That would stink to have to go to the infirmary after only a few hours if being at Hogwarts. "And don't worry about making friends. I'm pretty shy too, but you'll meet lots of new people in the dorms, classes, and even in the corridors and the Great Hal! I know you'll make friends, Matti Matilda." The thirteen year old gave her a reassuring smile.



"Oh, that's good then...." Christopher frowned still, looking worried. He wasn't going to press the older boy about why he was so upset, but he was starting to feel a little agitated by Levi's rude behaviour towards him. They'd been fine when they first met, and out of nowhere, the dark Gryffindor began acting very cold towards him. He could atleast pretend to be polite. "Look, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but I just have to ask you this. What have I done to make you so upset? I'm really sorry, but I just don't see why we can't be friendly towards one another," Christopher said, exhasperated by Levi's behaviour. He had problems at home too, but he wasn't going around acting like a jerk. Christopher had been polite as he could, but now he just wanted to find out what Levi's problem was. Maybe then he could atleast try to fix it.



Christopher sighed in relief. "Oh thank goodness, Selina Skylar you had me really worried for a second! You looked as if the worst had happened!" So it was just one of Selina's cousins. He'd worried that Violet had ignored him, or thrown out all of his post, or that his owl had been cursed or had developed some sort of brain damage. Selina must'ce just over-reacted at first.

These cousins did sound quite interesting. He wanted to know a bit more about Selina's family, they all seemed so close from what she'd described. [/B]"So your cousins? What are they like? Do they go to Hogwarts?"[/B] The young Gryffindor wondered what it'd be like to have a big family with aunts and uncles and tons and tons of cousins. After all, he only had a sister and his parents. They were a pretty small family.
