If there was one thing Justin was good at, it was distraction. Procrastination also ranked high of his list of marketable skills. He'd left his own homework in a heap in the dormitories and hadn't really touched it, feeling miserable as he was about the state of the school and the decimation of his favourite classes. He shuffled into the common room looking haggard. Upon spotting Ernie, he forced a small smile and gave him a wave.
"Hey, Ern." he said glumly. His eyes flitted over the pile of scrolls, sinking his own hopes of finding some distraction.
