Not.

Letting a smile flit across his face, Jake nodded. "Yup," he stated, remembering the problems they had trying to find the right person who was magic and everything to take Jake in. "But she isn't like an all rounder. I mean... it's not fair on her... She has to make money for us, and she loves her job. I couldn't take that away. I mean... she takes bags of time off in the summer... sooooo... at least I get to spend time with her then," he said, feeling immensely uncomfortable with the fact that he'd not be able to see her until July.

Sigh.

"It ain't all bad, I guess," Jake remarked, though the more he thought about it, the more it really did seem kind of bad.
Tibi watched more green gems drop through the Slytherin hourglass as Jake talked. He nodded along, wondering what it would be like to have someone at home who knew magic.

"Maybe it is... and.." Tibi hesitated. Was he insulting Jake? No... he didn't think so... "well.. maybe whatever it is in your head that makes it hard to do magic will go away like being scared did?" Tibi shrugged. "I think it would be a shame if you left." He looked up and down the hall. "I mean.. who else would I talk to? I don't have many friends here." Tibi frowned.

Changing the subject back to families, Tibi leaned his head against the wall, a faraway look on his face. "I wonder a lot what if would be like if my dad hadn't died. If I'd grown up knowing about magic. I mean.. Mum knew, but she didn't tell me. And she can't do any." Would he be better at it? Would he not feel so out of place? Would he not be scared all the time?

Tibi rubbed his eyes. "I miss her loads. We used to spend all our time together, just us. And now I don't see her at all." He frowned again and picked at the knee of his pants. "It's hard."
