She knew that at some point it would have to happen, but she didnt even get to say goodbye to her! Her friends were being kind to her, in a way that nobody ever had, she was greatful to have friends like them. Rachel remembered about Presley's mum, she knew how it felt to lose somebody dear to her. Luna was lucky, but she was being really sympathetic to her, at least she had her dad.

It would have been slightly better had her dad come to Hogwarts to tell her, but he hadn't. Though Presley was sure he was a nice man, she couldn't help feeling a bit resentful toward him for this. "Rachel, if there's anything you need, or want, do not hesitate to ask. I can get your homework for you if you don't feel up to class, I can make you sweets, I can just listen while you talk, anything. I mean it. And I'm sure Luna too." Presley glanced sideways at her friend. Luna would definitely be up to the task of helping Rachel through this tough time. Presley knew just how important those things were to somebody in this situation. She knew how sometimes a passing person asking how you were doing could either make your day, or make you start bawling your eyes out. She didn't want Rachel to have as rough a time of it as Presley knew it could be, and she was determined to do anything to make this even the tiniest bit easier for her.
