That would only be me.'' he said eyeing the housemate mate some. Eh, it appeared that he had not come to tease. Yet, what he had said was kinda...odd as well. Evelyn? At the Gryffindor table? ''Well...thank you for letting me know.'' and since when she was using first years to send messages around?
No matter how much that previous topic was important to think about and figure out, Josh's attention was drawn away from it when Professor Lafay pointed her wand at his and Destiny's hands. He had to pay attention to someone who was pointing their wand towards him, right? So that was what he was doing know. And the woman tapped on his hand, to be honest, he was expecting some kind of pain to penetrate it. He didn't know why Lafay would have the idea of hurting him because he had not done anything but this was Lafay, she was unpredictable. Yet...he felt no pain and the boy immediately stared at the she-snake to see her reaction. Well...she looked like she was utterly horrified but there was no sign suggesting that she was in pain.
On the other hand, as the Potions Mistress began explaining what she had done to their hands, Josh could see that this was...really painful in actual. Painful to his soul. He did NOT want to spend the rest of his life with her. She was going to slow him down when he needed to be fast. She was going to make him lose when he needed to fight. She was going to mess with all the things he was going to need to be doing because they couldn't be done with a single hand. Not to mention she could be in danger, if she was forced to go wherever he went.
Plus now how was he going to go the loo if he ever happened to feel the need to do so? And how was he going to wear his shirt back? He did not want to wander around the grounds, looking for potions stuff half-naked. Yet, upon hearing Lafay's further explanations about the spell she had just cursed them with casted on them, the Gryffindor had completely figured that going to the loo or walking around shirtless was nothing to be worrying about compared to them.
As the boy was unable to utter a word with the shocking effect of Lafay's explanation of the evil spell, he was unable to speak when she started to walk away as well. So, he just stared at her back and then...just stared at her back. Yes, even Destiny had yelled after her but Josh just stared.
And that was until he felt the crazy she-snake's eyes on him. So, looking back at her, he moved his gaze to their locked hands for a moment or so before staring back at her...with the same narrowed eyes. ''Destiny...'' he began yet the girl simply started to poke attack him with his OWN hand.
''My fault!'' he protested stopping the poking attack of her by simply using his strenght to make his arm immovable. At least he knew he was physically way stronger than her so he might be able to stop most of her attempts of crazy stuff. ''None of this would have happened if you had not decided to run to HER like a chicken being chased by a fox!!!!''
Letting out an angry breath, Josh opened his mouth to went on blaming her for everything yet when some thought, an unrelated to the situation but important one, hit him no words made their way out his mouth. And yes, it was related to what the first year lion had previously told him. Evelyn being at the Gryffindor table...
EVERY SINGLE individual in this school could tell there was no way Evelyn Flores would just spend her time at the Gryffindor table so randomly. There must have been A GOOD ENOUGH reason to make her be there and if her boyfriend, who would be him; Josh Carter, was no there why had she been there? If that important reason to make her sit at the lion's table was NOT him, just WHAT was it? Taking his gaze away from Destiny, staring at the ground instead and swallowing a few times, the boy tried to convince himself that he had NO IDEA about what that reason would be. Yet, he HAD and it was making his eyes widen with huge disappointment. For the reason could be no one but...Riley Sinclair...
He could still remember how she had protected Riley against him. He could remember how she had refused to keep him away from herself and did not let him to do job instead. So, he had faith in his girlfriend and tried not to kill the boy though he had to sleep in the same room with him but now...she was doing that? Still spending time with THAT COWARD when he was not around?
Slightly trembling over this possibility of a second betrayal, Josh looked up at the sky instead, to avoid Destiny's attempts of having a peek of his expression full of sadness and agony. Then he simply fell on his knees and covered his face with his free, Destiny-less arm.
Destiny had been too busy watching the retreating back of Professor Lafay to realize that another boy had come up to talk to Josh. That was until Josh himself started to speak, but whatever he said, she paid no attention to. It was hard to listen to him while their hands were stuck together. It was like, the more he spoke, the more it sunk in that she was actually STUCK to him. Nowhere to hide, not even in the comfort of the Slytherin Common Room. Not even the BATHROOM.
They was DOOMED forever.
She continued to poke him with his own hand, and when he denied that it wasn't his fault, she tried to give him one last poke, but it was useless. He was a boy after all, and, although she HATED to admit it, he was stronger than she was. She settled for a glare in his direction instead.
"You shouldn't have put that rat spleen down my back!" Yes, this was what it was all about. He had to go and butt into other people's business, and even though Lafay already punished him for that, Destiny didn't think it was enough. He should have had detention!
Letting out an angry breath of her own, Destiny watched as Josh opened his mouth, ready for the boy to yell at her some more for something she didn't do, but it never came. Her eyebrows raised when he turned his attention to the ground and she couldn't help but feel a bit smug. That right there showed that he knew it was his fault. He was hanging his head in GUILT! Which is what he should be doing.
But all those thoughts vanished as quickly as they came once he fell to his knees and covered his face, and her eyes widened as she stood there and stared at him. Was she
really that bad? Sure, she knew she could be annoying; both Evelyn and Mia had told her that, but she didn't think being stuck to her would be that upsetting. Was he going to cry!? Sweet Merlin, she WAS that bad!
"I'm sorry I'm so annoying! I didn't mean to get us stuck together!"
