"You were just what?" Justine asked, raising her eyebrow at the boy's cut off words. Andrew really was lovely, but sometimes he could be a bit odd, than again it was that exact oddness that she liked about him.
The Ravenclaw smiled warmly as Andrew pushed aside some of his books, making room for her to sit beside him. He was so sweet, and so genuine and this little thought that would usually bring warmth to her heart, left her feeling unusually cold.
Genuine, she wasn't being genuine. Justine had been lying to Andrew since she had first met him at the Valentine's Day Ball last term, and not just to him but to everyone. What was wrong with her? Justine didn't even know.
She took the spot next to Andrew, putting down her book bag to the side before turning to her friend. "I 'avn't seen you in ages Andrew, vere 'ave you been 'iding?" Justine teased, smiling playfully at the Ravenclaw boy, pushing aside her unpleasant feelings.
Andrew was already feeling embarrassed enough about just having basically yelled Justine's name in the middle of the comfortably quiet common room, and it didn't help that he had just nearly blurted out to her that she'd been on his mind.
"I was just.. thinking." He said in an attempt to save face. The embarrassment was clear as day in his tomato-colored cheeks. He had been about to elaborate, but couldn't think of anything more to say, and so remained silent, smiling sleepily at his friend.
"I've been here and there. Mostly there." He smirked back at her when she sat down and asked where he'd been.
"I'm sure you've seen me, you just didn't know it was me because there would have been a mountain of books in the way." He joked. It had been quite a while since they'd seen each other, and if Andrew was honest with himself, he had been a little worried.
"Although, Justine, I should ask you the same question!" He said slyly, turning the conversation around.
"Where have you been?"
The look on Justine's face had concerned Andrew slightly. It was as if something had been wrong, or as if she had a lot on her mind. He'd planned on asking her about it, but whatever it was that had caused Andrew to think something was wrong was no longer present in her face.
'Probably nothing', Andrew thought to himself.
