Perhaps in a twisted way Adam should have taken it as a compliment because Joao certainly wouldn't have gone through the trouble if he didn't see Adam as a potential threat.

Animosity sounding too heavy? Nope, it was spot on in Adam's opinion, but he kept this tidbit of information to himself. He had to admit he was a bit shocked that Joao no longer wanted animosity between them. Surely he was trying to play at some angle by trying to befriend Adam in a more civil fashion, but Adam was having a hard time seeing it. Unless, maybe the two of them had gotten off on the wrong foot, and perhaps they needed to try again? "That's true," Adam said with a small nod of the head. "We both have too much on our plates as it is. I think we may have just gotten off on the wrong foot," Adam offered. Not to imply that Adam wanted to be best friends because he doubted there would ever be a time that he would completely trust Joao, but maybe it was worth a shot. After all keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, right?

Joćo smiled, agreeing him, when the dork nodded at last. He was actually relieved that Adam admitted they had got off on the wrong foot. Not that it was usually possible for Joćo to misjudge a person, but maybe he had misjudged the amount of idiocy of this boy. Maybe he wasn't one of the dorkest idiots on Earth but an ordinary dork among the Gryffindorks. In any way, his favourism for him would benefit him in the long race, especially with Louisa, and Joćo would just have to see him as an 'ordinary dork' for it to work. In fact, he liked the boy already.

"So... peace now and friendship in the future?" See? Even in his sentences so far there was no 'negative' meaning. He really meant this friendship and positive mood between them.
