Fabian frowned as Cale mentioned the Ministry and all this rotten new changes, "He makes a fair point Jason. These changes are new for all of us" he glanced towards the black curtain covering a portrait on the wall. It was Minister Cooper's portrait, since all spells and charms refused to remove his doomed portrait from the wall, Fabian gave up by covering it up.

"It's new times for us and we have to make the best of it. And it is very true the ministry does have an upper hand on the school, thus Jason you should worry more about that than how people or friends are acting. We're living through difficult times" he scowled at the black curtain.

Fabian flexed his second finger out to mention the second point he wanted to address, "Jason you mentioned a girlfriend" his face fell at those words, "trust me. I'm positively going through the same pains as you, if not worse. But we need to be positively optimistic about it and watch our actions if we want to remain to be close to the ones we love. In the meantime we can use owls for correspondance".
