I'd be... alone, I guess. And maybe not so good at relating to people or whatever." Not that that was one of his skills exactly, but he'd definitely spent more of his time focusing on socialising than he had on studying. What kind of friend would she be? "Not one of mine." He answered thoughtfully and then cracked a smile, eyes twinkling at her. "What a tragedy that'd be."
"So we are." James agreed easily. He wasn't at all worried by her little confession. There were enough truly bad people in the world to worry about without adding people who just happened to be related to those who made bad decisions into the mix. "My mum is a Bones." He confided. "So, I guess if I were the type to give a stuff about old loyalties, I'd be stuck somewhere in between anyway." He did happen to think that blood status was important, just not in a political sense. A cultural sense though, sure. Part of his identity and something he was proud of, but that was the extent of the pureblood thing to Jimmy Wilkes.
"She's hot." James responded with a grin. "Not that I, you know, know her all that well or whatever. I'd like to mess about in the potions lab sometime but I figure if I start doing that, or showing an interest in any of that stuff, I'll end up having to do more work." So. That was a no. He listened as she kept talking. "Yeah, I'm an only child too" He perked up and grinned, leaning towards her just the slightest bit. "I reckon homework would be better if you could choose what you wanted to study." He'd SO study her. No contest.
"Oh right. Well in that case then I have to say I'm glad you didn't work so hard." Marie said when he mentioned not being here with her.
"Besides, we wouldn't want you to be alone now would we?" She knew
she didn't want him to be alone. Not a friend of his?
"Yes, that would be a tragedy. A tragedy we won't have to worry about though because like I said, your secret is safe with me." She would take it to her grave if she had to.
She smiled as he talked about his family and being stuck somewhere in between.
"Hmm, I have something you could be stuck in between," she said with a mischievous grin. She could wrap her arms around him, again, then he would be stuck in between her and her arms. Only this time there wouldn't be any rotten food between them.
She wrinkled her nose at his next comment. Laflame hot? Maybe a hot head.
"You're lucky you don't know her that well. She's NOT a nice person. And yeah, I'm sure she would make you work harder." Which was something they couldn't have because then he may not get to spend any time with her. Now
that would be a tragedy. She felt her heart speed up a little when Jimmy leaned leaned towards her. Sure he only leaned in a tiny bit but still, he was that much closer to her now.
"Yeah, choosing what to study would be good, it would be very good." She said as she started to study is face, starting with his lips.
