"Maybe, but I should have been paying more attention to what was going on around me too." he smiled at her, not wanting her to take all the blame. As she picked up her things off the ground, Jake watched her and thought that maybe he should help her pick them up, but before he could do anything she was already done. Wow that was fast... he thought. She introduced herself and Jake smiled and nodded. "I'm Jake, Jake Collins." he said, taking her hand and shaking it softly, before he withdrew his hand from hers and ran a hand through his hair.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine, don't worry about it." he told her. As she said she was a healer, he was half temped to act like he was a muggle and ask what a healer was, but he figured it would just freak her out and she would think she was in trouble since muggles aren't supposed to know about magic. But instead he just shook his head, and said, "No it's alright. You don't have to heal me." he said softly, and he sighed. He still had no idea where to go, but he didn't care, at least he found someone to talk to now, maybe.
Jake nodded at her question, and smiled. "Yeah, I did. I graduated this year... but I was supposed to graduate last year, oh well. Better late than never, I always say." he shrugged. He hated having to repeat his seventh year, but he did it and now he finally graduated. "You actually did graduate the year I was supposed to right?" he asked her, because he remembered seeing her around Hogwarts his first seventh year, but he didn't see her anymore during his second seventh year.
