IO to Pansy ONLY

[mc_mike]

Meant to ask you this last week, but it sort of slipped my mind after the week went to shite. My mum asked about it, and I didn't know. You do, so I'm asking.

What're you doing after Hogwarts?

Don't look too bloody thrilled about leaving in that there photograph of yours.

Does that mean you're returning to Bayhall then?

Is this better, Michael?

Leaving means I'll have to spend more time with my lovely relatives be they Squib, Magical, or Muggle in-laws.

What are you doing after school?

I don't know that I want to. Why are you asking?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Don't need my opinion to know that it is.

At least your relatives all like you, yeah?

Me, I'm taking off for a few months, do some travelling, get lost a few times, try my hand at that meeting family thing. Nothing's set in stone just yet though.

My mum's curious whether she'll still have a job come June or if she should start looking into other employment opportunities.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Anything for you.

Why would you want to travel and be lost? What family?

Why wouldn't she have a job?

Adventure. Make and live my own interesting stories. Because I can. Won't be alone though; Tony and Terry are in on it as well.

Padma's, if all goes according to plan.

Don't know. You both get on so bleeding well.

Excuse me?

You'll be meeting her family? Hm, well her family loves me. They're bound to dislike you, but good luck anyway.

Why would I dismiss your mother? Firstly that would put me in charge of keeping Bayhall up which sounds perfectly dreadful to me. Secondly, she knows what she's doing so why would I get someone new? Does she want to leave? If she leaves, I'm selling it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

What?

No telling me twice there. I've already met her parents and I reckon dislike's is a mite too mild a word to describe how they feel about me.

You're serious? You'd sell it?

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Anthony is going to get lost with you, is he? This is certainly news to me.

Start over, please. You said you were going to meet Padma's family. You already know her parents and lovely sister; who is left?

Why wouldn't I keep it? To remember my most joyous childhood memories? Or perhaps relive the past? Or perhaps even plant a lovely garden in memory of my father? Believe it or not, none of that applies, so no, I have no great tie to it other than its monetary worth.

Don't forget to include Terry there, as well. The three of us'll be as lost as possible for wizards to get, which can't be too bloody lost since you can Apparate back at any ruddy time. You reckon Tony can get by on his charm?

She's more family than that, yeah? Her grandparents. Extended family. People who live in India who haven't forbidden her from seeing me. Probably wouldn't draw their wand on me either, I'd wager.

Why're you still holding onto it then? Makes no sense to hold onto it then if you've no plans to ever use the place.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

You're going to get by on your charm alone? Am I to understand that you three are going off on your own to get lost somehow without any funds? Is that it?

Are you sure? If you don't mind my asking, what is your ethnic background again? Not Indian, I'd think.

I could change my mind. Besides, I'm still in school and I've currently no plans on where I'll be come June.


How long are you planning on being lost?

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Not that hard to believe, is it? None of us have access to our vaults, and even if we did, where's the sense of adventure if you can buy your way your way across the Continent? No bloody fun there, is there.

They're of the older generation. I'm betting on their eyesight failing them.

Suit yourself then. I'll let my mum know that she doesn't have to start with the packing yet.

A month, maybe longer. Can't rightly say. You're lost.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Being poor is not adventurous.

I suppose. Your skin is of a darker shade. However your features won't work. We could try some charms. I'm sure we could get it reversed once they've accepted you. Probably.

Alex will be living there over summer, won't he. And yourself when you're not lost.


You know how ridiculous this entire thing sounds? You're planning on getting lost? That doesn't work, Mike. It doesn't work at all. One does not plan to be lost.


You're a horrible influence on Anthony.

[http://users.livejournal.com/mike_corner_/]

Ever try it?

Cheers for that assessment, Pansy. Reckon I'd like to be myself, if it's all the same. But if I'm ever in want of playing dress up, you're the top of my list.

He will, yeah, unless we can convince Professor Weasley the younger to take him. S'pose I will too, for a spell. With any luck, the place'll collapse on itself and you won't have to worry about selling it.

I'd wager it'd work. If we did it the Muggle way, no maps, we'd be lost in no time.

And you've forgotten how to smile.

[ms-pansy.livejournal.com]

Hell on toast, no!

But if you're yourself, they won't like you based on the fact that you are not Indian. You're not asian, Michael. And Padma is. You should do something to make it work like learn the language or at least the customs.

I'd rather sell it before it collapses, thank you. You know it's historical and even the muggles visit the location because they say it's haunted.

I cannot believe you're dragging Anthony along on your little adventure. What am I supposed to do while you're all lost??

I have not. I smile when there's a reason to.
