"A mizture of happiness, regret and sadness." Leigh whispered, knowing it was not a good sign. He looked up at her. "Tell me, is there anyone who could share your pain, other than your family?"

"That... plus confusion. And others" She leant against the wall next to his bed. She shook her head slowly. "No one i really want to talk to about it. My problems and feeling are my own... dont want to burden anybody else with them."

"I doubt you could burden anyone else. There are lots of people who care for you, make sure they know of your troubles so they can do everything they can to help you out." Leigh said, knowing that Kim would continue to keep things to herself.

Kim pressed her hand to her head. She was silent for a minute but when she did speak her voice shook. "No...No ive done alright till now" she started. She glanced around quikly "Nobody needs know. Its not important.. Its my problem ill deal! Like i always do" She stopped and looked at him. She knew she was probably making no sense at all, or if she did she definatly sounded like she'd fell over the edge and gone a bit crazy. She tried to compose herself "Its nothing, really. Just something.. Nothing its fine. Ill be okay"

Leigh struggled to sit and swing his legs over the side of the bed. "Listen to me, Kim, it's not healthy to keep the pain in! Understand me, do not keep it in! Whatever you do, let someone know what you're feeling right now, ok? Because if you don't then you only have yourself to blame for your problems, yourself to deal with and because of those things you beat yourself up with, you will be alone, with no one able to help you." Leigh forced her to look him in the eye, forced her to listen. "Now, I'll ask again. Is there anyone who can listen to you?"

She turned her back to him. She went to speak but closed her mouth. She knew, somewhere inside her that he was right, but at the same time.. "Ive spent.." she turned to him "Ive spent the last ten years basically alone. Ive dealt with a lot of things and i can deal now" she took a couple of steps away from him and swung her arms by her side. "I never said keeping problems inside was healthy, but sometimes its better that way. Less complicated. Well it is to me, the less people i involve in my problamatic side, messed-up unlevel-headed-Kim side, the less complicated it is" she turned to face him again "I want to talk to people.. I really do. I just cant" her head fell forward "Family thing.. problem communicating unless its babble.. Wierd i know i talk for england but hey!" She looked up "So yeah.. Uhm, unless someone slipped by me unnoticed im saying no. To the uh question about talking to people... Well i dragged that on a bit" she forced herself to smile.

"I don't care if you want as little people involved as possible, Kim. You need to speak with someone. Anyone. Professor Moncrieff, myself, even professor Wigglyfish will listen and help." Leigh said, after a delayed silence by him.

"So basically i dont have a choice? People are going to involve themselves even though i dont want people involved? Oh geez! Why dont you just get me a shrink while your at it! Professor Moncrieff has problems of his own, So does Professor Wigglyfish as i am sure you do. But do i see you running to talk to someone about your problems? No i dont... You dont speak to people, your this closed off person yourself so what gives you the right to tell me to talk?" she glared angrily at him. "And besides" she shrugged and averted her eyes away from his "You should know anyway... And if you dont well thats not my problem." she walked over to him so they were only about a metre apart "You know at least half of one of my problems... Dont tell me you didnt read it. I know you did" she turned away from and walked over to the other end of the infirmary.

Leigh glared at Kim as she walked away from him. He looked at her sister, who was breathing lightly underneath the sheets. He stood, feeling his weak limbs offer resistance, but he fought the urge to sit back down. He began to walk after Kim, his body wracked with pain still, but showing his diligence he continued to walk.
"Fenrir Greyback." Leigh said, with strained effort. "The last surviving supporter of Voldemort, one I am suspose to train you to defend yourself against."

Kim turned on her heel "I know who he is. Believe it or not im not completley thick. I dont walk around with my eyes closed, its called research. I went to the library after i'd ready my fathers journel or diary, you know that place where the musty old books live." She hugged herself tight suddenly feeling very cold. "And how exactly can you train me to defend myself against him? Sure theres curses and other things, but being sort of wandless doesnt help. Do you even know why im interested in finding him? Cause im sick of waiting now" she glared at him but her expression softened. "You shouldnt even be out of bed yet you fool" she said. She walked over to him and let him lean on her for support. She helped him back to his bed and went and stood by the window.

"You want a wand? Go and find Helia." Leigh called out to her. "She was in the Restricted Section, and called for help, so I obliged and pulled her down a book on wand making, and I overheard her speaking to one Jerred Boneman about your wand. She may be able to get you one, or I could give you a temporary replacement."

"I already know" She walked over to him. "She's spoken to me about it. And you cant have a tempory one! The wand chooses the person! Heres me thinking professors were supposed to be smart. Still, open for suggestions." She shrugged "And for once, Kims void of words"

"Strange... you actually accepting help." Leigh said, closing his eyes. "In my office, inside of my desk in a drawer that is the top most left one, lies a wand. A spare one I occasionally use still, it's still in good nick, and the same model as my one." Leigh pulled out his wand and slowly extended his hand over to Kim. "Take a go, see if it feels right for you." Leigh noticed her anxious look.

"I cant" she told him "Nagging voice inside my head yelling at me right now but.. That voice i tend not to listen to. Though occasionaly i should" she began pacing "Okay... Heres the deal.. With me anyway. The reason i dont truely open up to people" she stopped pacing but became fidgity "If you wanna know that is" she collapsed on the floor and pulled her knees upto her. "Its kind of pathetic. I say that because it is and i wanted to beat you to the mark" She smiled

Leigh once again forced himself out of the bed and placed his feet on the floor gingerly. He then kneeled down, his body vibrating with pain.
"Take the wand... give it a go, do it as a way to prepare yourself for Fenrir." Leigh said, suddenly hearing the kicking of sheets as he turned to see Claire, sitting on the edge of her bed staring down at them.
"Take the wand." She said in a warm tone.
