"Alright," Jake replied to the Gryffindor prefect, and felt oddly outnumbered. Scarily. And stupidly. Since he was with the Gryffindor Head of House and a Gryffindor prefect. Lovely.
"Hhuhh-how're yyyou?" the boy asked in return, though avoided eye contact, as he always did with everyone these days.

She furrowed her brow at his next statement, not exactly sure what that had to do with his desire to leave. Certainly Constantine hadn't rubbed Jake the wrong way. He was such a decent man. Fair and courteous to all the students. Now if Jake had said Bunbury then okay. That would have made sense. But Masterson? "Really?" she said. "How is he?"
"Wuhh-well it d-d-didn't," Jake said, acid in his voice, something he immediately regretted. At once, the boy spared Lawson an apologetic glance and stared down at his shoes. Maybe this was the... wrong time to talk about the evil Gryffindor boy?
There was a teeeeeny awkward silence on Jake's part after that, and he continued on the subject of Masterson, grabbing at it like an only opportunity.
"Hhhhe suhh-seems okay," Jake spoke hesitantly. Had he asked the man that? Err... oops?
"He wwwouldn't ttttuh-tell mmme where LouAnn wuhh-went..." Jake went on, wringing his hands in his lap. Just thinking about it was starting up the panic again.
"I gggot upset. He suhh-said to gggo to the Healer an' tttry to ggget a cuhh-calming dddraught..."
Trailing off, Jake looked straight at Professor Lawson. Was that enough of a hint? He hoped so... he needed that darn potion. And soon.
