...only...was that a new Aparecium paper on his favourite couch?
Grabbing it, he started to read with a deep frown on his face. It was hard to believe, but the frown got deeper and deeper with every sentence and... he had a difficulty in gulping. Alec, his idol... and Ella, his other idol.
Had she seen this?
She was tired and on her way back from the owlery, the latest letter from home in hand. Dad was still being pretty vague about everything but she was still worried. He'd never kept stuff like this from her before. It was just...bad timing considering she couldn't be home.
The blonde's expression softened a bit as she entered the common room and found Forrest there. It was nice to see a friendly face and she could honestly use a distraction.
"Hey Forrest." He wouldn't mind some company for a little while, right? Not that he had a choice. The seventeen year old was already moving to sit next to him, letter tucked safely into her pocket as she went.
