She fully expected to be disappointed by the end of this conversation that's how used to disappointment she was this term. A small smile did cross her face when he said he would keep her offer in mind. Now hopefully she would be around the next time he got cold.
"Not school work? What else exactly do you 'Claw students like to study?" She knew what she wanted to study but there was no point in telling him now. Why set herself up for more disappointment... like now. Right, too cold out to walk around the grounds. Even though she did offer to help warm him up if he got cold. *Cue disappointment* "Not really. I've spent most of the term in my dorm room when I'm not in classes." Well there and the secret passage. She didn't think he would want to hang out in a semi-dark, deserted passage with her though.
"5th." James supplied. Hence the whole OWL thing. He shrugged one shoulder and gave Marie a smile.
"No really. And don't go thinking I'm the negative type either. I get plenty of good surprises simply because I don't expect anything and don't let myself get knocked down when something disappointing does happen." Jimmy informed her. Yeahhh he wasn't quite glass half full. Not an optimist, but a realist, he liked to think.
"Don't ask me, I ain't much of a 'claw. Hat made a mistake, pretty sure." He told her, even while he did some studying right then and there. Would there be a test later? Heehee. "Hmmm well, I guess we could find somewhere kinda sheltered outside, if you did wanna go out that way." Sheltered and private, for more
studying talking. "We can chat more and maybe get to know each other a little better." He suggested.
