I don't know, I can't imagine Justin as a slave at all. There's just something that happens when you grow up in service. And depending on who he'd served he'd be more like Dennis was, or Terry, before the ISS, I mean, or--I don't know. Some of the ones in the camps. Worse than that, he could have been like John Turner and gone hot-headed and then he'd probably have been killed. But if he'd been here at Hogwarts or something, I don't think he'd have dared look at you and I don't think you'd have ever noticed him, either.
Mr Snape doesn't pull his jinxes, it's true. And Draco doesn't care for some people in the Order who always try to coat things in treacle and yes, I'm sure that's why he started looking at me as more than a mudblood. I'm not saying he only sees a mudblood. Though while we're on the topic, I don't think he sees muggleborns, plural, yet, I think he sees me and Justin and even Terry as examples of mudbloods who've risen above our circumstances.
And yes, it's closed. But I could have closed it for him without embarrassing him first, is all.
Oh, by the way, I went and looked back around the 400 days because that struck me as odd. I think I know what it was. It was just about that long ago that I touched his hand, remember? The day he was trying that spell on the colocation boxes? And he jerked away and I thought it was because he was disgusted. Just like the other night, when I touched him and he went all over stiff and I thought he liked me well enough as long as I didn't take any liberties like that. Only that time I was touching him because he was admitting he had been a prat.
So maybe you're right and he has a problem with anyone being tender to him? But that's also a self-fulfilling prophecy, isn't it. Because if I did care about him the same way, then sooner or later we'd try snogging and he wouldn't be able to go through with it because of his own problems.
