Besides. It was lunch. Important meal of the day.
He went through the same process that she had, grabbing a sandwich from the vendor and catching sight of her reading the paper. As he slipped into the seat beside her, he unwrapped his sandwich, saying, "...something caught your eye in there? That's got to be good."

"There's been two deaths at Hogwarts," she replied, nodding down at the headline as she placed the paper down on the table. "And look, apparently a professor did it."
While Evey didn't usually show much in the way of shock or emotion, she was obviously a bit shaken. Not terribly so, since she wasn't really attached to the school anymore. She knew that Nate's sister still went there, which was a bit worrisome, but otherwise? She paid little mind to it.
But this was quite alarming.

Two deaths?
Caused by a Professor?! When he'd been going to the school, it wasn't that unsafe, that was for sure!
"God, Dumbledore's losing his touch in choosing character, isn't he?" He spoke through his sandwich before swallowing his bite, only half-chewed. And choking on it. Cough cough hack cough!

It was just how they operated!
"Well, they've been saying that about Dumbledore for a long time," she replied, shaking her head. "He's always been talked about, criticized for his judgement."
She frowned, then leaned back as she nibbled on her own sandwich. She was slightly worried about the future of the school after this.

The sandwich was up and back into his mouth, where he finished chewing it before swallowing it a bit more carefully this time. Shrugging at her words, he paid attention to his drink -- sip, sip. The school wasn't his concern anymore, though it was intriguing that the murders had been perpetrated by a Professor.
Perhaps Dumbledore'd be sacked for that. Jason could see that being the thing to finally boot the old man from the castle.
"Yeah, well, sounds to me like they know what they're talking about," he replied idly, waving his hand to show that he didn't much care for the topic anymore -- and in the process, knocking over his drink. Blast!

"How can you say that? You do realize that his presence is the one thing that keeps the place from being overrun by Death Eaters, yes? You know as well as I do that he's the only wizard You-Know-Who is remotely afraid of!"
A few gazes darted their was as she mentioned You-Know-Who, and she frowned before giving them all glares in return. "I didn't say his name!" she replied, before turning back to Jason.
"If it weren't for him, our kind would've been the first to go." She paused, frowned more deeply, then appeared even angrier. "Actually, me first."
Git!!

Jason quirked an eyebrow as though disbelieving the question that she'd just asked him. He would have thought that it would be quite obvious how he could say that -- all one had to do was look at the paper on the table in front of them! He picked up the cup that he'd dumped as she dabbed at the mess, entirely wishing that they could get onto a more interesting topic than this.
But he had to make his point first.
"You do realize that under his watch and approval, a teacher went into Hogwarts and murdered two people in You-Know-Who's name?! It doesn't matter who'd be the first to go, because obviously it wasn't either you or I."
Waving his hand toward the paper with a flourish, he finished, "It was that little chick and her Auror friend."

This was probably the beginning of another one of those ridiculous fights. The ones that really weren't important, but seemed like it while in the moment.
"You think that someone else would be more able to keep peace there? I'm willing to be he knew that professor was a Death Eater. Probably why she was even allowed in, Dumbledore has his reasons for everything!" She was getting red in the face, now; it was obvious that he'd hit a nerve with her loyalty to Dumbledore.
She'd been ridiculed for being a Muggleborn, and she always knew that he wanted her, as well as all the others, there. So she was quite defensive and eager to ( ... )

Rolling his eyes, Jason picked up the wet napkins and stood to throw them away. He didn't trust his Wingardium Leviosa at this point in time, seeing as he was far too busy being wrapped up in this arguement. Evey wasn't seeing the whole picture, something that always bugged him about her!
"Calling me a man is a compliment." He rolled his eyes again as he sat back down, fully ready to continue this conversation now. He was being glared at, for Merlin's sake! And it bloody well sounded like she was kissing Dumbledore's old butt.
It didn't matter that Jason actually liked the man. No, right now he was far too busy playing Devil's Advocate to look at a little detail like that. "You really think that Dumbledore, the old coot who's definitely going batty in the head, knew that she was a Death Eater? So -- you're saying that he let her kill the chick and the Auror? Maybe to throw everyone off the trail, eh?? YES! That makes sense ( ... )

Oh, and then he went on to really go at Dumbledore. Which only pissed Evey off further.
"I'm not saying he let anything happen!" she cried. "I'm saying he knew about the Death Eater. Probably keeping her close-- hell, I don't know! I just mean that he has his reasons. He always has, and if he hasn't lost it by now I'm sure he never will."
She thwapped him in the back of the head as she sat back down, very unhappy with her boyfriend.

She called him an idiot?
What a bint!
"If he knew about the Death Eater, then he's a fool and stupid on top of that," Jason stated simply, as though that were just a fact. "And I would have to dispute that whole bit abo--"
Before he could finish his statement, he found himself being hit! Not on! Reaching over, he thwapped her back (not the gentlest thwap in the world either) and continued, "About him not having lost it." With a glare, he sat back in his seat, defiantly taking a bite of his sandwich.
She was so annoying sometimes. She didn't even make sense and there she was, arguing with him.

He absolutely, one hundred percent, smacked her back!
Evey was stunned for a second, kind of disbelieving that he'd actually done that. It was a bit unnerving, but as soon as she shook it out of her system she flung her foot out to kick him in the shin. "Don't hit me!" she cried, obviously placing that whole double-standard thing right at his doorstep.
"Oh please," she replied, shaking her head as she got over the shock of him smacking her. It did kinda hurt, after all. "He's known about that sort of thing before! Or maybe not that exact thing.. but well, you know the stories! All that crap that Potter dealt with in his school days?"
She glared, still obviously pissed about him smacking her. "And you're a ... a jerk."
Reply
She'd bloody well kicked him! Not on!
"Don't kick me!" Jason sounded quite indignant and utterly annoyed as he kicked her in the shin in return. Pssh, he wouldn't let her just abuse him like that! No!
A jerk. How original.
"And he was wrong back then, too," he replied, raising his voice just a bit, not caring about the heads that were turning toward them as they argued. "All that crap that Potter dealt with -- exactly. Stuff that the kid wouldn't have to have dealt with if Dumbledore hadn't been so bloody stupid."
And now for the jerk bit. "And you're being a bitch. So we're all even."
((Just FYI? Writing this reply killed me.))

"He would have had to deal with it!" she replied, tossing her hands up. "He'd have had to deal with all that, plus so much more if he'd not been there to keep evil at bay!" Okay, so now she sounded slightly corny, but she didn't care. She was ticked off, and she was ready to fight to the death for this.
She was never even really close with Dumbledore. She actually despised those goody two-shoes who were always sending him lemon drops, now that she thought about it. But this wasn't really about him anymore -- it was about she and Jason, and who was right. Reason enough.
Her mouth dropped open as he called her a bitch, and she quickly grabbed his sandwich to toss it on the ground.
((*DIES* Oh man, they are absolutely RIDICULOUS.))
