As a matter of fact, she was clueless to the fact that he even liked her as a little more then just a friend.
"In the greenhouses, hmm? What'cha been doing there? I'd help out, too, but I'd probably kill everything I touched," she joked. LouAnn was a good student, but she just didn't have a lot of luck with things like succeeding with flying colors. "Oh, yeah! Gryffindor is second! Imagine that! I think I just overheard someone say we're back to third, though. At least we're not last anymore."
Then he asked how she'd been, and if she was being honest, she hadn't really been doing too well. "Hmm...I don't know, Chris. I've been going through a few things that I just need to figure out and get past. I'm sure it'll be okay, though. Professor Lupa's been helping me out a lot...Mr. Masterson, too," she explained. "How've you been?"
Chris nodded and grinned as LouAnn talked about her love of ice cream.
"I agree, it doesn't matter when or where, if there is ice cream I will eat it if its offered to me. Its one of my favorite treats. Have you ever been to Florean Fortesque's in Diagon Alley? My friend's mom used to run it. They have great ice cream there. Perhaps we can go there one day." "Yep I love plants. Me and Plymouth Morgan were in there helping Professor Bunbury replant some Mandrakes that were getting to large for their pots." Chris laughed at her second comment.
"Oh I'm sure you wouldn't kill them." he said as he took another bite. Chris then heard the unfortunate news of Gryffindors slip into third place.
"Oh well that's still not too bad, its better that fourth." he nodded. He was proud of the Gryffindors for coming back so close to the other houses.
Chris listened to LouAnn talk about her recent problems. He smiled sadly at her.
"I'm sorry LouAnn, I really am. If you ever need anything or any help you can ask me ok?" he patted his hand on her shoulder. He didn't want his good friend and someone he cared about so much to be afraid or scared. At least Lupa was helping her out.
