The next few days after Charlotte's outburst were rather awkward at Lupin cottage, and it was safe to say that Lottie felt relieved to be on the train to Hogwarts just a week after it had happened.
"Good Christmas?" Asked Alex, throwing his chocolate frog from hand to hand.
"It was alright," she nodded, "yours?"
"It was spent attending balls....my mum wants to marry me off to a pretty lady! Oh Merlin,I could never do that...but I'm not quite sure how to tell her I'm...you know....the thing...."
"A star fish? A hippogriff?" Theo laughed, his hands stroking Coco, who was on his lap.

"I'm going to go and get changed and then I'll find Harry," she mumbled, standing up and winking at Alex, who smiled nervously at her and then back at Theo. "Look after Coco for me?"
