But being back at Hogwarts did lift his spirits, if anything!

"Oh, that's really cool! I didn't know they could play!" He laughed when she told of the Slytherin, Elektra. "Guess I spoke too soon!" But when Violet's news came up, Christopher blinked in surprise. "Violet? Le Veela? Quidditch?" The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. She had the perfect seeker's build, she was fast, had a sharp eye. But he'd never really seen her fly, or even so much as think about Quidditch. Selina must've rubbed the sport onto her over the summer. He grinned and asked, "Is she going to try out for the Hufflepuff team? That'd be really cool if you two got to play against one another!" Best friends on the field. That'd be.... interesting.

"My- my summer?" Christopher stammered in surprise. Oh gee.... "Well, you know. It's not exactly the ideal situation. But we're making it the best we can." His dad was barely hanging on, but he was alive. And that was all that mattered to the Gryffindor. Being able to see his dad as much as possible. He shrugged and sipped his pumpkin juice. "Elyon's birthday was in July, we celebrated. We had a few balloons, I got her a small gift from myself, and one from each of our parents. Dad's too sick and Mum didn't bother. I made a cake, but it was hard. I'm not much of a cook. Now that Elyon and I have become vegan, it was even worse. She ended up helping me make cookies instead." He shrugged and smiled a little. Atleast he had some fun with El!
