"Sounds fair," Kel replied, rolling his eyes as he looked down. Note to self: Don't cry out in pain, he thought sarcastically. He didn't need to have Jenn all worried about him over a stupid thing like jabbing the back of his mouth with a sugar quill. He laughed shortly in response to her comment about having enough candy, and was actually smiling when he looked up at her after she nudged him in the ribs. "We should go to a Candy Anonymous meeting and confess of our obsessions with Sugar Quills and Pumpkin Pasties." he mused teasingly.

He looked at her, worried, as she looked away from him after telling him more about how she'd ran away from home. Did she expect him to yell at her? If anything, he would've thought that she would realize he could understand. It seemed to him - although he'd never met them - that her parents were a lot like hers. He knew what it was like to have parents that didn't want you to go to Hogwarts, he'd dealt with that problem since he'd first gotten his Hogwarts letter at eleven years old.

"Jenn," he muttered, reaching forward to move the sheet of hair away from her eyes. "I'm not gonna lecture you about running away, I hope you know. I'm just glad that you had a place to stay and that you made it back to Hogwarts." He gave her a look as if to say that if she wanted to be yelled at for disobeying her parents, she'd have to go find someone else.
