He was feeling a little nervous like he used to be around Fallon, Lyra and Beaumont. What was that now? He was pretty sure the nervousness around Beaumont was caused by her hostile attitude, but he wasn't sure about Marie. He hoped it had nothing to do with his thoughts of her beauty though.

He slowly got up in a hope that walking with her outside where a lot of people were would do his stomach which was flinched now some good. He then noticed something else. He hadn't thought of any interesting topic to talk. Perfect. For the first time in his life, chocolate failed him. It had prevented him from thinking, and now all he could do was to smile like in Muggle movies when people were at a loss for words. Wince. If he was to stay silent all the time, this would not go well. He had to turn back to his friendly self.
