083.

Maybe it's a bit late, but between the flying—or, rather, lack thereof—dogs, and robot things, I didn't think cluttering up the network would be the best idea. But I can't finish out the month with being rude, can I? If Mum were here, I wouldn't hear the end of it at all.

That being said: a rather belated thank you to everyone who celebrated our birthdays with Percy and me! It was really lovely and the food was excellent—yeah, even the lot of you who said they were rubbish cooks. Liars, all of you.

And I suppose being so lucky and having loads of friends means that I'm really not going to be an old witch with only cats for company. Right? I mean, I've only got... three, as of recently.

The owl and the Pygmy Puff don't count.



[ooc; tags may be slow-ish as i organise my life. audition week has been insane. thanks for your patience, darlings. ♥ ]

You are not old enough to be an old witch, and three cats is not so many.


[ooc: Because I forgot in the log, Chekov would have given Ginny an actual physical book of Russian folk tales. "Russians invented magic" would have been written on the title page.]

omg that's the best

[hexuality]

Three cats is two more than I ever expected. But I couldn't say no to them.

^^

[candothat]

Did you inherit them when friends left?

[hexuality]

A friend. And yes. I suppose it's only right; he did give me my cat.

[candothat]

Sorry if I brought up memories you would rather not visit.

[hexuality]

Pavel, people come and go all the time, here. Even people who've been here for as long as I can remember. Amory deserved to go home, I think—he never has before.

[candothat]

I know that, yes, but-- [he hadn't wanted Amory to leave] --surely it is still upsetting, sometimes?

[hexuality]

Of course it is. It always is.

[candothat]

Ginny, what do you do?

[hexuality]

Be happy for them, try not to forget, keep busy. I don't know.

[candothat]

Ah.

[Well then. This has been unintentionally depressing.]

Ginny, you still have not told me about the rules of Quidditch. Would you mind doing so, soon? We could make an outing of it and you can have company other than your three cats.

Happy birthday.

[It... almost sounds like a question.]

[hexuality]

[She laughs and will totally accept that, okay.]

Thank you! Lewis, right?

[hexuality]

[Yeah, that happens sometimes.]

I'd like that, Pavel, sure. I could show you a few tricks, too. The fancier things I haven't had the chance to do in a proper match yet.

Pygmy Puff.

[halves]

Yeah. [He sounds a little different than before, maybe. Tired.] Hi.

[candothat]

If you could and would, I would alike that, also.

video;

[hexuality]

Yeah.

[brb picking up this adorable little guy to share with the class.]

This is Arnold! Isn't he sweet?

[Cue adorable purring.]

[hexuality]

Hi.

[Pause.]

Doing alright today, then?

[hexuality]

I can never resist showing off, really. You're just encouraging my horrific ego, you realise.

[candothat]

I would never encourage such a thing, and your ego falls well within all normal parameters.

[hexuality]

You say that now.

[candothat]

I will say it again. Laugh, if you like.

[hexuality]

What, at you? Of course not.

[candothat]

Oh, no, of course not. You, Ginny, laugh at me? What was I thinking?
