I sat at my desk, once again glancing at the clock. thirty minutes ago, my class started but no one ever came. I sigh and walk to the blackboard, erasing it the muggle way not realising it at all.
At home I was used to doing everything that way, and probably only use magic when I had to. I walk around the desk and sigh, looking at their blank pop quizzes on the solar system.

I walk up to the astronomy tower with my hands in my pockets. I wasn't intending to go to any classes, seeing as I'd dropped out of Hogwarts when Alex was born, but I still liked to wander around sometimes.
And this was one of my favourite places to go, even if it held a lot of unfortunate memories.
I pause in the doorway, realising that I'm not alone, but relax again when I realise that it's just Shell, "No class today or something?"

I stare at my desk, thinking it was a student. "No, of course there's class today. All of you decided to skip. That's why no one's here." I say in a cold tone. I pick up the papers and toss them in the garbage can, knowing that they no longer had any purpose.

I grin slightly, shaking my head amusedly as she mistakes me for a student, "I guess I'd hate to be in your class then. I'm fearful of your wrath Shell."

I turn around slightly, about to make a comment when I see Ian standing there. "Oh... hey." I say weakly, shuffling my feet a bit out of embrassment, for yelling at him.

"Hey," I grin, "You're quite funny when you're mad you know. Just an observation."

"I wasn't mad! I was uhhh... frustrated." I say putting a hand through my hair.

"Frustrated?" I sit down on a window ledge, watching her, "Cos no one's shown up for class?"

"Yes. third time this week." i say taking my hair out of it's bun. I only put it up for class, and since there wasn't one I didnt' see the point.

"Put them all in detention?" I suggest.

"Ha. Yeah, like they'll go to detention Ian. They won't come to the class. What makes you think that they'll go to get punished?" I say with an amused face.

I laugh, "Ah, okay, not much. But it might make you feel better to know that you have punished them, even if they don't turn up."

I sigh softly. "Alright..." I look at all of the detention forms and magically start my quill to write them. "So, how are you?"

"I'm pretty good. How are you?"

"Well, as of now annoyed... but I." I look to the ground. "I'm still upset over Zachary."

My grin slips completely, "What-...?" I can't quite finish the question so I just leave it hanging.

"I lost the baby during the fight..." I say feeling my tears form.

"Oh Shell," I stand hesitantly, lightly putting my hand on her arm, not sure how to comfort her or what to say.

I look up at him, wrapping my arms around his waist sobbing slightly, knowing he probably wasn't too thrilled about it. "I'm sorry... it's just." I trail off realising he couldn't understand through my tears.

"Shell," I mumble, wrapping my arms round her lightly, "It's alright."

I continue holding onto him, seeing that the tears weren't going to stop anytime soon.

I rub her back lightly, still holding onto her, not sure what I could say to make this alright.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be holding onto you." I say looking up with make up running from my eyes.

"Thanks..." I say before wiping away some of tears.

"I really don't know..." I say looking back straight ahead. For being as short as I was, it was a direct look at his lower chest.

"I'm here if you need anything, you know that?" I ask softly.
I'm suddenly struck by how very short she is. Maybe I've grown taller or something.

I look up. "How tall are you..." I ask him, still crying a little. I was barely 5'2''.

"Just over 6ft," I tell her, forcing a weak laugh, "How tall are you?"
