And it goes.

Since it would seem I'm the only one around here with an enquiring mind, - Brown and Parvati, I'm disappointed verily, I am - s'pose that leaves me to ask the question that's begging to be asked.

MacDougal, what flavour arm candy are you? Your brother says licorice. I'm not ruddy sure I want to know how he knows.

Since I can, oi, Filly? Wanted to warn you, sir, that the dozen roses that your award-winning wife'll be binning once they're delivered? They're from Tony. Mine'll be the ones delivered later this evening. The one's she'll be gushing over and that'll convince her to chuck you for me.


Anyone else reckon they should give up looking for the cause of this past April's Fools? There's other areas which the Ministry should be utilising their resources, I think.

Thanks, Corny.

Anytime, Whistler. Next time we should make plans and then I could say the same in person.

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

Why would we make plans?

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

So I could tell you in person how ruddy sorry I am Flitwick's a relation in you. How often're you at Bayhall? I could make plans to tell you then.

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

I'm not in the mood to mess about with your clever or charming comments, alright? There's more important things to do.

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

Sometimes a break's nice, that's all I'm ruddy saying. Sounds like you bloody need one too.

Are you all right? I mean - is something really wrong besides what's currently going on, or are you just trying to get rid of Michael and his annoying remarks?

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

Of course there's something really wrong. Pansy's acting like they're both going to prison, no matter what. There's something wrong with that! Don't you think?

That means I'm not in the mood to mess about with him. He can be a real asshole sometimes.

I knew they'd both been arrested, but I thought that it was simply a huge misunderstanding. Why in the world would Pansy think they were going to go to prison?! You don't suppose... no, of course not.

I can certainly understand that. I was actually rather upset by that blurb in the Prophet today, but I knew that if I let him see that, he'd just make it even worse.

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

They're under house arrest and it'll go to trial. What do you think?

Another blurb than what he's talking about? I mean, he did see the bit about arm candy, didn't he.

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

Are you saying they ARE guilty, then?! Oh Merlin.

No, that's the blurb I meant. Oliver and I ended up having a talk about last night - well, about that and the photographers.

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

They wouldn't keep them for nothing, would they? Don't be too quick to judge though. I think the evidence they have is dodgy anyway, and I doubt they're going to prison. Now if my cousin could shut her yob about it, we'd be in better shape.

How'd that go?

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

That sounds awfully ominous, Kev. How are you feeling about it all? I agree, though - it does seem as though Pansy is saying too much in public.

He doesn't want to label our relationship. He thinks that if it's not broken, there's nothing to fix. I just don't understand why he's so afraid of words.

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

I'm not abandoning her, that's how I feel about it. Whatever happened, he deserved it. I wouldn't have done what they did, but Millicent is stronger than me anyway. Stronger than most.

She's an attention seeker. Look at me, poor me, look what I'm going through. Give me a break, already. As if she's the only one going through this, right?


Maybe he doesn't want to stop playing the field. Think of that?

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

You're a very giving, loyal person - but I already knew that. I hope that Millicent realises how lucky she is.
...do you know what happened?

She certainly does seem to be making this all about her - but I'm not about to explain that to her.


No, I don't think that's it. We've discussed that and neither of us wants to see anyone else.

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

I guess. There's no luck about it.

Yes, I do.

You think I will? Millicent lives in her house and I'm not going to start them fighting now. Things between them already seem tense. And well, I think she'd pick my cousin over me, you know, loyal friends.


You're certain? But he won't call you his girlfriend? That doesn't add up.

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

No? Then what is it?

All right.

No, I didn't really think you would say anything to her directly - but perhaps you should say something to Millicent, or even to Anthony. Then one of them could speak with her, or ask her solicitor to do it.


I'm certain. He hasn't the time to see anyone else, anyway. I know from talking to his sisters that he's never dated anyone as long as he's dated me. His sisters were very surprised to hear I existed, actually. I think that might say a lot about it.

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

It's something she's not ready to hear.

Don't judge her. You have something in common, but hers is ten times worse.

I'm not asking Tony to do anything. He's sick with worry, like me, and to be honest, no matter what I'd like to be true, it doesn't look good. She's right about that.


Concerned with sport over you, I'd guess.

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

What do you... oh. Oh Kev.

I wasn't... oh Morgana! Do you mean what I think you mean?!

Yes, but if she's making things worse for Millicent and herself, don't you think that someone should speak to her?


I'm new to his life, Kevin. How can I judge him on putting his career first when I'd do the same?

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

I can't blame her, though. And I don't want to scare her off. Do you think I'll be the first to say it to her, ever?

I do.

Can't get much worse, unless they found a body.


Then I guess you have to ask yourself if you can take being second without a title. Can you?

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

I couldn't say. I think it'll depend a lot on what happens, don't you think? A lot has changed between the two of you - there was a time when you couldn't even imagine that she'd agree to be your girlfriend. Things could change again.

That's just... abominable. I wish I could help, but I know she doesn't want my help. I reckon she hasn't spoken to anyone about it? If you think she might want to, I can tell you the name of the Healer I saw at St Mungo's. Or you could even speak with her, to learn things that could help you to help Millicent. You don't have to do anything - but it's something to consider.

It does sound rather damning.


For now.

Re: IO to Morag ONLY

[k-ev-in.livejournal.com]

They could, but I'm not going to force it. I don't need her to know to do it. Does that make sense? She's got enough without me putting that on her too.

I can't see her talking to anyone about it. Telling me, I thought she was going to lose it and you know she doesn't lose it. She never does. I'm trying to keep her entertained and she's learnt to drive a bit more; not very good though.
Terrified, actually.


What happens when 'for now' isn't good enough? Do you love him?

IO to Kevin ONLY

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

It does. I hope that things will get better and then maybe they'll change in that regard, but I agree that there's no reason to force anything.

That's not good. You do realise that, don't you? If it was worse than what happened to me... she needs help. It's another thing you can't force, but... oh Merlin. I wish I had something helpful to suggest!
You're teaching her to drive a car?


I don't know. I expect I won't until I get there. And I don't know if I do. Sometimes I think I might, but I'm not certain. I want to be certain this time.
