He smiled back. Because it was only polite.
"I'm fine," he panted, but he didn't have the energy to smile any further. "Books 'n' clothes." He was lucky his arms didn't break while he dragged it. It carried a whole year's stuff. "That's what the Headmistress promised." He knew the girl, but he was still shy around her.
He was fine? Good. Although in Sarah's opinion being fine only meant that your heart was beating and you were breathing and stuff, which he was doing, although heavily.
Sarah nodded.
"I would love to help you get it off the train if you would like" the fifteen year old said.
The previous term Sarah would not have taken the headmistresses words to heart, yet she had been working on herself over the summer and was going to try include the headmistress in the people to be judged favourably. plus, the headmistress was an adult which meant they were wiser and Sarah had to respect that. "
It would be great if they are, yet I am usd to not having houselves at home and at Hogwarts we can use magic so we can manage without them. Of course I would not mind them being there and stuff." Another smile.
"by the way, have you asked your parents why they named you Forrest? You now sort of suit it, yet Forrest is still unique"
