Zhenya was shocked when she heard everything he was saying about his family. It was so sad, but she didn't want to be upset for him. His mother's condition? His father died in an accident? That was so awful. "Gary... you can talk to me about anything if you want. I won' tell anyone," she said. No, if he wanted to tell her about his family she wouldn't tell anyone. But she had a feeling he would never want to tell her about it. She understood, of course, but she wanted him to know she was there.

She sighed. "I don't want to apologise to him first. I'm just angry at him, I don't know... look, Gary, something is going on with my family. They won't tell me what it is and now they have you involved in whatever it is I'm sure of it! I can't stand it here anymore! I don't want to be here, I want to go back to Hogwarts," she said, with her voice getting louder and louder. She was starting to get worked up. She crawled out of bed and started pacing up and down her room, with her hands clutching her hair.
