008 Roaches check in, but they don't check out.

I'm well excited for qudditch, it's hard not to be when your captain is Tony Stark, who is amazing by the way! We've got such a great team, it's going to be brilliant!

I'm thinking of getting a new broom, any suggestions?


[Filtered Privately to Sherlock]

I want to apologize for what happened.

Fair enough, but you could have just easier said you like talking to me, you know.

I don't know, he's sort of a sod. Okay, no, he's really an utter sod. But.. I don't know.


That's good, we'll totally have to work on that some more when we both get time, yeah?

[eighttimeshandy]

Maybe, but I like my way of saying it better.

It's understandable. Conflict can be, heh heh, conflicting. And there is nothing wrong with giving in. It just means that he has a more dominant and stalwart will.


Naturally. He seems to respond better to you as a teacher, anyway.

[speterman]

Now you're just being difficult.

You're trying to get me to disagree and prove you wrong by continuing with my midnight musings. I'm not stupid.


I wonder why... You'd think he'd be more comfortable with you teaching him.

[eighttimeshandy]

I never claimed to be easy, Peter.

Alas, you have discovered my dastardly designs. What ever shall I do? You have bested me, Oh Ponderer of the Night. I lay myself ever at your feet.



Please, who listens to their parents?

[speterman]

I guess that's true. But there's nothing wrong with going the easy way sometimes.

Hush up! Either way it worked, because losing to Sherlock is really something I wouldn't favour.


...I do.

[eighttimeshandy]

I will take that into consideration.

Good boy. That's the spirit.




Oh. Well. My parents insisted that magic wasn't real and that I was a fool for believing in it. So. I stopped listening a long time ago.

[speterman]

It might help.

I'm still curious as to why he chooses me to harass on, plenty of other people write about dumb things.



Oh, yeah, mine, didn't do that. I mean, for part of my life I grew up as a muggle but...

[eighttimeshandy]

I imagine it's worth an experiment or two.

Possibly because you're younger and in the same house. It makes you a readily available target.



If they had their way, I would have continued living as a muggle. They would much rather pretend that this whole magic nonsense didn't exist, thank you very much, and they would really appreciate it if I stopped being a wizard.

But this is the first place I've ever even remotely felt like I belonged.
