Okay, maybe that was a stupid question, Elijah thought as his father just sort of stared at him after he asked if he could go all the way out to Hogsmeade tomorrow. It would be one thing if he just wanted to get out of the house and maybe spend time at the shop or go to the park or something, but Hogsmeade was far and even for someone as stir-crazy as Elijah was these days, it was a bit much. His cheeks flushed slightly when he finally asked him if he was sure, because honestly? He wasn’t. He was exhausted just walking over to the office and he was actually quite terrified due to the trauma the dragon attack caused to feel comfortable being so far from his family right now. But, he also was bored and he really wanted to see people who were his own age. “I promised my friends that I’d see them the first chance I got,” he said as a sort of non-answer to his question, though he did enter the office and sit in one of the empty chairs because he was tired, “It’s boring just laying in my room.”
