"Thanks and sure." She said knowing that it would be best to have the nurse do it, instead of doing it in the hallway in front of a whole lot of people.

Markise, slight as he might appear, wasn't at all weak, and balance was a strength for him. He helped Tori to her feet as gracefully as he could manage. When she was standing, he caught up his bookbag, slinging it over one shoulder and across his chest to settle against his hip, then picked up Tori's backpack. "You were on your way to the nurse, right?" he asked. "Mind if I come with you? I know my way around pretty well." Mostly because he'd gotten lost so many times his first month at Hogwarts, but he didn't think that needed to be said.

"Yeah, I am, and that acctually would be great, because I've been walking around for about an hour and 20 minutes, and still haven't gotten there." She said this laughing.

Markise chuckled, his eyes sparkling. "I know how that is," he said, turning to walk with Tori. "My first week here I got stuck in a trick stair and ended up missing class waiting for someone to rescue me." Eventually he had been rescued, but it had been a while. And a memorable rescue, at that.

"Um, acctually, I've been here before it's just been a really long time, since I've been back here, so it might take me awhile to find my way around again." She said this smiling and laughing.

"Ah," Markise said, though he didn't make the right connection. His immediate thought was that she'd transferred somewhere else, then transferred back. "Where did you transfer from?" he asked. It was an honest question, since he'd transferred last fall.

"Um, acctually, I didn't find out I was a witch until I was 15, when I recieved my first letter, then somethings happened and I couldn't come until I was 19. I'm from America, Ireland, England, and I think Australia, but don't know. That's all the places my parents lived before they settled down in Ameirca. Then I came here and then I had to leave again. I couldn't come back until now." She said this getting a small smile on her face.

That was a lot to take in and Markise found himself just looking at Tori for a moment absorbing it. Then his eyes flickered over her. "There's no way you're that old," he said, then mentally cringed at himself. "Not that nineteen is old... or however old you are," he said, silently berating himself. But honestly, he'd never have expected to meet a student that was even older than Michael. God, Michael was like, twenty.

"I'm 22, my sister wanted wanted to move here to England, I couldn't talk her out of it, so I decided it was time for me to come back for a second chance at my 7th year, seeing as I walked out and nobody else would take me, so I came back here." She said this smiling a small smile with tears falling down her face.

Markise's brows rose at Tori's story, and he was so surprised by it that it took him a moment to realize she was crying. He was still marveling over the fact that she was older than Michael as he opened the flap on his book bag and went in after a clean handkerchief, offering it to Tori without commenting on her tears. Instead, he focused on her smile. "Well it's good that you came back," he told her. "N.E.W.T.s are just a few months away, are you going to try for them then or what?"

"Oh, err, um, thanks. Probably, I just need to talk to one of the Headmisstress's." She said this realizing that he was her a hankerchief.

"Headmistress Hells is really nice. She's... helped out some of my friends." Markise wasn't entirely sure what that help involved for Silver, but considering how often Silver was out of classes sick, it was obvious that it was a lot.

"Yes, she is quite helpful." She said this smiling about something.

Markise smiled back, though he assumed that Tori's smile had to do with whatever help the Headmistress had given her. He turned his attention back to the direction they were walking and spotted the hospital wing even closer than he'd thought. "It looks like we're here," he said.

"Well, that was fast." She said shocked. "I guess, I'll see you around then."
