If he was going to do Quidditch this year, he had to start his schoolwork NOW in order to get the same kind of grades as he did last year. Right? Probably. He wasn't taking a chance.
He plopped down in an empty car and pulled Beans from his pocket and smiled at the little rat. "Nox isn't going to hurt you. I hope you two become good friends," he said to his pet as he rubbed the top of his head. The rat just stood there and looked around, uninterested in his master as usual.
THIS was why Caleb needed Baldwin. He needed a pet who actually CARED about what he did for a change. Sigh.
Okay, so NOW Sophie needed Caleb. She had been in an all out eye-rolling mood toward him until that older girl just HAD to go and put her in a bad mood. Now Sophie had to find her brother and hope he didn't remember all those eye rolls from earlier. The last thing she needed was to be turned on by her loyal dog of a brother.
Finding him, she pushed open the compartment door and plopped on the seat next to him.
"Caleb," she half-whispered,
"that older girl is a BEAST." She paused then added,
"But don't let her know WE think so." Yes, she had lumped her brother into those supposedly mutual feelings.
"I asked her to sit with us, and she flat out told me NO." "I don't think I like her, so now you have to not think you like her either," she declared. If she had to, Sophie would lie and say the girl called Caleb a BIRD BRAIN right after he left. Nox slid into the compartment as well, and the door shut behind him.
