"Standing Still"

Blaise looks across the common room once more, half listening to whatever Draco is complaining about this time, to land his eyes on Nott. Blaise is slightly amused at the sight of him, just sitting on a couch, his shoulders crunched as he looks down at the book on his lap. And, more than anything, Blaise wonders how can he sit so still for…what, half an hour now?

As if noticing someone's gaze on him, Nott raises his eyes, but not his head, and looks at Blaise, somehow not needing to change his expression to seem to ask what is he staring at. Then his eyes return to the page, and Blaise looks at Draco once more.

It's not even five minutes later when Blaise looks at Nott again, who is still in the same position, and Blaise gets up, ignoring Draco's questions as he walks to said couch.

The way Nott simply doesn't move is annoying him, and Blaise plans to change that.
