"What?!" Nancy turned around to give Jake an incredulous look. Okay...probably not such a good reaction, nor one the boy would probably have expected. Oops. "I mean...uhm..." Guh, she sucked at stuff like that. Hopefully he wasn't going to start crying. "Why? There's no need to be." Yeah, this was going to help the boy. Well, not really but whatever.
"Homesick," Jake repeated, raising a quizzical eyebrow at Nancy. Was she serious? Nine whole months away from home... was no need to be homesick. Riiiiiiiight.
"Yuhh-yeahh th-there is," he countered, though smiling a little. It wasn't often that it was Jake correcting someone else.
"I mmuh-mmmean I'll duh-duh-deal with it... b-b-but I nnnnnever ffffelt it thuhhh-this bbbbbad before."
Yeah, maybe he shouldn't have told Nancy. She wasn't really reacting... well.
"It'll be fffffffine."
And Jake scratched the adorable kneazle behind the ears again.

They all tended to over talk when they were nervous, especially his older brother Lucas. "Just Diggy man." he said with a small smirk. Maybe that would help the boy relax or something.
He reached up and loosened the tie around his neck. Vowing to murder his sister the next time he saw her for dressing him up like that when everyone else was dressed like normal teenagers and not a wanna be runway model. He sometime wondered if there was anything going on in his sister's head other than clothes and money. He dismissed that thought, he knew that his sister was really smart and ambitious, she just loved clothes and money. That was her. "I'm 14. Naw this is my first time here, even though I think I'm a 4th year." he explained. Then he stopped talking. He was prattling on and on like a girl. This is when he missed his twin the most. JoJo would have offset his rattling on.
Frowning, Jake looked a little lost for a moment, as if he was trying to remember something of utmost importance. He'd said 'Diggy' hadn't he? Well... maybe the kid was talking about his stutter, in which case, Jake decided to ignore that. After the Slytherin girl who had teased him for that last year, he was learning to just kind of deal with stuff, which was also helpful, because he didn't know the difference between joke and insult sometimes.
Oooooh, interesting. What luck that Jake had met a boy the same age.
"I'm fuh-fourteen as wuhhh-well. Ttttturned it ye-ye-yesterday. Ssssso I'm a fou-fourth year t-t-too." Even though at 4'9" he didn't really look it. But at least he'd grown.
"I'm a Hufflepppppuff."
Jake had vaguely wondered telling Diggy about all that had happened last year, with the three dead students. But since he still believe that he was the culprit, he decided that was a kind of... no-no.
"Whuhh-where've you bbbbbeen? Like, instead of Huhh-Hohwarts... if yyyou don't muhh-mind me asking," Jake asked, kind of intrigued. There was something familiar about Diggy, but he couldn't place it. Maybe it was just... him going crazy again.
