Paulie swallowed and looked down at his food. "Oh, hey Adam.." He busied himself by picking up his fork and knife and cutting his roast beef.. into quite misshapen pieces. "Uh, I guess the roast beef looks good." Even though Paulie was no longer feeling hungry enough to eat much of it. A cough started to catch in his lungs, and he directed his face toward his shoulder, as not to get any germs on Adam or anyone else. He cleared his throat.
Uhmmmmm. HOW did he tell Adam that he had KISSED the other Gryffindor's very recent ex-girlfriend for whom Adam PROBABLY still harbored feelings. "So, what's new..?"

Adam took a piece of roast beef off of the large platter in front of them and placed on his plate, before cutting off a piece and shoving it into his mouth. He stopped mid chew as his friend began to cough into the opposite shoulder, the piece of meat making his cheek puff out slightly. Using his hand Adam gave Paulie a little clap on the back. "Have you picked up a cold? I hear there's a nasty one going around the moment," Adam said, once he had finished chewing and swallowing.
What's new? "Not really much of anything to be honest. Just dealing with home stuff. What about you? Anything of interest happen recently?"
Louisa finished her lunch, which was half a doughnut and an extra big glass of pumpking juice, and turned on her bum on the bench to get her legs from under the table and head up to her dorm. She still had the divination homework to work on, stones telling her how the month was going to be like for her. Hmph, she knew already!
As soon as she walked a few steps, though, her feet automatically stopped and her eyes froze on the most dangerous and uncalled for scene in all history of uncalled scenes. Adam and PAULIE were sitting together. At the Gryffindor table. TOGETHER. And apparently they were talking, with Paulie looking slightly solemn or whatever. The wheels in Louisa's head went nuts and her feet followed suit. It was only a few more seconds later that the Ravenclaw found herself standing right where they were sitting... just standing there.
Were they arguing? Fighting? Coming up with a plan to simply shove her out of their small group? Which wouldn't be a "
group" without her with all modesty. Neither one of them looked agitated enough to be
sharing anything foul. Good thing? No. But she, Louisa Carter, was going to make a good thing out of this opportunity.
Trying to make up for the silent thoughtful skeptic moment she just had while standing in front of them, the girl attempted a small smile and waved nervously, meeting Paulie's eyes and trying to see if he was
up to something, and then gingerly sat down on the seat... a bit away from both of the lions.
...subtle much?
