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.
Louis watched as Justine made herself comfortable on the green grass, her slender hands still wrapped around the fluffy white kitten that had made itself comfortable on her chest. He smiled warmly at the sight, and chuckled softly at the French girl’s words. “Good enough to eat, huh?” He playfully tickled the kitten’s belly, a gesture to which Luna responded by clawing at his finger and biting it eagerly.
How’d he meet Paloma?
“We were pen pals for a while…” he explained. “We didn’t actually meet until the summer. Then, next thing I know, she’s at King’s Cross announcing she’s coming to Hogwarts too.” He chuckled softly at the memory. Paloma had been sneaky and convinced him that she wouldn’t be able to join him at the castle, only to surprise him on the platform. It was probably the best surprise he’d ever received.
And then Justine was reprimanding him for forgetting which school she had gone to.
Oh. Naïve and innocent, Louis immediately fell for the trick, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Well, that was embarrassing. “I—I’m sorry…” His eyebrows furrowed above his blue eyes as his expression turned thoughtful. Despite that weird aging disease last term, the boy’s memory remained sharp, but for some reason he really just couldn’t remember Justine ever mentioning the school she had attended. After a few moments of flipping through memories in his mind and failing to find anything, Louis gave in. “I’m sorry, I really can’t remember. I assumed it was Beauxbatons, though?” Though if that had been the case, she would’ve met Paloma already, no? Hmm.
