Jonathan doesn't even know if their were enough male Slytherin students in the sixth year?! Last year's quidditch team was composed mostly of girls too.
Finally approaching the guy she had mentioned awhile ago, Kurumi did the introduction because seriously, Jonathan is a lost for words. He barely speaks a complete sentence so being lost for words is definitely speechless mode for him. A LOT. She dd introduce him as her boyfriend and Jonathan gave a friendly smiled to Lewis.
"Hi Lewis." ice breaking conversation. He gestured a hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you." he nodded. Well that was too formal. What else should he do anyway?
Sigh.
"What year will you be this term?" he asked.

Meanwhile the cat had let herself fall onto her side, still right at Kurumi's feet, so she could still have a close eye on Walnut and his owner without having to stand the whole time. Or sit. Or do anything even remotely exhausting.
Okay, his reaction couldn't have been worse, could it? Had he ruined this friendship - or at least she had just called it that - already?! She seemed...a little uncomfortable now. Crap! Only he was really bad at all that friend-making stuff so Lewis wasn't exactly sure what to say either. "I..err. Yes, me too." He finally stuttered as a reply, smiling at her a little hesitantly to show her that yes indeed he wanted them to be friends. But that he was just a little socially awkward and not good at showing it.
With Kurumi gone his full attention was back to Vanilla who was still staring after her. Nudging her gently with his foot she immediately let herself fall back onto her side again and started to purr loudly. He crouched down next to her again, and started scratching her belly. Which he knew she wasn't too fond of. After a couple of tries, Vanilla had finally succeeded at catching his hand and had started licking his fingers in order to make him stop touching her belly.
Hearing his name being said, Lewis glanced up and quickly pulled his hand free again to get back up. Oh. Was that her...boyfriend? Yes, it seemed like it, especially when she introduced him as her boyfriend. Duh! He smiled at her softly when she stumbled over the word 'boyfriend' before taking a quick look at The Boyfriend.
"Uhm...hi." Lewis replied quietly, looking at his face just long enough so as to not have the other boy think him to be rude. Was he...expecting him to shake his hand? After a short moment of hesitation he took Jonathan's extended hand and gave it a half-hearted quick shake. "Fifth. Yes." And then mainly because he didn't exactly feel too comfortable talking to this boy alone he added with a small wave at the boy's girlfriend, "Just like Kurumi." There. Now Kurumi was part of the conversation again too.
Kurumi subconsciously scooted just a little closer to Jonathan as the two boys kind of sort of spoke. Hmm...neither of them seemed to be very talkative around others, but both certainly had no problem holding conversation with her. Boys. Why were they so weird? One would think that growing up with three older brothers would have taught her something, but Kurumi was even more clueless because of it.
Her attention went back to Lewis when he mentioned her name and she nodded. "
Just in time to take your OWLs," she said. Speaking of those, Jonathan should have had his results by now, right? She was sure that he had done just fine based on all the studying they had done together prior, but that didn't make her any less curious.
Okay, so OWLs probably wasn't the best topic of conversation at the moment. Common ground, they needed to find some sort of common ground. Um...
She gave Jonathan's hand a soft squeeze and glanced back and forth between the two of them for a moment. "
No, Lewis, do you have a particular subject that you are most excited for?" Classes were always a decent topic of conversation, yeah? "
I'm more of an Arithmancy, Herbology, and Care of Magical Creatures sort of person, and Jonathan is brilliant in Potions."
