Current Mood: indifferent

(no subject)

Hey.

I know we haven't talked much since I've returned, Padma, and knowing you, you've probably a few questions. I haven't forgotten what you said and I appreciate the space you've afforded me. And ... well, hell. I've a letter from my mum that I plan to dispose of tonight. Any road, I've no need for it but I'd like to share it with the both of you before I do, if you're interested. It'd be easier for you to read it than for me to ... yeah.

Tony and Terry've already seen it; I took your advice, Turpin and I wanted to say thanks. And I guess I thought you'd want to know. Don't want you to think I feel I owe it to you to share it, because that's a load of bollocks. It's more that I'd like you to have the chance to see it.

Anyway, if you're inclined, you can both come up together later if you like or take it in turns if it's easier.

And before it's asked, I'm fine. Promise I'll smile at least once if it'll reassure you.

Why would you think you hurt me? I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

Which makes the challenge all the more interesting.

Reckon you'd prefer a professor over the caretaker, but if Filch is more to your liking...he does take unusually good care of his cat, if that's to show for anything. Not sure they'd agree so much. You'd have to ask them, and I'm not one for taking a poll. But cheers, Padma.

Confounding's one word for it. Actually, as I'd already believed my thoughts independent of yours, I was curious as to whether ~~you~~ we could ignore them altogether.

Good. Because I haven't. Principles or not, the offer's there, should the mood strike you, that is.

~~Are you -- You're having me on now, yeah?~~

Maybe "hurt" is too strong of a word. But I reckon you wouldn't like to be "reminded" of it, as you said a few IOs back. (We do seem to dally on forever here, don't we? Not that I mind- it's great to "talk" to you after all.) Then you have made my decision for me.

Indeed it does.

...you really are enjoying this, aren't you? Who are you going to suggest next- a hippogriff? Merlin, I shouldn't give you any ammunition. And... well, if they'd disagree about such an obvious statement, then I'm sorry to say that I'm glad things have ended between you and them. I admire them both, but they should be able to treat you with the fondness and respect you deserve.

Right, I... just felt the need to know. I didn't want to leave such a- matter hanging as a joke when I didn't know where we stood seriously. So, right. Now that I- know how you feel, we can go back to our lives again.

Of course. I'm- quite aware, Mike. Cheers. Reckon I'll IO the girls now, and see what they think. Tony and Terry... they know, right?

Um. This is the truth, Mike. I don't know how I feel. This is why I hate this overly emotional person I'm turning into, truly. But- I agree with you- due to outside circumstances at the very least, we'll- we'll never do anything, so- right. That's all that matters, I suppose.

I wouldn't, that's right. (I could take my IOing ways and find some other witch to carry on with and discuss my alleged swollen head).

Why Padma, you were never one whom I thought would consider beastiality, but if that's where you get your kicks ... They're both great witches, really, but it's a two-way lane there. Reckon we fell short on both sides. But I'll thank you again.

Right. Glad we're settled.

No, I haven't told them yet. Haven't exactly had the time, though they'll be chuffed, no doubt.

~~Right. Reckon...I guess that's all that matters.~~

Right. So I won't. (Well what are you waiting for then? I reckon you and Pansy could have a jolly good time bumping your swollen heads against each other. ;D)

Dammmit, Mike! Twist my words around, why don't you! You and your perverse sense of humour! I'll not argue with you there. Like I said, I admire them both. I just wanted to make sure they treated you well.

Right. Settled then. Thank you. Again.

I just IOed the girls. Morag's already responded; she seems to be taking it well. Is interested, anyhow.

~~Right. I reckon so too. It's... the logical response, anyway. I just wanted to make sure. So long as we're- still friends, I reckon everything's more than fine.~~

Reassuring to see you haven't lost your good sense there. (Reckon we could. Best get working on that IO straight away. Cheers for the suggestion, Padma. I do want to state for the record that Pansy's head is far more swollen than my own. Lift for her hair or something like that and all).

I disagree, Ms Patil. Your words needed no twisting from me. I thought they spoke rather clearly, myself. Well enough for what I gave them.

You're welcome. Again.

McDougal's interested, eh? She think she can shelve her annoyance with Terry and I long enough to take a draught with us?

We're still friends. Nothing to worry your head over. ~~Sexual tension? What's that?~~

I pride myself on good sense, Mike. (I will agree with your assertion about Pansy's swollen head as compared to yours. Her- albeit very pretty- hair does not hide that fact from me. Just Tony.)

I disagree with your disagreement with my statement, Mr Corner. My words were spoken quite clearly; they implied your thought process, not my own. Well... that's good to hear.

I reckon so, Mike; she did say "one drink shouldn't cause huge problems." Her attitude is just... one of her eccentricities, I'd say.

Good. I'm glad. ~~I've no idea, really.~~

As you should since it's seldom used. (She does have nice hair, doesn't she? Reckon she and Tony can go off and have loads of follicle-y blessed children together. Save the world from frayed ends or whatever else it is that you witches fret over.)

I have to, once again, strongly disagree with your complaint, Ms Padma Patil, Ravenclaw Prefect, as you were the one who mentioned the pairing of yourself with a hippogryff. I merely made an observation on your statement. Mind set at ease, then?

Right. And her sarcasm being another.

As am I. Ecstatic. Can you tell by my typing? ~~You reckon it's contagious?~~

Oh, such a low blow, Mike. Shall I say of you that your little jokes and pranks are more often ridiculous than they are funny? (I assure you, I care not about the perfect little heads of Tony and Pansy's hypothetical children oh my. In fact, I more often than not ignore the beauty regimen that my sister and Lavender have set out for me.)

I must protest your disagreement with what you call my "complaint," Mr Mike Corner, Ravenclaw Troublemaker, as I expressly meant that you would suggest pairing me with a hippogryff, not I. Yes, more at ease. So long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Won't argue with you there. We girls can't all be as sugary sweet as I am. :D

Most definitely, Mike, your typing is just dripping with such emotion. I am so very pleased. ~~Sexual tension?~~

If it is a low blow, I'll give credit to you, as I've learned from the best. And isn't true, fair Padma, that the humour that lies in the ridiculous resonates far longer than that which lies in the mediocrity of a joke. (Can't say I see why you'd need a regimen, unless you're thinking of posing for Playwizard, too).

Intent, youngest Patil. Intent. You had worded it in such a way with the intent of garnering the reaction that you did. Therefore your protest and complaint do not hold water. I'm happy.

Over the years, I reckon I've found out your sugary sweet is a very clever disguise used to your advantage to lord your prefectness over others. Most of the time, that is, when you're not bringing me soup.

That's a talent, I'll have you know. Not every wizard can have their typing express an emotion such as ecstaticism. Nor do they have the talent to create new words to add to the English vocabulary. ~~That'd be it. Reckon it is? Any sort of potion we can take to ward against it?~~
