Tibi considered Rayedem's family. "Well... someone told me that sometimes completely muggle families sometimes have a witch or wizard born into them but no one really knows why. So... I guess your sister could have been the first?" Tibi shrugged. "I don't think it matters much, though." He wanted to make sure that Rayedem knew that Tibi wasn't one of the kids that didn't like muggleborns.
"hmmm.. Lucille? I think I've seen her around, but I don't know that I met her yet. It must be nice to come to school with a friend, already." Tibi tried not to look glum. He hadn't exactly been great at making friends so far.
Realizing that they were back at the topic for the moment, Rayedem replied,
"Well, I'm sure he was. Everyone's father must be great. How.. Old were you?" he hesitated at the question, but let it out anyway. Well, maybe it'd feel good to talk about this to someone. He hoped so. His father were around, but now to be free of him, he felt some kind of an unexplainable joy. When had he missed him? Nevee-er.
Rayedem smiled. So far no one had complained about his blood status, and he was glad that Tibi didn't complain, either. Things
really are starting to come together.
"Well, my sister, she got two letters. The other one was from this other school, Beau-Batons or something, and in the end she went there and had never come back since. Unlike me, she was smart." he laughed sadly. It always makes his heart ache to think about Tannya.
"I miss her." goodness, I didn't just say that. "I didn't know Lucille was going here too until we met at the train," he laughed, recalling those times. Yep, he was sure about it.
"We didn't meet at the train, did we? Nor at the start of term feast. I guess I was really being an antisocial." he said.
