What did she expect? That Louis was just going to go all doe eyed and forgiving because she said one thing about not really being all that different? Psh, yeah, right. Justine was just surprised he hadn't gotten together a mob yet to far and feather her. It was so odd to see Louis irritated, it was like seeing Christmas movies in summer, it just didn't match-up.
The old Justine.
She couldn't tell if that sounded funny or kind of awful, probably a bit of both. "Manipulative? Okay, fair enough, I can accept manipulative.. But cruel? I can't agree with that.. " Justine said, flipping back her long hair. She wasn't being cruel, she was being self-preserving, she had to be. "Look, I don't expect you to understand this, or to be happy about it, I just expect you to go along with it," Justine added, giving the boy a determined, but calm look.
Louis watched as Justine flipped back her waist-length long hair, an incredulous look in his blue eyes. He just couldn’t get over it. He probably never would. She was so
casual about it, too! Like going around pretending to be a completely different person was the most normal thing in the world. For all he knew, her real name wasn’t even Justine.
“I think there’s a certain level of cruelty in manipulation,” muttered Louis bitterly, his gaze falling to the sleepy kitten in his hands. He gently stroke the top of her little white head, listening as Justine determinedly ordered him to go along with her stupid plan.
“So you want me to
lie for you?” he asked, looking up at her again with a raised eyebrow. Perhaps he could lie to new people he had never met, but Paloma… If she found out he’d suggested her to share a friendship with a crazy person, she would never trust him again. And
he’d been the one to pressure her into coming to Hogwarts! For what? To be lied to by a wacko Canadian!? Louis bit at his bottom lip as he thought about this. How could he be honest without Justine finding out…?
He completely forgot Justine was expecting a response from him.
