Challenge #134
Every time Lavender came to see me after I was poisoned I 'pretended' to be asleep.
Not so much the same as giving an excuse; really more using the poisoning as an excuse not to have to talk to her.
I know, I know. I'm a prat, and a git and an all around coward for using a near death experience as a reason not to talk to my girlfriend.
But seriously; what would you have done?
See what I mean? You'd have pretended to be asleep too.
We're agreed (Harry and I) that Lavender is the kind of girl who'd shrug when you broke it off and say 'sorry you're wrong'. So really I had to get her to do it so it stuck. Harry says that just because it's understandable doesn't mean it wasn't a lame excuse for not talking to her or an even lamer way of getting her to break up with me.
Course he didn't have any suggestions for how else to do it; so lame excuse or not it had to be done. At least she didn't throw a flock of canaries at me.
