Adi continued to watch Benny and Angel, each passing second made him want to laugh out loud. Benny may have wriggled out of his and AJ's teasing but he landed in something waaay more uncomfortable. And to answer AJ's question... "He likes her. He just doesn't know it yet.'' Good luck to Angel when the Dragon did figure stuff out. Adi had no idea how Benny would get those feelings out to her. He was a shy one after all.

Yes, he knew she was third. "Not bad, Valentine. Next term, try to keep up with me and the number one spot.'' That right there would motivate her. See if it didn't. Good thing AJ was a competitive one. "Don't you be so sure about that.'' Hehe. Annnd she was holding his shoulder! They weren't holding hands but he'd take it. "What are you talking about? Hufflepuff is the best, you're the one who should be sorry.'' Cue a grin.

"You,'' Adi answered automatically. Too late he registered the damage. Eeep! Moving on! "Um, yeah!'' Oh heck. Had he said that a little too hastily and enthusiastically? He inhaled and continued. "I mean Benny and Angel are too busy for you right now. So I'll just have to stay to keep you from feeling too lonely.'' Yeah, just go on like he never said anything wrong. Just joke stuff off.
