But then...oh, she didn't believe the Bludger part, did she? And he was being one hundred percent honest about that one. Er, well, not exactly. But what he was saying made total sense...to him. Maybe not to Melanie, and certainly not to Jake. Perhaps to Simon it did, if Treyen explained those things to him, of course.
And almost instantly he started to shake his head,
"No, no, that's not the reason why I don't like him," he started to say,
"I don't like him because--," he stopped and eyed the floor, and no, he was NOT thinking the reason, he was thinking what to say next,
"I don't trust him, Melanie, that's all," he said, as he looked up to the girl, or as much up as a chair would allow.
"And since I don't like him, then it annoys me that he's there," except now he wasn't. Lucky for Jake.
Well, Treyen wasn't going to explain the Divination part to Melanie, because in all fairness, he had no idea what had happened there,
"I believe I didn't collide with him at Quidditch, he just didn't move, he stayed there," his tone was pretty monotone by now, the topic wasn't much to his amusement,
"in my way," get it? As if Treyen was a King of the sorts and Jake was the one that needed to make room for him.

That made a little more sense. Melanie hadn't the faintest clue why he would distrust Jake, though. She didn't bother to ask. While the girl
was curious, she didn't want to be too nosy. Regardless, she couldn't help but comment.
"He's always been really nice... I dunno, Treyen, I think you've judged him wrong." she replied, eyebrows drawing in a little. Hufflepuff's
were supposed to be trustworthy, after all.
She shook her head.
"And I understand what you mean, but you have to take into account that people aren't just going to move out of your way." While she saw what Treyen was trying to say, or at least she thought she did, Melanie still didn't agree with the reasoning. She stood to her feet, and gathered her books up off the ground, before turning to face him again.
"I think I'm going to head to the library." Homework and studying and all.
"See you around?" She smiled slightly, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
