The number of wild-eyed fifth years I've seen today is beginning to border on amusing. I'm sure I don't remember this much panic during OWLs last year.

That said, I have some free time to help anyone in dire need of Potions or Astronomy practice before next Monday's exams. Since I'm considering going into teaching now is as good a time as any to begin.


[Private to Alfred Jones]
And my constant comments as to your hard-headedness prove true. That was quite a knock you took.

dude it was pretty righteous though that we won with all that said and done! :)

But i don't think I wanna do that again. It hurt.

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

I suppose I might as well come and watch you play against Ravenclaw. I don't think I'll have anything else to do with my afternoon.

No permanent damage, is there?

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

nope! my brains did feel like what i imagine scrambled eggs would feel like tho. I'm gonna take it easy for a while and lay off the practice and extra study.

Sometimes its good to take a bit of a break am i right??

I'll be up and rarin for the match against those ravenclaws when it comes up though! itd be awesome to have you come watch! You're the best! :D

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

Scrambled eggs? That sounds like an upgrade for you.

Yes, yes, I'll come to watch. Don't make a bloody song and dance about it or I might well change my mind.

You're so mean to me. come on can't you be nice for once? jeez Artie you wont die if you aren't being all difficult you know. :P

still, glad to hear you'll come! I'll keep my excitement to a dull roar so i dont scare you off!

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

If I wasn't being difficult people would start to think I'm ill, and I can't be doing with that kind of attention.

Much appreciated, I'm sure.

[allamericanreject]

Lord forbid you start acting more personable or somethin the world might be ending. so long as i can make out with you and see the nice side in private though your secrets safe with me. :)

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

I knew I could rely on you. If people knew I was capable of being nice they might start to expect it. I simply can't be doing with that kind of nonsense.

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

hehe.

you know I'm actually glad i don't have to go against you babe dude. cause that'd suck, it's a risk of hurtin you since I'm a beater and stuff.

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

From the looks of things, I dare say the bludgers prefer your face over mine.

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

well you gotta admit i'm a strappin young buck right? all the ballers comin my way.

or maybe just the balls.

no homo.

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

You're an idiot.

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

Im your idiot, babe. :3

[That sits there for like two minutes...then he realizes he wrote babe and didn't catch it.]

OMG I meant DUDE or something else.

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

Did you. Did you really.

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

no ok i didn't really this is still filtered so who even cares?

your my babe. because givin someone you care about a nice affectionate name like that is good. and I do like you a lot. So it should be ok.

Ok? Yeah ok. I think.

[Rambling forever. Enjoy that.]

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

you're

For example, if you're going to use ridiculous endearments at least have the good grace to use proper grammar.

[That's his grouchy way of saying he's okay with it.]

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

fine then I'll use perfect grammar.

i love you. you complete me. you're my favorite person and you're my babe.

better? :)

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

Good lord.

I said grammar, not purple prose.

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

Wtf is purple prose? I've legit never heard of purple prose before. that sounds like what that lalonde chick writes in.

haha. Get it? cuz purple ink.

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

It's

Never mind. If you're going to continue this nonsense, at least do it in person.

[Filter]

[allamericanreject]

You want me to whisper sweet nothings to you personally? ;)

hey I'm totally up for that where do you wanna hook up??

[Filter]

[rule_britannia]

Not if you're going to put it like that, idiot.




Meet me outside.

[allamericanreject]

Yeah ok. see you in a minute!

[And outside he goes! He probably should have asked where instead of arbitrarily choosing the closest outside but hey, you're with a smart guy there, Arts. Real genius.]

[rule_britannia]

[Well it does take Arthur a little while to find him.

Definitely with a smart guy. So smart. He lands a punch against Alfred's arm but before the words 'you might have told me where you were going' could come out of his mouth he realised that left too much of an opportunity.

He really shouldn't expect so much of Alfred when he's being that vague.]

[allamericanreject]

[Too late though, the damage has been done and Alfred recoils with a pouty expression on his face.]

Hey! What was that for?? I didn't even do anything! I thought we were gonna love on each other, not beat each other up...

[Rubs his arm. POUT SOME MORE.]

[rule_britannia]

You might have told me where you were waiting.

[There, he said it, but his tone isn't quite as irritated as he wants it to be, and after a moment he moves up onto his toes to give the other teen a quick kiss.]

[allamericanreject]

...I guess I shoulda. I didn't think about it. I just got excited to see you and--mmm~

[Yep okay he's shutting up because kisses. Ohhh no. You're not getting away that quickly you little shit. Alfred catches Arthur's chin, leaning in while he pulls the other boy close for a longer, warmer kiss. He was going to continue the nonsense like he said, thanks.]

[rule_britannia]

[He tries to make it seem as if he still has some measure of control with the way he grips the front of Alfred's robes tightly in one fist, but really, he couldn't be any less in charge of this entire situation.

The Gryffindor boy drives him absolutely insane, but that was half of the reason behind the attraction in the first place.]

You're an idiot. [Arthur says it against Alfred's lips, but it's with a smile and a faint blush.]

[allamericanreject]

You sure do like saying that a lot.

[He smirks, stealing another quick, affectionate kiss before he just settles with hugging his cute boyfriend loosely against him.]

Still...you're the one that messaged an idiot to check if he was okay.

[Which he finds entirely endearing and he loves your concern for him, bro.]

And I appreciate it.

[stubbornskeptic]

I suppose we're just anxious to get it over with!
I'm feeling pretty good so far, though. :B

[rule_britannia]

Glad to hear it. Of course, I never had a single concern about your competence.

[stubbornskeptic]

Oh, don't flatter me, Art!
I might have to turn around and call you a brain as well!

[rule_britannia]

Dear me, I'm sure you wouldn't even think to do such a thing.

[Teasing? Good lord.]

[stubbornskeptic]

I might just say you're one of the smartest people I know!
What would you do about that?

[rule_britannia]

I [There's a lengthy pause here.] suppose I might have to thank you for the compliment, as unnecessary as it is to point it out.

[stubbornskeptic]

Very humble of you.
We ought to have a parade in honor of your humbleness.

[rule_britannia]

I'll leave all the arrangements to you, shall I?

[stubbornskeptic]

I'll construct a cake in the shape of your ego.
Or maybe just a deerstalker.
You'd probably appreciate the latter more, hoo hoo. :B

[rule_britannia]

Oh, yes, very much so.

[stubbornskeptic]

I'll add it to the list of projects, then.
Right under "-Replant pumpkins" and right above "-Learn to sew"
