"Oh my," Padma said, feeling rather stunned. "Neville's mentioned 'being ill' a few times, and that it was a tough year for you two, but he didn't tell me everything."
She took a deep breath, grateful that they were both OK. "I'm glad everything is better for you now. And that Faelan was there to help. I can't imagine how it must have been."
As for Faelan... maybe it wasn't that he wasn't interested, but more that he didn't usually take the initiative. She'd go up to see him in a day or two - maybe she'd learn more then.
"Yes, I can see Neville thinking that way," Padma said. "But I can't think of anything I'd tell Neville that I wouldn't mind you knowing too."
