As Nikolas walked down the fourth floor corridor that led to the classroom he'd suggest Lucy meet him in, he wondered exactly how this conversation was going to go. He had stopped by the Ravenclaw table during breakfast that morning and mentioned that he thought they ought to talk about...well, what had been discussed last week. It would be better to do this face to face, make sure things were clear.
But then, he wasn't sure what he was intending to make clear. That it would have been nice to know she was Muggleborn (nevermind the fact that he'd never really made it much of an issue in his friendships)? Did she make a habit of lying to her friends and family? The fact that he had never mentioned something like the fact that he was all set to marry someone upon graduation didn't occur to him as being hypocritical. He'd never made it seem as though he were interested in Lucy in that way. Had he? They'd become friends these past few months...it was hardly unusual.
So why was this bothering him so much?
When he arrived at his destination, Nikolas was dismayed to find that he still had no idea what he planned to say, or talk about, and that he still felt a bit angry, and a bit confused, and a bit sorry about both.
Lucy was already there, and he greeted her with a small wave and a, "Hello."
