"Hmm...a lot. I don't know how many, really. Eight and a half months or so," she replied. She wasn't ready to leave Hogwarts like Jake was. LouAnn had just gotten here, and despite all the added classwork and homework, she was happy to be here in the castle. The place certainly felt like a home away from home. "Why? Aren't you happy here at all?"

She turned her focus back to the floor and absentmindedly drew circles on it with her fingers while she waiting for Jake's reply. Her mind drifted back to how odd she'd been feeling lately. It worried her---a lot. She'd thought about seeking help from her parents or from the nurse, but she had a funny feeling both would think she was insane. Maybe she really had gone insane, though. Maybe the events that had happened a few years ago had finally taken their toll on her.

Making an impatient clicking noise with his tongue when LouAnn told him how long was left, Jake stayed silent for a few minutes, even after LouAnn asked the question. When it seemed that the silence had gone almost for long enough that he couldn't answer, the boy spoke quietly. "Nuh uh," he said, swinging his feet. "I just want to go home. I really do."

He really did.

Not much was going right this year, Jake just wanted to be at home with his foster mother or something. Heck, he'd probably go back to his REAL parents if he could leave here.

Well... maybe.

Rubbing his eyes, Jake squinted around again. His eyes were getting bad, man. "What can we dooooo?" he asked suddenly, a hint of his wayyyyyyy younger self showing through his voice. "I'm dead borrrrrrred."
