She'd mentioned that her dad wasn't around, which made Christopher really upset too. She'd never got to have one, and if he'd been at all like his own father, that'd be a real shame. But since he left a great girl like Cass, he obvioiusly wasn't. But Christopher's dad would being leaving him too, in a different sense. He'd always be with him in his heart, but he'd never be there to comfort him anymore.

"I don't really know. I wish I did though. Then maybe I could fix everything." He couldn't just not be a wizard, so he'd have to find another way to make his mother care for her children again. She thought it was all his fault too. He'd gotten his letter first, so he was the freak who'd brought on such an 'epidemic' to their household. Or so Sofia James thought.

"What!?!" How could someone as sweet as Kurumi poison cookies!? I mean, the kid had only talked to her once or twice, but she was really nice and very talented from what he'd gathered in classes and around school and the common room and everything. "People were probably just jealous." Maybe Selina or Violet or someone had been jealous and started the rumor. But that still didn't explain Levi's abnormal hatred for him.... Maybe that was just the way things were meant to be. But he really hoped the rumor wasn't true. He valued their friendship to much for anything more just yet.
