"I don't think you're negative at all." she said. "Well the only good surprise I've gotten in the past six months is walking out of the common room and seeing you standing here." Yeah, all the other surprises had pretty much been bad news. Surprise, your boyfriend is snogging your best friend. Surprise, your boyfriend doesn't want to be around you anymore. Surprise, everyone in Charms class now knows what you did thanks to that stupid boggart.
"The hat made a mistake? So what house do you think you should be in?" 'Please don't say Hufflepuff.' "We can stay inside. You don't have to go outside just for me. There are plenty of places in this huge castle we can hide in go to not study talk." Hmm, where could they go? Aha, she knew the perfect place. "We could always go to the Room of Requirement. We could study each other talk and not be bothered by anyone."
"Its alright." Jimmy shrugged, smiling crookedly. "I'm a little distracted
now, so we're even." Marie seemed... well nice wasn't necessarily the right word, but James liked her well enough. Interesting was the best way of putting it, he supposed. Fascinating even.
"Really?" He asked, voice growing softer. "Well, I'm sure I can improve on
this." he gestured around, meaning her coming across him here. She sounded like she meant it, and he liked the idea of making Marie smile instead of just... you know, look mad and cringe away like during the whole food fight thing.
"Gryffindor. Obviously." Obviously. He was brave and RAWR and everything. He grinned at her crookedly. "Room of Requirement? Yeah? I read about it, I haven't been there yet. Sounds kinda awesome. I'd like to see it with you" And see what kind of place it became at her request.
