We both laughed for a bit until we were back in silence then lion said "and you?"
"What?"
"Why can't you talk to friends"
"They don't understand"
"Understand what?" I thought for a moment and choosing my words carefully I said
" my dad has high expectations and my mother is always worried, they want me to keep up my reputation" I said scrunching up my nose.
" ah that sucks, why do you go along with it?"
"Lion, I'm 13 if I didn't go along with it my parents would disown me. I can go living on the streets at 13!"
"Oh ya sorry" he said
"No it's fine. What about you? Tough family?"
"Oh ya, I live with my aunt and uncle..." he paused probably deciding wether he could tell me that or not. " uhh I live with my
Aunt and uncle and they are just so unfair! I have to clean for them, cook for them, do everything and if I mess up I'm done for. Like I can't eat for like a Month!"
I was stunned even my parents had only done that a few times and mother had always brought him food after father had gone to bed.
"Lion, I'm so sorry that sucks."
"Tell me about it! But I spend most of the year at Hogwarts so I'll survive." I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. Pity. Something lion really didn't need.
"You still there snake?" Oops I must've spaced out.
"Yea" I said
"How do you feel about the dementors?"
"What do you mean?"
" um like are they scary to you?"
"Definitely" I said without a second thought. I would never tell any of my friends about it but I had had a few nightmares about dementors sucking out my soul. "You?"
"Absolutely, like I know that they are here to keep out Sirius Black but I mean they have already attacked a student, I don't know what they are thinking!"
"The school or the dementors?"
"Both honestly" he said. I took a deep breath and thought for a moment before saying.
"I've had nightmares about dementors and Sirius black." There was a pause then
"so have I!" I chuckled, lion had so much energy. "I can't believe Sirius black escaped Azkaban! I also heard he was in League with Vo... er he who must not be named." I swear he almost said the dark lord's (as my father calls him) name, but I dismissed the thought.
"Ya I heard that to" I didn't say that I had heard it from my father, but that part wasn't really necessary. We talked for a while about Sirius black, dementors and other neutral things until my watch read 4:30 am and I stood.
"It's late I should try to get some sleep."
"Ya... you wanna do this again?" He asked.
"Sure. Tomorrow?" I asked
"Sounds great same time?"
"Ya. I leave first..." I checked my watch. " give me 5 minutes"
" ok, nice talk"
" ya nice talk" and with that I pushed through the door and walked quickly down the corridor.

Hi lovelys! I hope you like this chapter! Thank you!!
