Skye started up the stairs, still thinking about what her brother had told her. She climbed another flight and saw Lyra. She sped up to catch up with her and said "hey. how's the day so far?"

Lyra jumped at the words "family stuff". She associated horrible stuff with them....but she pulled herself together and said:"Oh, right, you don't have to, I was just wondering if everything is okay. " She added: "Hey Skye, you know you can talk to me if you need help, right?" She was a bit worried abouit her friend.

"yeah I know." Skye thought for a moment. "well here's the deal. derek got a letter from our mum last week. she and our dad are moving to the United States where our little sister is living with a family friend. We are probably going to have to live with our cousins in Wales now. are you sure you are OK because you kind of jumped a minute ago"

Lyra didn't know what to say. That was terrible! "Oh, I'm..I'm okay, I'm just....I'm... worried about YOU!Wow, that's...bad. Okay, but explain this to me: Why does your little sister live in the US with a family friend? Why do your parents have to go there all of a sudden? And why are you not going but will live with your cousins in Wales? Will you still be able to come to Hogwarts? Wow, that was a lot of questions...," Lyra noticed.

"yes we'll still come here. and it doesn't say in the letter but Derek thinks they are trying to get the magic out of their family, we're the only wizards in the family and Derek thinks they want to get away from all that.That's also why they sent her to the U.S, so she wouldn't nkow about magic or anything like it." said Skye with a slight sigh.

"Your parents want to get the magic out of your family? That's horrible!" Lyra said. She was truly upset. "And they're going to abandon you? Send you to your cousins? Are they muggles, too?"

"Bye Skye, and good luck!", Lyra said. She turned around and finally went up to the Gryfindor common room, still thinking about what Skye had just told her. Poor Skye and Derek. She really was sorry for them.

Professor Mcgonagall was sitting at the big table with the other teachers as she had for many years. She was not too pleased with the crop this year, as she had met them all earilier before the sorting ceremony and all they could talk about was a lost toad.
