Re: Alfie/Julien
Julien wondered if what he'd said had been VERY wrong and he looked down at his knees. He looked awkward enough as it was at the moment, all huddled in unknowingly against himself on the other benchseat. "I don't know, just... force of habit I suppose." he said, joking weakly.
He'd been bullied mercilessly and ruthlessly in all his muggle schools and had even experienced it at Hogwarts too; he'd never felt this kind of anxiety before though so he couldn't explain it to anyone else. "How come you didn't sleep last night?" he asked back. "Are you okay?"
