Cyrus noticed this, but chose not to comment. He had been
silently watching the interplay, eating his Cauldron
Cakes. Having not seen Amber at the station, he was
unsure why she was suddenly so embarressed.
Kadyn saw Amber blush, and tried to figure out why. After a
sudden revelation, he exclaimed "I was right! The boy she was
looking for was that boy you were fighting with, back on the
platform!" Kadyn smiled, then began to think of why she was
blushing over this.
Amber shot Kadyn a dark glance then started to actually
read the book Cyrus had been reading both to distract her
mind and also to lose some redness of her face.
"What?" Kadyn frowned. "What did I say?" Kadyn shook his head.
"Girls" he thought silently to himself. He looked at the book. " What
are you reading? "Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them". Where did
you pick that up, Cyrus?"
[OOC: What's in the book?]
"Flourish and Blott's, in Diagon Alley." Cyrus replied.
