Once Professor Rothschild had left the room, Justine turned to Jason. "You're afraid of me?" she asked, a curious smile on her face.

Jason had been in the middle of throwing a spitball at the back of Justine's head and he was surprised when she turned around. He made a face. "I am not!" he said heatedly. "I just think you're such a loser, and I don't want anything to do with you!" he accused.

Justine looked about ready to explode. "You're a real jerk, you know that? What did I ever do to you? Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"Well, if you must know, it's just the fact that you exist," Jason said rudely. "I mean, let's face it, you got into Slytherin on some sort of mistake. You're an orphan... you don't belong here. No one wants you here."

Tears filled Justine's eyes. "You're a jerk," she sniffled. "I can't believe I ever used to like you!" She got up and started for the door, covering her face as she went.

Jason froze. "What? You... you used to like me?" he repeated. His heart was pounding at the thought and he hated himself for the hopeful feeling that went through him.

Justine heard him talking, but didn't stop. She just wanted to be away from everyone else right now... she felt sick and hurt and didn't like the feeling of everyone's eyes on her.

Lucius stood up. "No one is leaving this room. I'm Head Boy, and I'm in charge!" he shouted pompously. "Now, sit down, Torrance! Now!"

Jason stood up, too, and walked over to her. He hated to admit it to himself, but he hated seeing her so upset and knowing that he was the one who had done it to her. He took her by the arm. "Justine, I'm sorry. I don't know why I said that. Please come back, OK?"

Justine wrenched her arm away. "Go away!" she shouted, grabbing the doorknob. "Just leave me alone! You can't keep me here!"

"Well, I can," Lucius said coldly. "If you leave this room, Torrance, you will get a detention. Is that clear? Now, Bluth, just admit you like the girl and be done with it. We're all sick of witnessing your drooling fits whenever she's around."

"I don't drool!" Jason protested. He looked at Justine. "Come on, sit down. I won't be mean anymore, OK? Just don't leave."

Justine stared at him. "Do... do you really like me?" she asked breathlessly.

Jason gulped. "Um... well... er... did you really used to like me?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, for Salazar's sake, Bluth, just ask her out and get it over with already," Lucius said, yawning. "I'm getting quite sick of being forced to witness your absurd adolescent melodrama."

Jason glared at Malfoy. "Shut up, Malfoy, no one asked you, did they?" He looked back at Justine, blushing. "Um... I guess I... kinda do... like you..." he stammered.

Justine felt her stomach twist oddly. "Then why were you always such a jerk to me? You know, comments like that really hurt! I can't help that I'm an orphan... and for your information, my family could have been purebloods!"

Jason sighed. "You're right. I know you're right. I was a jerk... I don't even know why. I'm sorry... I won't do it again."

Justine smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I... I forgive you. Thanks," she said. "Um, you don't have to ask me out orr anything... The apology is good enough."
