I can resist anything but temptation.

Congratulations to the winners of the quidditch match. :) I missed most of the game, what happened? Is everyone alright?


[Filter To Sherlock]

[His writing seems more excited a bit messier than usual.]

I'm not very patient, yeah, you know that, well, I had a really great time. Check under your bed when it's convenient. I was going to wait but there's no fun in that.

Passive aggressiveness. Right. Why did you miss most of the match, anyway? Too boring for you?

[ihaveanappforthat]

I was spending time with someone important to me.

[3houseswatson]

And here I thought everyone in the world was too dull for you to bother with.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Of course not. That would be such a negative view on the world.

But this person, they're special.

[3houseswatson]

Must be, if they pass your rigorous standards for what's interesting.

How many hypothetical first years would they kill in cold blood? Since that seems to be your scale for who's worth talking to.

[ihaveanappforthat]

None.

[3houseswatson]

Yeah? Then what do you like about them?

[ihaveanappforthat]

There is hardly anything to dislike; they're brilliant and amazing, utterly so. At their worst they have the mind of a scientist. At their best? It would be an insult to even utter the word 'genius' as an adjective. They're precise, calculative, logical and in a way, dare I say beautiful.

I'm prattling on like a young school girl, aren't I?

[3houseswatson]

Just a bit. Are you going to start doodling their name in little hearts and writing "Mrs. Jim (whatever their last name is)" in the frilliest cursive all over your journal?

[ihaveanappforthat]

I don't think he would like that.

[3houseswatson]

Surprise, surprise. Yeah, except I wasn't talking about him, whoever the poor bloke is. You're the one who said you were acting like a schoolgirl who fancies someone.

[ihaveanappforthat]

I wasn't pointing out his gender for that purpose. I was making it clear that you are being bigoted against someone who is taking offense. I haven't insulted you, yet you're antagonizing me. Is it because you think I'm gay?

That's rather small minded of you.

[Yes he did just turn this into a homophobia conversation. Whoops.]

[3houseswatson]

It's not being bigoted when you run with something that you yourself said - something completely unrelated to whatever the gender is of the person you fancy. You yourself said you were prattling like a school girl. Even if you liked a girl, I still would've called you "Mrs. Jim (whatever)".

I don't dislike you because you may or may not be gay. My sister and her girlfriend would have my head for that. No, I don't like you because you do exactly what you're doing now. You twist words and you bring up hypothetical things that have no bearing on anything just so you can feel superior and giggle about it.

[ihaveanappforthat]

So you have nothing against it then?

[3houseswatson]

God, you really like hearing people repeat themselves, don't you?

I. Don't. Have. Any. Problems. With. Gay. People.

Simple enough for you, or will you need to hear it again?

[ihaveanappforthat]

No. Thank you.

[3houseswatson]

Good.

You know, I honestly have no idea what I expected trying to talk with you again after that morality fiasco. There's no reason for us to cross paths, so obviously it's for the best if we just ignore each other from here on out.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Morality fiasco? That upset you? That wasn't my intent I hope you can forgive me.

[3houseswatson]

Upset? No. Irritated that you kept tossing out increasingly ridiculous what-ifs in an attempt to invalidate my sense of right and wrong? A bit.

And sure, you've really given me a ton of reasons to believe that the guilt of that is just eating you up inside.

[ihaveanappforthat]

I couldn't feel guilt if I was unaware I upset you...

[3houseswatson]

And I thought my position was rather clear. That's not even getting into how distasteful it is to use a Death Eater attack as a hypothetical morality puzzle.

But whatever. Let's just drop it.

[ihaveanappforthat]

Alright sounds like a good idea. :) I'll try not to prattle on about Sherlock or mention death eaters...

How have you been?

[3houseswatson]

[There are a few small inkblots on the page. And it looks like John found a way to make even his handwriting look clipped.]

What do you mean, "prattle on about Sherlock"?

[filter]

[ihaveanappforthat]

Oh, well, he's who I fancy. Though I thought everyone knew that...

[Don't think he didn't notice all of that.]

So you're who he was talking about the other day. The one who likes manipulating and toying with emotions for the fun of it.
