Well ill be damned.
Its february already!
Isnt february meant to be some wholly love related month with a willy nilly holiday involving chocolates and things partway through somewhere?
Poppycock.
That seems awful silly to me. Why does there have to be a specific month to show the people you care for how you feel? I mean i guess it sort of makes it special or something.

No matter a holiday is a holiday!
What has everyone got planned for their sweethearts?

Indeedy it is! Time just flies in these parts.
Ah what a shame. Apart from it sounding a bit trivial i suppose i do rather enjoy the idea of a day devoted to telling people how much you love them. Does that make me sappy? I think that makes me sappy.
Do tell me if you do i might need a few photographs to immortalize the situation.

Have you anything planned?
[You're not getting out of this that easy, Dirk.]

[toocoolforthis]

That makes you incredibly sappy. Don't worry, I'll remember it for the rest of my life. When I stop using this notebook I'll cut your message of of the page, frame it, and hang it on the wall.
If I redecorate the Slytherin dorms I'll be sure to let you see it.

[Curse you, Jake English. Curse your roguish charm and incredibly good looks.]

I never have anything planned for Valentine's Day. What makes you think this year is any different?

[shitknickers]

How sweet and thoughtful.
Im touched.

Just checking really.
Cant have you off trying to woo anyone without me knowing! I have to approve of whoever will take my best friend off my arm and all. Standard bro protocol. You know the drill.

[toocoolforthis]

As you should be.

Trust me, if I'm ever trying to woo anyone, you'll know.
In the meantime, you don't have to be worried about losing precious bro times.


[sob]

What about you? Get up to anything while I was gone?

[shitknickers]

And i am. Do i get prize?

Nothing terribly interesting.
Opted out of quidditch this year so ive got a fat lot of nothing to do with my spare time.
Which of course isnt to say i dont still play im just not on the team.
You know me. Cant keep me off a broom and out of the air without something to hit.

[toocoolforthis]

You get a gold star.

Too bad.
Least you have someone to fly around with, now.
And to pitch things for you to hit. Which is to say, yes, I know you and I'm fully enabling this.
But that isn't the kind of "get up to" I meant.

[shitknickers]

I will wear it on my lapel.

*scratches head*
Then what sort of get up to were you on about?
I missed that nuance of your mention.

[toocoolforthis]

Consider what you asked me.
I'm continuing in that line of questioning.
Or, to put it bluntly, are you the one with plans for Valentine's Day?

[shitknickers]

Oh!
Eh not in particular. Its a holiday meant for those with sweethearts you see.
Im still quite lacking in one of those.
Which i suppose isnt a problem im still young enough to be an eligible bachelor.

[toocoolforthis]

Well, you never know. You're not a bad guy, for all that you hang out with crazy slytherins.

[shitknickers]

I have it on good authority that the slytherins that i hang out with are only the good sort of crazy.
It makes them far more interesting really.

[toocoolforthis]

You know, there's a curse that says "may you live in interesting times."
You might not want to call that a good thing.

[shitknickers]

Rubbish.

[toocoolforthis]

Well, you can't say that I haven't warned you.
Multiple times.
For years.

[shitknickers]

Id much rather live an exciting life and regret a few decisions than be bored all my years.
You should know that better than anyone.

[toocoolforthis]

I'd say I'm intimately familiar with that preference, yes.
And you know I'll agree with you to a point.

[shitknickers]

Of course. Thats because youre the brains of this outfit!

[toocoolforthis]

Basically, you're admitting to me that you don't use your brain at all.

[shitknickers]

I do so!
Just not as often as you i figure.
Though i dont believe any human being is quite as much of a brain center as you are.
Its like all you do is think.
Not that its a bad thing!

[toocoolforthis]

I manage time between all that thinking for the necessary features of living.

[shitknickers]

Sometimes i find that fact debatable.

[toocoolforthis]

Why's that? I'm still alive, aren't I?

[He's joking. Mostly.]

[shitknickers]

I think youre secretly a robot actually.

[So is he.]

[toocoolforthis]

What do I have to do to prove myself, break down crying in front of you?

[shitknickers]

Bugger dirk its a joke.
I would quite honestly prefer you not break down crying simply due to the fact that something distressing enough to reduce you to tears would be a travesty indeed.
Sometimes youre just outwardly so much stronger than the rest of the world i dont know how to handle you.

[toocoolforthis]

I realized.
And I just take things in stride.
I don't see what's so special about that.

[shitknickers]

Its an impressive skill and one i most certainly lack.
