Justine had never been a very serious person, she took life lightly and always had. If Justine had the choice between dealing with a problem, or avoiding it and pretending it wasn't happening, she would happily pretend. And right then, having a late dinner with Andrew seemed like the perfect distraction to the mess that was her life.
"Come on, you'll see," Justine said, taking the boy by the hand without another thought and leading him through the Common Room and right out of Ravenclaw tower. Andrew's poor little pile of books was left, sadly, to themselves.
"Prohibited?" Andrew raised an eyebrow.
"Well, how's a guy supposed to manage all this learning without a decent meal?" He joked, placing a hand over his stomach to accentuate his perhaps slightly exaggerated hunger.
"I'm telling you, Justine: You find me a dragon, and I will eat that dragon!" He smirked confidently with a chuckle. Andrew loved to joke with Justine. She was the only person he'd ever known that enjoyed his silly sense of humor, and there was no way he could ever describe in words how much it meant to him when she laughed at his bad jokes, and sought him out for his company alone.
Uncharacteristically for Andrew, when Justine took his hand and pulled him away, he completely forgot about his books. As they left the common room, his mind was far too busy focusing on the girl holding his hand to remember anything else. Intrigue, suspense, contentment were all he felt as they rushed off together.
