He did not need to feel bad because she was a doof.
The question about Bay surprised her slightly and she had no idea why he was even asking, but she decided to go along with it and answer. "Well, we met each other on the train the start of this Term, but yeah... I know him well!" She had to, since he was her adopted older brother and the first friend she had made at Hogwarts.
So he hadn't choked her to death. Success! He shrugged,
"I came out of nowhere." Literally. From behind a hedge. Merlin. What a weirdo.
"So, uh, why did you come all the way down here?" The Kitchens weren't exactly close by. Was she hiding from someone?
Know him well. WHAT DID THAT MEAN. Lucas social nicety was hampered by his in eloquence. How to say ARE YOU KISSING THAT BOY without saying that. He smiled nervously.
"Oh cool! And now you're.. good friends?" And he tried not to make the question mark sound too desperate and insecure. Just, uh, friendly questions.
