"Yeah, maybe," she said, shrugging. "I just want to be the one that doesn't regret not getting to say goodbye," she said. "There. You asked for the truth," she looked up at him. "That's it."

He nodded, he understood, not nearly as well as she did of course but he did have a small measure of what it was like and he ached for the girl.
"There are some who would be very sad to see you go." he told her softly, " Who would hate not getting to say goodbye, who would like to see you live, and enjoy life."

"Yeah, they always tell you that," she said. "It's a load of bull most of the time, isn't it?"
Besides, she wanted someone to miss her. She was so tired of missing everyone else. It was a painful process, and she just couldn't do it anymore.
"Please just take your cloak."

He furrowed a brow at the semi hostile words, "Oh you don't think that no one would miss you? Your grandparents? Who have lost all their other grandchildren? You don't think that they'd cry for you? " he didn't know her very well, didn't know if she had any friends at this school but there would be those that mourned her.

"I have one grandmother left and she doesn't even remember me," she shot back very defensive now. She was pretty sure she had told him that already.
Why was he prying? Why couldn't he just accept that she wasn't in his class any more and that she wanted to be left alone?

He had made a blunder and he sighed, "You make things so damned difficult sometimes Adele." he finally stood took his jacket and nodded to her, she was always running away from him, always running. Then if there was no one left to miss her, she was keeping herself from knowing others who would miss her...like him.

"Why do you push so much?" She shot back, wondering why she hadn't bolted from the room yet. He finally took his coat... she should go. "Look, I'm still here, all right? Stop trying to fix me. I'm not broken."

"Why do your eyes haunt me at night?" he asked her but inaudibly. She was sad, and soulful, and perhaps he had attributed more to her character than was there but he found her fascinating, and he knew that he wanted to see her smile.
"Someone should make you smile Adele...someone should have at least another somebody to make them smile."

Adele sighed and finally sat down in the desk, since he had walked away and she felt less threatened. She didn't know why he cared so much.
"Any other teacher would have just sent me to Dumbledore, you know," she told him, her own way of asking why he had not.

"Well I'm young and new at this, I could learn yet." he smiled a little defeatedly, wondering that very same thing, it would have been easier to send her to Dumbledore's certainly, but that would have been like admitting that he couldn't make her smile, and he didn't know why it was important that he was the one to do it, it just was.

And yet, he still hadn't sent her to Dumbledore.
"I should go," she said, but she was still sitting there. Where was she going to go, anyway?

He asked that very question, "Where? Where are you going Adele?" did she even have a destination in mind or was all her running simply that, running. He sighed and sat back down eating his oreos while watching her.

"I don't know," she answered honestly, still seated in the desk. "I just don't know where I'm going anymore," she sighed. Or did she even have anywhere to go?

"Then what's wrong with staying?" he asked then in a friendly gesture held out the oreos to her as if they were a grand peace offering. "Try it..." but he wasn't talking about the oreos rather he was telling her to try staying instead of running away.

"No, thank you," she said, shaking her head at the oreos. But she was still in her seat, not yet ready to bolt. He wasn't trying to get close at the moment, and she was okay with that.
"I'm sure you have things to do."

"Yes I'm terribly, terribly busy." he deadpanned looking at her before eating another oreo, "Just look...there's the wizarding gossip pages all laid out for me." he had papers to grade but that was beside the point.

"Why do you keep me around?" She asked. "I could smile and try and convince you that everything is okay, but you wouldn't buy it. And you won't pass me off to someone else... what is it?"

"I have a sadistic nature didn't I tell you? No? Glutton for punishment?" he asked...attracted to unattainable girls? He didn't voice the last one aloud, but for sincerity's sake he shook his head, " You're not a challenge to me so I wouldn't say that you were...you're not a puzzle to solve although that would make more sense, I don't really need to make you smile, and I know you don't really want me around to try and do it...that doesn't really answer your question does it?" he asked as if to say that he too had no idea why he persued so hard.

"No, not at all," she said, and she wondered why she was still here. She felt safe with him... which was exactly why she should bolt.
She didn't know what else to say, but she wanted to keep making small talk with him.

Leaning back he relaxed and it would seem that the less he pressed right now the easier she felt, he could work with that, "So tell me Adele...what do you do for fun...do you have friends in your house?" he asked.
He wanted to get to know her, see what was missing in her life it sounded as if she was so afraid of death that she didn't want to live.
