"Oh, and why is that? Did your parents not want you at this particular school?" He'd never heard of parents not wanting their child to have an education. That would be horrifying.
It seemed everyone here enjoyed exercise and athleticism. That was one good thing about this school, it seemed. "I was actually in the middle of a jog. You could join me if you'd like." Of course, maybe he didn't even really want to talk to Parke. The boy apparently had many friends, after all. Something Parke couldn't say for himself.
Simon looked at the boy and realised that he hadn't even got the boys name yet, maybe the Slytherin would tell him soon. "What year you in?" Simon didn't even know that.
Simon wondered what to say next. "It wasn't just this school, they didn't want me to go to any school, they wanted me to be taught at home like my father was." Simon decided to say where he was from. "I'm from Hollian." He smiled wondering if the boy had heard of it. "My cousin also comes to this school." Simon hoped that she would turn up, he hadn't seen her for ages.
"I'd love to come jogging with you." Simon smiled. "I'll introduce you to a few of my friends soon." Simon hoped the boy wouldn't mind that after all everyone needed to have some friends.
