He'd been - what had he said? - just getting some fresh air and stretching his legs.

Which didn't sound too time consuming really so maybe he would have some time to talk to him too.

Lewis wasn't completely sure he liked the grin on Paulie's face but it very slowly made him smile widen until it almost matched the Gryffindor's. He did look happy so no need to believe that he wasn't genuinely happy right now. Happy or amused. Or maybe both? It was always so hard to tell for hi- HE THOUGHT WHAT?! "T-thank you!" He blushed some more, DEFINITELY taking this as a compliment from the older boy. Now he had to return the compliment right? Only how? He would have to-

Before he got to say anything about that, Paulie went on and what he said made Lewis' face fall slightly, his smile fade and his happy expression being replaced by a look of guilt. "I-I feel bad for him too." He muttered, bowing his head slightly in shame as he bit his lip. The Gryffindor's next words made him look back up at him again however, a small frown on his face as he tried to make sense of them. Was that what Jonathan was supposed to do? Be happy for them basically? That sounded like a very unlikely scenario. "I don't think anybody is that...selfless." He hated to disagree with the Head Boy but this just sounded like it would only happen in a perfect world.

And they just didn't live in a perfect world.

Yes, he did, too! Paulie released a small laugh at their own conversation. It was so.. simple! Well, now they could get fresh air and stretch their legs and talk, and do all this together.

The grin on Lewis' face that appeared at the mention of Paulie's approval of Lewrumi was soon to vanish. And a look of guilt managed to take its place. Lewis did look truly sorry for Jonathan, but it was a tough situation for the badger, wasn't it? And for Kurumi, for that matter. Paulie shook his head when Lewis said something about people not being that 'selfless.' "I don't think you're pickin' up what I'm puttin' down," he began. AKA, Lewis wasn't getting what he meant. Perhaps he should give an example. "See, if you were first dating Kurumi, right? And then she met Jonathan and fell for him real hard.. would ya want her to stay with you 'cause you love her, even though you're her second choice? Or would ya want her to be with Jonathan 'cause ya want someone who sees you as first choice, top shelf, and all that?" He tilted his head and looked at the Hufflepuff prefect. Was he following? Because it was a little hard to tell with him; he sometimes wore a dazed sort of look. Paulie eventually shrugged before adding, "Maybe I just see it that way 'cause I don't wanna be anyone's second choice."
