"Lavender..." He paused, looking thoughtful as he tried to remember. It sounded familiar. But he could place it. And then it finally came to him. "Oh! Right, you're.. I read a few times on the boards. You knew Ron, right? Back in school?"
He sighed. "He and my dad were never friends. I swear, as soon as I came, he sounded like I was just as bad. It's not so bad now.. at least he isn't calling out to me with insults. But I think I'm a bit nicer than Dad was. Considering.. that he wasn't really nice."
He laughed nervously, staring down at the grass. "Err, sorry.. hope I'm not bringing up any bad memories or anything. I just miss my parents. I kept wondering if they're gonna show up.. but they haven't."
