Christina looked at Harry to see his reaction.He didn't move.Christina laughed nervously,"I wasn't sure when I got here if I would get a letter to Hogwarts but it didn't really matter to me anyway,but to my surprise I did get a letter!"
Harry listened but he didn't take anything in.All he was focused on was Christina's story,"This is so much to take in,but it makes sense in a way,all the times I couldn't reach Sirius and the one burn mark that was unaccounted for on his curtains,plus this box but what does it prove? I have know idea what's in here.What if it's a basilisk and this is just some plan to kill me? But,what if it isn't?"
Harry looked to Christina then back at the box.He turned towards her again.He said,"I don't NEED to be watched over.I can take care of myself."
Harry watched Christina's face fall.Then she said,"I know but I thought you might like to be with someone who knows what you're going through right now."
Harry gave her a disgusted look,"You don't even know half of what I'm going through."
Christina gave a gasp of surprise,looked at the floor quickly,and started to silently cry.
Harry felt no remorse.How dare she try and say she knew what he was going through.No one knew.He was alone and he didn't care if he stayed that way forever.Christina looked back at him with tears streaming down her face in torrents.
She tried to change the subject,"So are you gonna open it?"
Harry couldn't think.His brain was numb.
The only thing that came out was,"So you know Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin?"
Christina wiped some of the tears away but she was still crying,"Oh,well,yeah.They're always bustling in and out.They won't let me leave at all.Minerva is going with me to get my school supplies,I think.The Order members are always having meetings.Sometimes they let me listen because I want to be a member when I get older but they won't let me right now since I'm still in school."
Harry smiled a little,"Look,I'm sorry for what I said before.I guess you do know some of what I'm going through.It's just you had your mum and Sirius.I only had Sirius.Now I have no one."
Christina patted his arm,"It's gonna be ok.Pain takes time to heal but I'm sure we'll be fine.As for myself I doubt I will go back home.I hated it there.I'm more needed here.But I guess I'm needed there too but I can DO more here."
Harry smiled and stared at the box.
Christina looked into his face,"So are you gonna open it?",she asked again.
Harry thought a moment,looked at Christina,and grabbed his wand from her pocket.
