He might as well show her sooner or later. Christopher opened the envelope, reading it one last time before stuffing it back in.
Taking a deep breath, he sighed, folding up the letter. Once it was inside the envelope, he slipped it in his bag, leaning his head back on the chair.
Selina ducked her head through the portrait hole and fixed her hair. Looking around the Common Room mid day she saw very few stragglers. A lot of people were either in class, down on the grounds, or otherwise predisposed in a closet somewhere. She saw Christopher sitting with a letter in his lap. Why a letter? First Adam, now Christopher. It seemed like every time she saw a piece of post now it was bad news.
Gently she sat next to him and said, "Hey Christopher. How are you?"
