Who: Alfie and Julien
What: Talking, Hiding, Ignoring Work
Where: On the grounds
When: Sunday, After lunch
Warnings: TBA

Alfie was actually a little surprised that Julien had let himself be talked in to spending an afternoon not doing anything, but Julien had agreed to meet him, so after lunch he came out into the main hall and looked around for him. When he saw him, he grinned, coming up to bump his arm, and then saying hello quickly before he started out toward the main doors and onto the grounds.

He walked fast, he didn't really want to give Julien time to change his mind.

"I think you'll like this as much as the daydreams, you know?" He said as he walked, heading toward the small hut that used to be Hagrid's there on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. "When you're all full from lunch, and have hours just in the warm sun to lay around with nothing else to do?" Granted, he tended to do that same thing a lot more than was probably good for him, and his grades always suffered, but spending time just relaxing with friends was more important, at least to Alfie. Especially after the weird week he'd had before.

	"Oh..." Alfie frowned, disappointed that is idea wasn't a good one, and he squeezed Julien's shoulder once in what he hoped was comforting again. Julien felt solid under his grip, and he had a flash of memory of that day in the abandoned classroom and swallowed too, dropping his hand away finally. "Well, you can play with Puddle whenever you want?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julien thought he might be getting sick, maybe allergic to the blanket or something, because he was suddenly finding his breathing a little bit off, his hands sweaty and his skin sensitive and- just like that it went away, falling from him as easily as Alfie's hand did. "Thanks." he said, smiling genuinely. "That's really nice of you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alfie didn't want to think about that day int he classroom - whatever had come over him was weird, and too confusing to want to consider. But Julien seemed to be flushing a little, and Alfie licked his lips because they suddenly seemed way too dry. "Don't worry about it. He ... um. He likes you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julien suddenly found himself unable to look away from Alfie's mouth as his friend licked his lips, and a few seconds later, just as suddenly as he found his eyes stuck there, he looked away. "Oh, good, because... I like him back." he said, and out of context that could have been taken... rather differently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alfie blinked, and he had that same feeling he sometimes had in classes - or that he usually had in classes, really - that someone was talking about something he didn't understand. He still smiled, though, even if he didn't answer. "So. You didn't go to Hogmeade?" He asked, changing the subject. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Julien picked at the grass and propped his head up on his hand. "Oh, no... I was studying, y'know." he said, a little uneager to answer because he knew how Alfie felt about him studying. "Did you go?" he wanted to know, making a pile with the grass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course you were," Alfie grinned a little as he said it, and rubbed at the back of his neck, then pillowed his head on his arms again. "Yeah, I went." Alfie snorted, shifted a little uncomfortably. "I had a date." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Julien smiled a little back at Alfie's amusement, pleased that this hadn't turned into another 'he worked too much' argument.

Which he didn't. Just for the record.

Alfie's answer to his question made him feel a weird little twist of what he was slow to read was almost pain inside, and he wondered why that was, why he suddenly couldn't look up at Alfie as he destroyed the little grass pile by picing it carefully apart. "Oh." he said and then remembered that this sounded rude. "How, how was it." Duh, Julien. "Oh, and who did you go with?"
