Lewis groaned inwardly as soon as the words had left his mouth. He really should start to think about how the things he was saying might be perceived. Yes, for him this WAS in fact a crucial argument for why he'd allowed all of that to happen but that didn't mean he should say it out loud. That didn't mean that Jonathan would understand what he was trying to say. Which wasn't that Kurumi was to blame for all of this. No, of course not but...it hadn't been entirely Lewis' fault either. There just had been a variety of contributing factors, so in his eyes it wasn't fair how Jonathan was directing all the blame at him, at just him.
The Slytherin himself was to blame as well. Probably not as much as Kurumi and Lewis but he wasn't entirely blameless either.
At least in Lewis' eyes.
Which was why he opened his mouth to say exactly that, slowly getting sick of Jonathan's attitude. But he never got to say anything. Not yet anyway. Because that was exactly the moment Jonathan chose to get right up in his face, making his whole body tense up in anticipation. In anticipation of the blow. What he was saying made him sound like a classical supervillain. And he was good. He was very convincing. He was making Lewis cringe internally while sort of freezing, holding completely still, just gazing at Jonathan. Yes, he'd been expecting something like this. Still, that didn't mean he was looking forward to it.
Only, the blow never came.
Jonathan didn't follow through with his threat. Which didn't really make Lewis relax since he was still extremely close to him, close enough to do some real damage if he did decide to punch him. The urge to struggle free of his grasp was getting more and more persistent but instead the Hufflepuff kept completely still. "She needed you." He was back to what he'd been thinking about before Jonathan had gone into supervillain-mode. "She needed you and you weren't around." He was trying very hard to keep his voice void of emotions but the tension around them was too much to succeed entirely. "I...I'm not trying to say I didn't do anything wrong...I'm just-" What was he just? Pointing it out?
Without breaking their gaze, Lewis paused for a moment, his heart beating out of control before leaning back a little. Let go of me! |
