She was suddenly all too aware of the other students near by and would not be heard giving Jake a lecture in front of them. Instead, she patted the seat next to her and said, "Sit down, Jake."

She knew what he meant when he said that he didn't like it here. She had heard it before and it hurt her to hear it again. She wished that she could figure out a way to make it better for him. "I know honey." was all she could say.

"But... what behaviour?!" Jake asked, staring first at his feet and then up at Professor Morgan... and then back again. "I was only telling him... because it wasn't fair," he complained, still whining. As Professor Morgan patted the seat beside her, Jake took that as an invitation to sit, and was obviously proved right when she told him to sit. "I don't get it, you know?"

Bowing his head lower, Jake covered his face with his hands. "There's this quidditch thing, trains up young players until they turn fifteen... not the really good ones, but decent ones... I've been offered a place there, and they do tutoring. I doubt I'll take it, but... you know... it's tempting," Jake admitted. This had been a total secret between him and his dad, and it felt weird to reveal it. "Especially now... and they apparently deal with kids who get a bit... of a handful," Jake sneered, as though he resented this label.

Not really expecting much of a response, Jake turned back to the Professor.
