What was that?

Josh's eyes widened with...mixed emotions as the girl spoke again. He couldn't really describe how exactly he was feeling yet he knew that was not a good feeling. Not at all. It pulled him into a rather bad mood actually. He completely lost his apetite. He was not feeling hungry anymore. And those were bad signs.

With those words now the Gryffindor was certain that she was teasing him, playing with him. Why would she give out such an odd, useless answer that had nothing to do what he had asked for if her intention had not been that? It was now obvious that she was implying that she was not going to answer his questions. She wanted to avoid his questions. ''You know what?'' so Josh began still standing there next to her, his gaze not leaving her for even a split moment. ''It might be that i have to eat at THIS table all the time, not at the Ravenclaw or Slytherin one but it doesn't mean that i am an idiot. You know that, don't you?'' He wanted to make sure since it was a little heartbreaking to know that your girlfriend thought you were an idiot.

Then he watched her expression which looked like as if she was, somehow, confused or surprised. Why would she seem to be like that anyway? Had not he made it clear before that he did not want her to be seeing THAT COWARD? He knew it had not sounded so good to her, as if he was trying to forbid her seeing people or decide with whom she could be friends. But that was not the case. He knew Riley was no friend to her. He knew he had his eyes on her. It was as clear as fresh water. And worst of all, since the coward knew that he would never let him take his girlfriend, he was just trying to spend as much time as he could before he graduated, just to enjoy himself. He was trying to use her! Why couldn't Evelyn see that?

With those thoughts, the flame in the boy which was a mixture of anger, annoyance and disappointment had already been started. And what the she-snake said next didn't help him with it. Not at all. ''You know what i am trying to say!'' he exclaimed letting out a deep and strong breath out his nostrils. Was not this kinda enough that she was teasing him by replying his questions with questions pretending she couldn't figure what he meant? ''I see.'' so he murmured trying to calm down and sound calm and collected. ''Knowing his stupid intentions, Rose, i have to share the same dormitory with him. I have to eat at the same table with him. I have to share a common room with him. And most importantly i have to try not to kill him within this progress. And THIS is what you are doing to me, is this?'' his expression chaging into an utterly sad one he sat down yet a little bit away from the Slytherin girl.

''I love you with all my heart. All i am trying to do is to protect you. Even from the little spiders. And you said before you loved me. Is it really too hard to pay attention to at least a single thing i said? You have never come this table for me. You haven't!!! But you have been wandering around this table when i am not around. Yes, someone told me you were doing that. Why is that...Evelyn? What did i do to deserve that?''
