★ SIXTEEN

[ladyliberty]

It's so crazy about what happened to the towers, right? Imagine if it'd happened while we were all inside them! Thank goodness. I hope our beds aren't gonna be all soggy and mildewy from the rain now.

But staying with Hufflepuff could be fun! It's like a sleepover.

... Too bad about Ravenclaws. Sorry Maddie.

Hmmm, he does, but... I don't know...

I don't think I'm ready to pick somebody else, Amelia.

[ladyliberty]

[Oh dear. She's not very good at the whole crush thing.]

Sometimes the best way to get over wanting something you can't have is to channel that into enjoying something else.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'm not sure if that's a good idea...

[ladyliberty]

Have you ever tried it?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Um, no. It hardly seems fair to do to some guy.

[ladyliberty]

Oh, they're guys. They get over it.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I know they're dumb, but they have feelings.

[ladyliberty]

Oh, sure, I never said they didn't have feelings. They just don't care about relationships and stuff like girls do.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Mmmm, I guess that's true.

[ladyliberty]

I don't think you're gonna ruin some poor kid's life if you decide to have a little fling with him.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Yeah, okay, but still. I'm not sure that's me.

[ladyliberty]

Any guy'd be lucky to have you.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That's sweet, Amelia, but it's not what I mean.

I've never really been with someone, and I want my first boyfriend and my first kiss and all that to count.

[ladyliberty]

[Amelia sighs a little.] You're such a romantic.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Can't help it, I guess.

What was your first kiss like?

[ladyliberty]

[She laughs.]

Sticky.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, yeah?

[ladyliberty]

I was eight. I think we'd been eating popsicles.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Awww, that's so cute!

1/2

[ladyliberty]

Oh yeah, he was a cutie pie. Farm boy up by my aunt's place. He taught me how to ride... Which is also how I had my first orgasm.

[ladyliberty]

I think that's part of the reason I liked him so much.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...You can't have an orgasm from riding a horse.

Can you?

[ladyliberty]

Sure can! I mean, the rocking motion, that knob thing on the saddle...

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I guess that does make sense.

Pretty amazing, actually.

[ladyliberty]

Tell me about it.
