 "The call me 'her', the call me Jane...that's not my name" *sings* xD The Kisapaths | Sila!Roti | -2 | TouchableHair | ToiletPaperGuy | QueenOfConfusion
Lewis kept on staring at the Head Girl in confusion when she didn't really seem to hear what he'd just said. "But...that's not my name. It's...Lewis." Didn't she understand that his name wasn't Mister Huffie? So there was no need for her to call him anything but his name, right? He blinked at her a couple of times when she added what he would get to call her. "I-is Sel your name then?" Or was that another nickname? Why was she being all confusing? Was she doing that on purpose?
WHAT?!
And now they were talking about ice cream? "I......do too?" Lewis offered, throwing Sel yet another confused look. Was that a good thing that they both liked Vanilla ice cream? It wasn't his favorite but you know, just making conversation. Or something. Now he wanted ice cream though. And she had understood that his cat was called Vanilla, though, right? Or otherwise his comment might have been quite random.
Oh good, she had. "She...she wasn't going to." Lewis replied with his eyes slightly widened as he stared at the Head Girl's head again. Why would she eat the Pygmy Puff? She would never do that. Oh, so this guy was the King of all Pygmy Puffs? He didn't know something like that existed but okay. There were always new things to learn. What did one have to do as the King of Pygmy Puffs? Was there a Queen too?
When he was about to return his gaze to Selena's face to give her an incredulous look, his eyes fell on Evelyn sitting next to her who looked...bad. Or was that just his imagination? His eyes rested on his fellow Hufflepuff Prefect for a moment longer before he dropped his gaze again, biting his liip. It was probably just his imagination. There was nothing to be scared of in here after all. Right? Or maybe she wasn't feeling well...
Lewis didn't really feel too good either when he couldn't help but notice the way Kurumi was fidgeting with her dress nervously. Her - and his - nervousness seemed to increase even more when Selina entered however, who was looking at them. At like both of them. Which made him feel even more uncomfortable in his seat and it was only because Vanilla had decided to lie on top of his shoes that he didn't make up an excuse to leave the compartment for a moment.
Oh. And now he had another reason. He hadn't really been paying much attention to the conversations going on inside the compartment so he was more than a little surprised when he felt Kurumi suddenly reaching for his hand. No, grabbing it really. A look of shock mixed with surprise and worry flashed across his face and he turned his head to look at the Gryffindor, hoping for some sort of explanation for the sudden touch.
And it was there. On her face. And it was even clearer when she opened her mouth to reply to a question somebody had asked. Summer. Of course. Lewis swallowed hard and glanced down at her hand on his for a moment before looking back up at her face. Without thinking about it he shifted his hand so that he could take hers properly, interlacing their fingers so he could give her a squeeze back. They were back on the topic of their mother and nothing else mattered right now.
Not that that meant that he wasn't blushing a little or anything. Especially when he caught Selina looking at them again. But then Selena just dropped the subject, luckily not asking Kurumi to finish her sentence. He wasn't sure if she would have been able to anyway. There was one - very very very SELFISH - disadvantage about this however. It meant that she didn't need his hand for support any longer. Which was probably for the best anyway, though.
His thoughts were interrupted by two more people (Gideon and Kimalia) entering the compartment. "Hello." Lewis greeted them both quietly, returning the girl's smile a little hesitantly. "T-thank you. You too." Though, hang on, she'd had her badge last term too, right? So there was no need to congratulate her...errr...awkward. Maybe she wouldn't notice. Plus he hadn't congratulated her on the badge yet. So they could just pretend he was like really late or something.
The two were followed suit by yet another Prefect...one who was very loud and eccentric it seemed. Lewis just stared at the Ravenclaw (Louisa) for a moment not really knowing what to say in reply. Should he yell something back? Before he got the chance to do anything though, his attention was caught by a cat who had come in with the girl and was now...at his feet. Licking his shoes. Not really minding or anything, the Hufflepuff just watched the feline for a while while Vanilla actually moved her paw to nudge it. Hullo!
KEEFER! Lewis actually smiled at the entrance of his Quidditch Captain. Finally somebody else he knew. Like actually knew. Like friend-sort-of-knew. "Hey!" In the meantime Vanilla had grown bored of nudging the other cat and sensing Evelyn's discomfort - only unfortunately not knowing the reason - had got up slowly and made her way over the the Hufflepuff, purring loudly. She even nudged the girl's legs with her head. There, feel better now? |
