The moment Carter had said that...that question about dogs again, Josh had the sudden urge to go and beat something!! How on earth his friend managed to be so...naive. Yes, he did not want to be using any bad words for his best friend so just...naive. Giving him a glare, the lion suddenly turned away walking angrily to a nearby tree to punch it.

And when he did, it did really hurt however the boy did not show any react about it. To be honest, it was like he was so heated that he did not even feel it.

Breathing in and out deeply and repeatedly, Josh tried to calm himself down repeating in mind how he was told to control his anger. He needed to just calm down and listen to him. Calm down. Being angry was going to do no good to anyone here. So, he took those deep breaths trying to calm down and listened to Carter as he spoke.

At least now he was speaking more sense and that part about him losing his mind around her. It was no good news. Not at all. Because Josh felt like that around only one person. After letting out the last breath, Josh looked up, back at Carter. No glaring, it was just a...look. Brain loss around a girl could only mean one thing. That was according to Josh's own experiences of course. He did not know if it could be different with Carter, since he barely had any brain to lose. But wait...he did not want to be unfair to him. Surely he had a brain and there was surely a reason that he tended to lose that little bit of brain around Destiny.

So...should he end it?

''Look, Carter...'' Josh finally spoke and surprisingly with a calmer tone. ''...i cannot tell you who you should be with. But you need to know and realise what this is about. What relationships are about. No relationship is about dogs and robots. What does that tell you?''

Looking back at the tree he had punched for a moment, the Gryffindor sighed and walked back to his housemate. ''Destiny is my friend too. But you cannot trust her with this. It is like she is...teasing you. Those Slytherins. You cannot trust them, Carter. None of us can. I am not saying that they are bad. I still...love one of them after all. We just cannot trust them with this because they are not like us. You can never tell if they really love you and even if they do; love is never their priority in life. They are not like us. How they would please themselves in life always comes first for them. Not anyone else just themselves.''

Those were hard to say but he believed that he lived and experienced them so he was feeling like he had to warn his friend. ''I am repeating it, i am not saying that they are bad. People are different and this is...how they are. Maybe you really like her, but just bear this in mind; You will never be her priority in life. Do not make the mistake of seeing her your...only source of happiness. Always have something else somewhere to make yourself feel better without her. Do not make her your whole life. I don't want my friend to be...''

*SIGH*

''...like me.''
