now it was her trun to spill the beans about her troubles, but she changed the subject. "Really? You live right here in Hogsmeade? No fair." he smiled. "I live just outside of London." He then looked at her again. "Well now that we have established where each other live, can I know please know what's bothering my friend? Your secret's safe with me." he added hoping she would let up and tell him.
"Oh good," she said, relieved for two different reasons. One reason was the fact that he clearly wasn't offended by her words, and the other reason was that he hadn't called up any healers to take her away to St. Mungo's - which was very nice of him, she thought.
"Yeah I do - maybe on the next Hogsmeade weekend, after I get my uncle's permission, I could invite a couple friends over," Rachel said with a wide, slightly empty although genuine, smile at Chris. She hoped that that would have led him to continue the conversation about her living location, but apparently it hadn't.
Sigh. "It's not exactly a secret, and it's really stupid - you'll think I'm shallow or something" she said, trying her hardest to excuse herself from having to spill. It wasn't fair to Chris - why should he be worried or preoccupied with something that she had a problem with? She didn't mind doing it for others, but why should her friends have to as well? This whole friends and problems business was really problematic, if you ask her.
