Wendall didn't really want to put Lysander in a position that would mean he got into trouble with Professor Summers, but his friend seemed to think that maybe it would be alright to ask him. "I'll pay for it and everything. It would just be easier than going to the store you know," he added, not wanting him to think that Wendall was just trying to cheat him out of his products. The Hufflepuff watched as Lysander petted Nugget, and hesitantly he let Lysander say what was on his mind, even though it was a little bit of an awkward subject and part of Wendall wanted to dig his head into a cupboard. He didn't really know what it meant when Lysander said he didn't know how to, but when he asked him if he wanted to talk about Olive, Wendall had to think for a moment. It was strange, that Olive was already gone from his life almost as quickly as she'd entered into it, and he'd grown closer to her than his own mom in years. "I do." he began, looking at the cat between them rather that at his friend. "I didn't really know Olive for very long, but she was there for me. She taught me things and we had fun." he explained, unsure whether to let the Gryffindor know just how bad things with his immediate family were. He didn't want to make things too awkward with their conversation but he couldn't lie to his best friend. "Olive took me in just before I started school, because she was like.. part of this world, you know? My mom has her own company and she's a muggle, she doesn't know about all this stuff. Most of the time if I'm at home I have to find my own entertainment because she's always too busy," his voice was a little quieter now, "Olive was meant to be like my second home. Leda was a bit rude to her and I think she's sad about that now, but I'm glad that Leda and West said I can stay with them during the holidays." he said, trying to focus on the positives, but as he glanced up to Lysander, he knew he didn't want him to be confused and really it was nice to say it out loud, "My mom hasn't really spoken to me about anything asides from her company for years. When Olive died I thought I would have to go back to her, and okay yeah I love my mom but it's not the same as staying here. Olive isn't really gone, because she still had a lot of influence over my family." The fact that Wendall got to stay here now was all because Olive had opened her home to him in the first place, and he didn't mind talking about the times he'd shared with his cousin. "I do miss her, but I had more fun with her in the last year than I had at home for like, as long as I can remember!" he added, hoping it would make sense to the boy who had always had his family right next to him for support.
