Maybe he went back to his own floor of the castle." She shrugged then returned her attention back to the conversation.

"Was a close friend?" she asked. What did the woman do? Ditch him? According to her father, they were still close friends. Sierra nodded in understanding when Lafay clarified that her friendship with Alexander wouldn't give his children preferential treatment. "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I never use my father as a backbone. Well, not all the time, at least," she remarked. "Besides, he's already told me they'll be no such thing."

Furthermore, Sierra could make her own connections all by herself. She didn't need her father for that.

I hope you deem me adequate to continue potions class through the rest of my years here at Hogwart's" Heather may not be older than eleven but she had a good vocabulary and she aimed to impress.
