He had known her name. The Thatchers had told him but he would not count it against her. After all, she couldn't know what had and had not been said between the couple and himself. Best that she never know, actually.
"I am Sir Godric Gryffindor. It is a pleasure to meet you, Kimberly." He bowed his head cordially.
"I would not worry about the money. As I said, you have plenty of time to earn what you can and if it is not enough, I shall supply the rest. Your taking care of your own horse once you start school in the fall will be worth the money. One less thing for me to do as I will be one of your teachers as well." He gave her a charming half-smile.
Godric finished his dinner, then tossed another few sticks on the fire to keep it going. "Now, as I said earlier, it is quite the long trip ahead of us so I suggest we get some sleep while we can. We're going to need it. I might not be here when you wake up as I will have to go for my horse but please do not leave before my return. I would hate to have to hunt you down again." He requested, pulling a small square of wool from his jacket. Knowing it would probably not win him any favors, he had no choice. This was the only covering he had.
Thus he drew his wand once more and enlarged the blanket. Standing up, he circled around the fire and draped it over her shoulders. "Get some rest and I will see you in the morning. Promise." Then he whistled and pointed to the spot next to Kimberly so that the dog would come and lie down with her, offering more heat to keep her warm if the fire died while he was gone.
