He was silent for a moment before he continued. "But you know I'm glad that they decided to abandon me, because knowing them they've probably already moved, and if I was still with them, then I would have had to move, and I would have had to left Hogwarts. I'm glad that I can stay here with all the great people I've met. I swear you guys are more of a family to me than they ever were!"
Almost to emphasize the seriousness of what Adam had just said the tea pot started whistling to signify that the water was hot enough. Taking out two cups from the small cupboard above him Adam poured water into each before dropping in a tea bag into each one of them. He carefully carried the two cups over to the sitting area, handing Louisa hers before sitting down next to her on the couch.
"You stay here too?" Adam said, slightly surprised, but he wasn't really entirely sure why. "I thought you'd stay with Marina for the holidays. Not that I'm saying I want you to, because if you're here than it will save me from what I am sure will be days of utter boredom," Adam said with a little chuckle. Adam had picked up the string connected to his tea bag, bobbing the bag thoughtfully in the water when Louisa mentioned Paulie and her hat. "He took your hat?" Adam said, his mouth falling open slightly. "Well...no worries. I'll get it back for you...although Paulie is a stealth little bugger when he wants to be so it might take me a bit to find it," Adam said with a bemused shake of the head.
Louisa listened to Rubiey's story and she was moved by it quite easily. "
Poor girl. Does she get back to her house, though? In the summer I mean." If yes, then Louisa couldn't have Adam all for herself during the summer either...
...what? She was still on the same page with Rubiey even if she had a sad family story because really who had a perfect family? Mm?
The girl took her cup and started blowing gently, she didn't like hot things burning her tongue. When she had to answer, however, she stopped the childish act, "
Marina works. She also has a boyfriend and a really sick father, I don't think she'll have time for me." Another blow to the tea then she went on, "
My mom asked me to come home, though, but I don't want to go. I'd rather stay alone at Hogwarts." And by alone she meant with no family. "
But again, you guys are my family here, too." She repeated Adam's phrase with a big smile.
