would be just plain weird and creepy.
He blinked at her next response. That was certainly...deep. Yes, very deep, that was true. "So, erm, are you saying cause we weren't talking for a while you're...fonder of me?" he asked in confusion before grinning.
