Okay so maybe those weren't her exact words but Marie knew that's what she meant. "Right, that will never happen. Ev isn't the type of person that ever admits defeat."
"Right, no big deal." She still had plenty of time to study... and to freak out over this exam.
Marie could tell by Jim's reaction that her kiss had taken him by surprise. Good, she liked surprising him like that. Keep him on his toes that way.
"Why would anyone be intimidated by her?" James didn't get it. "Pretty little slip of a thing with a chip on her shoulder, must be a bit messed up in the head if she's angling to make people hate her." Well Jimmy wasn't gonna. So Evelyn could just deal with it.
And enjoy the Dragon claw/horn/thing whatever it was that he'd bought for her.
... that he'd bought for her admittedly just to brass her off.
"She doesn't have to
admit defeat." Grin. "Body language says a lot you know?" Yep. He bothered her. He knew it. But honestly he'd prefer it if she just sucked it up and got to know him a little better. They could be friends, he was sure.
"I promise you'll be fine." He winked at Marie before heading off to talk to Satine.

She glanced around him momentarily to glance at the table...surely he let his girlfriend leave before he came over here after the way she had reacted to Satine. Nope still there...
She focused back in on Jimmy and her smirk became her usual welcoming smile. "Hey Jimmy! I was hoping you still remembered me since our last convo got a little firey at the end of it." she said with a little giggle. "O rude...I'd never think you were rude..." she said swinging her legs down to touch the floor and placing the magazine down beside her on the seat..."I just could tell that you were..." pause, "ummm...busy....but guess that counts as the anything...." she said looking back up meeting his eyes with a combination between a smile and a smirk on her face.
She glanced over at the magazine when he mentioned it. "Oooo...well it's about the most beautimous places in the Wizarding World...." she paused trying to explain something that she was afraid he would think stupid..."to host events...I want to be Wizarding and Muggle Event and Wedding Planner someday, so I'm always looking at books to see places that would make a great venue for these events." she said with her face lit up....this was her passion and what she had her heart set on even if her parents thought it was a waste of her brains...o well...
She smiled and then glanced over his shoulder towards his girlfriend and then back at him....a little awkward not talking to him that was never awkward in her opinion...but awkward with her looking at Satine.
"Pshh yeah little is right." Jim grinned. "Honestly it wasn't that big of a fire." Yeah he should know, he did go through a mild... lets call it 'pyromaniacal' stage as a kid. "Best way to put out a fire is to starve it, rather than dowse it. Like, conjure a bubble and siphon the oxygen out. Works like a charm and doesn't make so much smoke either, contains what you do get." He leaned against her seat, one hand gripping the back of it behind her head as he leaned forward to whisper to Satine.
"I suppose I was." Jimmy spoke quietly enough not to be overheard. "Marie's my girlfriend. She's mostly pretty awesome." He straightened up and crossed his arms over his chest, grinning crookedly.
"Events huh? My mum always wanted to hire our manor house out for that sort of thing, but my dad's not so into it." He thought about it. "I probably would though, be kinda nice to see people around there." And enjoying his garden too, not that he'd say that out loud or admit to anyone that most of the hard work that went into the garden at his home came from him.
Jim Wilkes never admitted to hard work if he could help it.
"Maybe I'll show you a picture some time." He waggled his brows at Satine. "I'd offer you reasonable rates. You know, in the future when you're a famous wedding planner slash event coordinator." He paused. "You must throw a mean party, huh?"

WHAT!?
He was going to go talk to his friend and just leave her standing there. Before she even had a chance to object he was walking away. Watching where he went her eyes fell upon the girl with the purple hair.
Really!?
He was going to talk to the girl that was the reason behind that kiss she had just given him. Friends huh? And what kind of friend would she be? Obviously one he didn't want to introduce to his girlfriend. She couldn't believe he had just done that. If she would have seen one of her friends there she would have NEVER left him standing. No, she would have wanted to introduce him to her friend... even if it was another guy.
She leaned back against the wall and glared in their direction. 'Yeah, I'm watching you two.'
*GLARE!*
Strike one James Wilkes!
Jimmy?
Didn't even notice the glaring.
Actually he thought Marie'd go wait outside the library and all, rather than wait right there, expecting it to the point where he didn't even turn around to check.
