At the end of the period Rebecca tabbed him on the shoulder 'hey, lesson is over' she said 'come on. Let's go to the Great Hall to eat lunch'.
The two of them walked back to the Great Hall and sat down at the Gryffindor Table. There they saw Marc again who was coming over. He squeezed himself between Chris and Rebecca 'Hey Becks, Hey Chris!' he said and stuffed his plate full with food. As soon as he took one bite of it he spat it all out 'Jeez! Who cooked this? 'he asked and looked around.
Chris took also a bit 'well, mine is just normal… No, not normal' he said and pulled a weird face 'It's delicious!'
Marc looked at him in disbelief 'can I take a bite?'
'Sure' answered Chris.
Marc tasted some of his food 'Yes….This is fine' he said, sounding surprised.
'Oh Marc' some boy down the table sighed and poked a boy next to him 'How stupid can you be? 'and they both began to giggle.
'Guess the Weasly family has spoiled your food then 'Rebecca said to Marc and grinned at Chris. Chris wondered how this would end… If he had done that at home, God knows what would have happened to him… 'Don't think about that' he said to himself and saw Marc stand up.
'That will be 10 laps around the Quidditch pitch for you both on the next training.' he said to the redheads down the table
'Haha…You must be kidding. Only the Captain can let us do that'
'Since Steve graduated last year and McGonnagal made me captain, I CAN do it 'he smirked.
The redheads looked at him, surprised 'That's great Marc! I'm sure you'll be a great captain' One of them said.
'Thanks Allan, but you still have to run the laps and your cousin as well. Oh and, the tryouts are on Saturday, so don't get yourself in trouble, especially not with Professor Geddit'
'Sir, yes Sir!' Allan yelled, poked his cousin and walked away.
Marc rolled his eyes 'clowns' he mumbled and sat down again. Rebecca began to giggle and looked at Marc who gave her an annoyed look and ignored her for the rest of lunch. 'So' Marc asked Chris 'Where did you go to school before you came here?'
'I was...ehm…home schooled. My father taught me…things' he avoided the question 'I'm off now, gotta go to Muggle Studies'
'Great! That's my next class' smiled Marc 'I'll come with you!' And he got up.
Chris rolled his eyes 'No! You don't! I already told you to leave me alone… Can't you just listen?' He walked away.
Marc looked at Rebecca and shrugged 'I was only trying to be nice.'
'I know' Rebecca smiled at him 'I think he just has to get used to Hogwarts and being around with so many people. You know he hasn't been into a school for many years'
'Guess you're right' He sighed 'but he could at least pretend to be nice'.
Chris walked to the Muggle Studies classroom. He could slap himself. Marc was only trying to be nice. He knew it, but he couldn't change his reaction.
'I can't let anyone close to me 'he thought 'I'll only get them hurt, over and over again.'
'Just give them a chance' said a soft voice behind him. He turned around and saw Dumbledore standing there 'Come to my office please, I want to have a word with you'
Chris followed Dumbledore into his office. Dumbledore sat down and conjured a chair for Chris 'Please sit down'. Chris sat down and looked around the office. His eye fell on Fawkes, the Phoenix.
'Nice Phoenix you have there sir' He said and looked at Fawkes.
'Thank you Mister Deban' Dumbledore said, clutched his hands together and looked at Chris. Then he stood up and walked towards Chris. He took his left arm and pulled his sleeve up. Chris felt that he got red in his face, he felt ashamed. Ashamed for what happened at Christmas 2 years ago. '
Well well' said Dumbledore and he touched the skull that was engraved in Chris' arm.'Since when does Voldemort take children in his service?' He shook his head 'How did this happen?' he asked Chris, but Chris just pulled his arm back
'I'd rather not talk about it, Sir.' He stood up 'I have to get to class Sir' And without looking back he walked away.
