Oh. Justine and Paloma hadn’t seen each other since the feast? Lou raised an eyebrow at this. Perhaps he shouldn’t have told Paloma about the room of requirement; he had a feeling she’d probably taken it as her own personal hiding spot.
“Since the end of last term. She was still in Beauxbatons, though.” Louis watched Luna absentmindedly for another moment before turning his inquisitive gaze upon Justine. He’d been meaning to talk to her about this… “Which school was it that you went to, again?”
Louis was preaching to the choir, it was certainly not easy! Not even a bit and Justine was a bit miffed at herself for not stretching first or something.. Also, it would have helped if she had actually been on time... Pfft, whatever. "Oui, it is very... "Ow you say... Taxing," Justine said, laying down on the cool green grass, still keeping Luna close to her chest. She was so fluffy! And so curious! Justine immediately adored the little thing and as she played with the kitten Justine decided she wouldn't be really pleased until she had one of her own. "She's the sweetest little zing Louis, I vant to eat 'er up," Justine said, speaking in a cutesy voice, half addressing the kitten and half addressing it's owner.
"Oh? 'ow did you meet 'er zen?" Justine asked, frowning slightly at this information. Perhaps they had met in Wizarding Paris? Didn't Louis mention going there before? It would make sense. There it was again... Beauxbatons and along with it the uncomfortable reminder of Justine's lie. Which was getting more and more complicated with every conversation the young girl had.
Oh no. Ohhhhhh Nooo.
Le pantalon de Merlin, that wasn't a good question, she still hadn't gotten her story completely straight.
Justine être calme, she just needed to take her time and she'd be fine, just fine. "Louis, 'ow ride of you to 'ave forgotten, I'm almost offended," Justine teased, trying to buy herself more thinking time. Think! Think! She needed to think! And quickly, Louis was clever, too clever and he would surely notice her stalling if she did it for long.
