Serena nodded as she walked with Alin. 

"Her name was Ember and I think we're going to be great friends." She smiled cheerfully. Her eyes fell on Alin's hand."Alin? Are you alright? Do you need to go to the Hospital Wing? I can walk you there." She asked with concern. "Let me carry some of your books." She grabbed some of his load to make it easier for him. She watched him with worried eyes. 

"Also Alin, you know if you need anything I'm right here. Don't feel like you're alone, I'm your best friend. And best friends stick together remember?" They were just arriving at the Herbology classroom when Serena pulled Alin to the side. She hoped he would let her help him. She knew being alone was painful and she couldn't bare seeing Alin in pain.
