mc_mikeAre we seriously expected to learn anything in Arithmancy?
I reckoned Monday might've been a fluke, but after today, there's no sodding way.

Date: 2005-09-09 05:32 am (UTC)I didn't exactly have any other choice now, did I?
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 05:57 am (UTC)Reckon I'm just not used to seeing you- stare after other witches like that.
Oh bullocks, this all made sense in my head...
...I'm sorry.
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 06:14 am (UTC)Look, don't be sorry, yeah? It's ... it's fine, I reckon.
You talk to MacDougal?
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 06:39 am (UTC)...I've not seen her lately, but I've been- distracted all day, yeah. Why? Is everything all right?
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 06:57 am (UTC)Don't go icing things because you think I can't deal with something. I'd rather have the truth if it hurts than some tripe that means bollocks.
Why're you distracted?
Hell if I know. She asked me a question, I answered, she got right hacked off at me and I haven't heard back since. Thought she might mention something to you is all.
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 07:15 am (UTC)You won't let me take care of you; that's what I want. And you don't want truth that hurts, you don't want me to confront you on- those crossed out words, for example.
Do you still want more "truth"?
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 07:28 am (UTC)Take care of me how? By hiding your feelings from me? Cor Padma, I'm not five. A little credit would be ace, yeah?
What crossed out words?
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 07:37 am (UTC)You don't want my feelings, Mike. You think I'm not aware of- your desires in our relationship? My feelings are just slowing us down.
The ones you wrote to Hannah just now. ...I know to whom you were referring, Mike.
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 07:52 am (UTC)That's a load of rubbish. I haven't made one bloody complaint, have I? If this is your way of saying you don't want to be with me, just come out with it. Otherwise, I'm not in any bleeding hurry. It'd be brill, yeah, but I'd rather have you and wait than not have you at all. I've two able hands, loads of memories, your scent on my pillow - I'll ruddy make do in the meantime.
Right. Those. Not much to say there, is there?
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 08:13 am (UTC)I don't want things to end, Mike. Bloody hell, the very idea has me shaking. I want to be with you so badly and yet I'm afraid of it too. My... virginity, our friendship... buggering- I know I said I'd take the risk, all right? So why aren't you complaining?
...maybe that's the problem.
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 08:32 am (UTC)Where'd I say I wanted things to end? Buggering hell, Padma. You're not the only one who's afraid, all right?
The problem is that those bastards are still roaming free.
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 08:52 am (UTC)...you're afraid? But- I don't understand, Mike. You've done all this before- with Cho. I don't mean to make you afraid, Mike... I'm so sorry.
Avoiding his mention won't change that, Mike.
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 09:13 am (UTC)Experience doesn't mean anything if the situations are different, which they are. I didn't have six years of friendship on the line, I didn't feel for her as much as I feel for you nor as quickly, not to mention that I want you so bloody much it terrifies me. Reckon the only difference between us is that I'm ready for the risk. And I can wait, if that's what you want because I love you, because it won't kill me. Drive me barmy, maybe. You'll have to visit me in St Mungos when you're finally ready then. With any luck, I'll remember it afterward.
I can't.
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 09:32 am (UTC)...I don't know what to say, Mike. I always figured I was like her, like Cho. I always figured you were the first- and greatest- love of my life and I... I am so... touched, Mike. And so humbled.
You don't reckon they'd let a person with Swollen Pin Syndrome in to see someone with Swollen Head syndrome, yeah?
Why?
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 09:52 am (UTC)You figured wrong. You're nothing alike. You're not going to say anything, are you?
Maybe we should ask a Healer? Though I reckon they'd be worried about puncture wounds and deflation. That has the potential to get messy.
IBecauseI just can't.Fuck.Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 10:05 am (UTC)Reckon I'll have to get used to that notion. Say anything to Cho? I hardly think she'd listen to anything I say anyway. I promise I won't.
...maybe it would be best to find alternate means of- satisfaction.
Mike... speaking as someone who loves you... I truly am afraid of what will happen if you avoid this much longer.
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 10:17 am (UTC)No, not Cho, but that's not a half-bad idea there. I - sodding hell, I meant everyone else we know.
Alternate means? Any ideas, Ms Patil? You are the one with better concentration, after all.
Nothing'll happen. I'll be fine. I promise.
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 10:27 am (UTC)Oh. Yes, I- reckon I understand that sentiment.
I won't tell a soul, Mike. This is between you and me. I promise.
Perhaps we can get away for the next Hogsmeade weekend? You promised me no interruptions, yes?
You will be fine, Michael Corner. Because- like it or not- I will take care of you.
Private to Padma
Date: 2005-09-09 10:37 am (UTC)Right. Thanks, Padma.
Sounds a brilliant plan. That I did. Can't go back on my promise now, can I?
And that's that, yeah?
Re: Private to Mike
Date: 2005-09-09 10:45 am (UTC)No need to thank me, Mike. Your private affairs are always safe with me.
I reckon not, Mr Corner, no. We should plan something.
...for now.
