Even if Louis didn't forgive her, she owed him the truth... Didn't she? After all, he was her first friend here at Hogwarts, he had treated her with such kindness and at a time when she had felt so alone... No, she had to tell him the truth, or fess up or whatever, because Louis already KNEW the truth, he just wanted to hear it from Justine.
"Fine.. I... Lied to you Louis. I vas born in Giverny like I told you... But, I've lived in Quebec, Canada for most of my life... Not Paris," Justine said, her bright eyes still staring down at the kitten in Louis' hands.
"But," Justine added, looking up into Louis' blue eyes. "I'm not sorry for it, it vas my choice," she spoke resolutely, a stubborn gleam to her eyes.
Louis listened attentively as Justine started speaking. He was still a little wary, but the girl sounded honest enough… at least she wasn’t faking a French accent on top of her English anymore. That was a start. He continued petting the kitten in his hand absentmindedly as she explained she was Canadian, and had never lived in Paris.
Ah-ha. So THAT’S where the French was really from. Lou had never met any French-speaking Canadians before, so it had been a little challenging for him to recognize it right away.
Justine seemed genuinely apologetic, though, and the sight of her bright green eyes staring so solemnly at Luna twisted his stomach into a guilty knot. Why had he pushed her? This obviously wasn’t very pleasant for her, he should’ve just let it be. “I’m sorry, too…”
AND THEN.
The accent was
back and apparently Justine wasn’t really actually sorry?! Wait—what?!
“W—What?” Louis blinked, completely caught off-guard by the 180 the girl just did. Wait, so was she sorry or not? And what was up with the spontaneous losing and finding of her accent?! Was the accent even real anymore?! WHAT WAS GOING ON?
