His frowned deepened as she continued sobbing. He couldn't argue his way out of this one, not when he was firmly on her side. He wasn't aware that there had been so much drama within the Gryffindor girls lately—now Sisse, and apparently Alice, too?
"It sounds like our friends are way more insecure than they should be," he said, and it made perfect sense. During their fight he'd been insecure, and Sisse was obviously insecure in their friendship if she felt entitled to know Sloane's feelings and personal matters. The matter with Alice confused him to the core. What did she mean, she didn't fit in? She was practically a sister to him! As much as he loved her, it sounded like yet another instance of Sloane's friends being insecure in their friendships. Maybe this was what everyone went through at this age. Somehow, he doubted it.
Cameron reached around her curled up form and pulled her against his body, his hand coming to a rest on her waist. It was the most he could do here; they might have been hidden from most angles, but it was still Hogwarts. He wished they could have this conversation in his family's backyard in Godric's Hollow, where there was plenty of room and privacy.
"But it doesn't make sense with Sisse, really," he continued, hoping to find a point of logic that might resonate with her just long enough to stop the tears. He'd definitely have a word for Sisse later. "Because if I walked in on her snogging, say, Ned, I'd probably pretend to gag. Or actually gag," he commented, his nose involuntarily scrunching at the thought. "Who wants to hear about their two friends snogging? You know?" The more he thought about it, the less sense it actually made.
