Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling+4
by truethingsproved
"You should have come to the meeting."
"Potter 2.0 kicked me out, remember?" Grantaire points out. It would sound nonchalant to anyone else but Marius knows him, knows the undercurrent of hurt in his voice well enough to know that Enjolras kicking him out stings more than he's ever willing to admit.
With a frown, Marius shakes his head. "You know he didn't mean the things he said--"
"Marius." Marius pauses, and Grantaire sighs. "Marius, he told me that I was a waste of potential and that if I wasn't going to actually help--because the only thing I'm good for, apparently, is knowing how to do things, but such is the life of a Ravenclaw, I suppose, the only thing of any value is my intellect and even that is suspect to our golden god--I should stop wasting everybody's time, but especially his."
"Cosette ripped him a new one after you left," Marius says softly. "And to be fair you were antagonizing him."
"I can take a hint, Marius," Grantaire insists stubbornly, and Marius sighs and takes his friend's fork again.
