Kurumi shivered for a moment remembering the one time she had been called to the front to test a potion and had had one of the bones in her arm removed.
And now it was awkward. Really awkward. Kurumi simply sat their playing with the hem of her skirt.
Adam gave a little nod understanding...poor Kurumi. If Adam stuttered he was sure he would stutter in front of the woman too.
"Some people just can't be nice...it's not in their DNA or something," Adam said with a little shake of the head. In fact, Adam wondered why he wasn't more like that himself. After all most people who'd had his home situation would probably be angry at the world and everything in it. Well...Adam was just glad that he was able to move past all of it. No point in dreading over what you can't change.
"Well...if she turns you into a newt I'll turn her into a worm and you can step on her," Adam said with a little smirk. He was kidding of course, but he thought he'd make the offer anyway. She was a fellow Gryffindor so of course he had her back!
Adam felt bad for making the situation so awkward, but thankfully
JB saved the moment. Adam thought that JB was sound asleep on his bed, but apparently not, because the dog came bounding and had tackled himself into Adam's lap before he even had time to react. The chair wobbled on the impact of JB ramming into him, and the next thing he knew the chair was down, Adam's legs up in the air.
Oh. Dear.
