"This is his guitar, look," Kiri said to Vanessa and pointed - unnecessarily - at the guitar in her lap. "He's been playing for eight years! And he can play the piano, too." She stopped as Emiliano began explaining about how he learned to play the guitar. Kiri was even more fascinated than before. He hadn't just learned two instruments, one of them had been taught to him by a Bulgarian instructor! She remembered vaguely that Emiliano had once explained to her how he and his family were always on the move all over the world, but the glimpses she got into this reality - such as a Bulgarian guitar teacher - only added to the story. It sounded like a constant adventure. The good kind of adventure.

"I'd love to learn it," she said to both of them, then, turning to Emiliano, added, "I'm not sure why my parents might not let me. Actually, maybe they would." She shrugged unconcernedly. Right now, it didn't even seem to matter much. "I don't think I've ever really asked. Maybe I will when I'm back home. Oh, hold on, Vanessa..." The girl was unpacking her sleeping back.

Kiri, working around the guitar, pushed her bag out of the way to make room for Vanessa, happy that the Hufflepuff girl had apparently decided to set up camp next to Kiri. Now she wouldn't be lonely. "Are you going to stay here?" she asked. "Where's, er, Miles? Is he studying for the exams? Karma has... erm sorry, she's a friend of Emiliano's", Kiri interrupted herself to explain, "Karma isn't here tonight either because she's revising."
