But if she did 'wake up' this summer...he'd be fine with that. As long as she thought it through. Sure, it wasn't as if she couldn't end it at any time she wanted, but she didn't want another Jesse/Jenn/Kel incident.
Kel knew that that wasn't the logical way to look at things if you knew his mother, but his spirits lifted anyway. Satine had a way of making him all happy...that's why she made a great little sister. At her next words, he chuckled. "Good-looking and smart. Yep, that pretty much sums me up, doesn't it?" he teased with a roll of his eyes. Schyea right. But oh well. Maybe his mother would fall for that...maybe.
"I'll hold you to that offer," Kel promised, one corner of his mouth twitching up into a crooked smile. "Because I might need it. I told myself that if I wasn't allowed to go I'd sneak out and find a way to get to King's Cross myself. But I'm sure you kidnapping me will be a lot easier, since I live in Ireland and stuff..." he smiled at the hand on his arm, knowing she was being serious. And he was being serious, too. Although Hogwarts was crazy and stuff, he would NOT go back to being home schooled. No way, no how.
His eyes widened in interest as Satine told him about the cruise. "That sounds like fun!" he exclaimed, smiling. Giant ship...cool! "Where are you going to?" he asked her. She'd said America...but there was a lot of places to go around America, weren't there?
She smiled, "
Of course she'll fall for it...just bat those big eyelashes and she'll be like mud in your hands...or something like that." she didn't think she had said that right but it kind of made sense.
"
Well, we will def have to keep in touch over the term through owl...just in case I have to make a flying trip up to your house and break down the door to get you out...Hogwarts would absolutely suck without you and I won't let you go back to homeschooling...I'm sure Jenn would help me bust you out, too." she could only imagine her sneaking up to Kel's house on her broom all dressed in black and the image made her giggle a little bit..."
That would be a funny site Jenn and I coming to bust you out like you were a criminal..." she paused with the picture in her head. As she though she grabbed a marshmellow and gave it to Gemma who was sitting in her lap enjoying being under the stars....then she pinched off a little bit of hers and offered it to Kel's pygmy puff.
"O, our cruise...we're starting in Florida and going up the East coast...I can't wait to see all of the lighthouses!...my parents owled me to say that it was a magic cruise only so maybe I'll get to meet some more students from here and the other schools." secretly she hoped she could meet a lot more students then she had here at Hogwarts...I mean she was a social butterfly but here she hadn't found her niche yet...she acted older than the other firsties but the older students, well other than Kel and the Gryffie Prefect, looked at her as a firstie...maybe next year would be different...
