Leaning against the wall Penny stared at the hourglasses and tried not to think about how late it was getting. JD was supposed to meet her here when he got done with the Charms Professor. And he still wasn't here. She hoped nothing was wrong. The post had come in earlier and she was fairly sure she had spotted JD's owl. Running a hand through her red hair the Ravenclaw paced in front of the glass tubes some more. She hoped he was okay.

His shoulders were drooping as he left the classroom. He'd thought he'd felt bad before with the stupid magic issues, and now his father just had to make it worse didn't he? Rubbing it in his face that he couldn't go back to the island. AND now his grandfather had died, and he was still told he COULDN'T go to the funeral or nothing.
Kicking a tiny pebble that was on the floor near his foot he nearly passed Penny who was pacing it appeared. "Penny!" Darn it...he was supposed to have met her! "I am so sorry!" he said hurrying over.
Penny nearly tripped but the fact that it was almost over JD's foot didn't make it as bad. The red head was about to get fired up but the look on her face doused the fire. "What's wrong?" She could see it written all over his face something had happened.
"It's okay." She touched his arm lightly. "It's everything okay?"

Swallowing, he took a deep breath. "I jus' got a letter from me dad" he said quietly. He was so upset it he wanted to break more figurines, but figured if he even tried that Professor Brown may take points next time. Moving over to the stairs he took Penny's hand in his, "And it wasn't the best news, besides him gloating thet is, about me not bein' able te come te the island."
Sitting down on the third step from the bottom, he kept his hand in hers, studying their hands.
Penny followed him over to the stairs and sat down. He had a hold of her hand like it was a tether, keeping him from flying off the handle. She could sense his tension and his sadness. Her free hand went to his knee and she put her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry hun. That must be really terrible." She felt an anger boil up inside her at the injustice that his father was exacting on him.
Instead she kissed him on the cheek and moved closer. "You wanna talk about it?" Sometimes it was good to get these kind of things off your chest but guys weren't so big on the talking stuff. JD especially. She wasn't going to push him though. He would come to her in his own time but she wanted to make sure he knew that the offer was open.

In spite of his anger and irritation at his dad, he still smiled as she put her head on his shoulder. If his dad wasn't such a bloody prat, he'd be happy! Hearing her question he sighed letting his breath out really slow, just to try to keep himself in check. He wasn't gonna cry, he was just too angry for that still. But he wasn't wanting to break down there either. "Me grandfather died." he said simply.
Glancing her way he lowered his eyes again, "And ye can probably figure the rest."
Penny listened quietly trying to cover her shock and outrage. It didn't take but a moment to connect the dots. His father had not only written to rub it in some more that he couldn't go home but to tell him that his grandfather had passed. Which rubbed salt in the wound considering he couldn't go to the funeral. That was torture for JD. Her mind whirled and she squeezed his hand to show her support.
After a while she finally turned to him. "What if we do somethin' for your grandpa here?" It was a long shot and totally up to him but she thought it might help.

His eyes lifting and looking back over at her in surprise. He'd not thought of that, he wasn't sure if anyone would come but at least he could do something to remember his grandfather by. "Thet would be awesome!" he said softly. If nothing else, he'd definitely have remembered his grandfather in a good way.
"What should we do?" he asked squeezing her hand back.
Penny smiled loving that his own smile had returned. She loved seeing him smile. "I think you should decide what we do. Back home we do something that reminds us of our lost loved one and then we have a bon fire at the end." Though the fire was probably a bad idea since they were at school.
"What do you think we should do?" It was his grandpa after all.

Thinking about his times back with his grandfather, he remembered the farm and all, but the one thing he remembered most was him taking JD fishing. "Maybe go fishing..." he replied, "In the black lake..."
Stretching his legs out in front of them, he grinned slyly "Wonder what the squid likes to eat."
Penny grinned along with him and nodded. The mention of the squid made her stomach churn but she didn't say anything. Secretly she didn't think he would succeed on that front but fishing still sounded like fun. "Where are we gonna git fishin' gear? I don't know bout you but I left my stuff back home." She grinned at him wondering how they were going to by pass that little hitch.

Scratching his chin, he tilted his head a little "Well, me grandfather always said never be without a hook. So I have a few of those in my trunk somewhere." Twisting his lips a little he thought some more, "The rest I think we could make, and just make do." he replied with a laugh. This was becoming more fun by the minute, his excitement was growing.
In the six years he'd been there he'd never gone fishing!
Penny laughed and nodded. Well everyone had their quirks and JD's grandpa sounded like a person she would have liked. Thinking quickly she looked at her boyfriend. "I think I know where to get some poles. You go and get the hooks and I'll meet you by the lake with the poles and line." She looked thoughtfully for a moment. "I'm not sure what type of bait would be best for catching squid."

A smile that finally reached his eyes appeared on his face. "Perfect." he said before kissing her on the cheek and standing up helping her to her feet. "I'll see if maybe one of the house elves might know, and meet ye outside."
