Amber's attention. He refused to meet eye contact with her
and acted normal, as if nothing had happened, though in reality
she had really creeped him out, and he was wondering what she
had been talking about. Kadyn shook off the thoughts of what
had happened and called to her again. "Amber?"

Diagon Alley. They had me stay with my Muggle grandparents,
and then i had to take a train here from there house. I thought
I was running late, but i guess not..." His gaze drifted towards
the place where the train should have been.
