C'mon! He was a wizard, was not he? He was. So, the parchment had to obey him! Behave yourself parchment! However no matter how much he had poked it with his wand, the words that needed to be destroyed still remained there. Even, for a moment, the boy thought, now, they were bigger than the other words on the paper. No way! Yet it was a relief for him to see after blinking a couple of times that they were the same as the other words. Great. Now his eyes had decided to play with him.

Anyway...

If the words were that stubborn and happy with the place they had on the parchment, why did not he just destroy the whole parchment? Well...this idea seemed a little bit mean to him but the words had left him no other way. If only he had another way.

Incendio would do that job efficiently, yep, it would. So, the lion boy was about to cast the 'fire' spell when he had heard footsteps approaching followed by...a question voiced by that certain she-snake.

A question that made him shiver inwardly. Quickly, looking up at the Slytherin girl, Josh managed to put an innocent smile on his face while tucking it back in his pocket.

''No, it's...it's my shopping list for the summer break!''

That was what had escaped his mouth. Shopping list? Seriously? As if he did shopping and cared about a list of it anyway.
