Current mood: pensive

All packed?

Yeah. Trunks sent to the train station and the service will put them in the flat for us. Backpack all packed.

Dunno how you're going to transfigure these into saddlebags but that's your lookout.


deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 02:10 pm UTC

If my transfiguration is a dismal failure then I suppose we'll just have to buy some. If you want to use the money for that, I mean. Or we could always find a better transfigurer.

I know we're not going there right away, have some trampoosing to do and all, but you sure you're okay with the flat?

seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 02:14 pm UTC

Stupid money. Stupid flat. I don't want any of it. I want my friend back.

But, can't have that. Never mind. Have you.

I am okay with the flat. It will be okay. We will change some things and not others. Remus never liked museums; he wouldn't want a shrine. He's still . . . he's still in our hearts and so he ended up being immortal anyway. But at least now you know why he kept calling you an idiot.

Well, we'll still need backpacks for when I'm me, so transfiguration is the only way, unless we want to rig up something else. But I'm not wearing a fucking saddle, or any of that other shite, so don't look at me like that.

I know you don't. I know you do.

I figure we can get messy with some paint and plaster. I know it's not as tidy as using a charm or two, but the physical act of changing it by hand seems important here, I think.

And yeah, I always knew he had a good point with that idiot business. Just wish I could have known him... well, almost as well as you.

Well, I've done a not-half-bad job here, so I think we'll be okay. I'm not entirely clear on what saddlebags look like, but I think we're safe with a little improvisation.

seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 02:27 pm UTC

You always know. I love you.

I agree, we should do it the Muggle way. Malfoy offered to help with the design, but I can't imagine we can count on him for painting. Harry, though, he might help.

Wow, you know, watching you with Malfoy really turns me on, you know that? So Alpha.

I think it looks good. So strange to walk out of here instead of taking the train but I could do with some quality alone time as opposed to the, well, odd alone time we've had lately. Though, you give good comfort sex.

deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 02:35 pm UTC

I love you back.

A painting and plaster party, then? He liked parties.

I do know, which means I suppose he now knows the truth about why I give him a hard time, doesn't he?

Thanks, and you know I'm all about the comfort but I wish I weren't so good at it sometimes. I feel like it means I've had way too much practise.

potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 02:35 pm UTC

Yes, Thomas, that's precisely the last thing I'd hoped to hear from you. Well done.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 02:38 pm UTC

Look at it this way: you'll never hear anything worse from me now. This is it.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 02:41 pm UTC

Oh. Well, I suppose that's one very dim bright side.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 02:39 pm UTC

Malfoy. If you're going to read what we're yammering about, you won't always like it. You have my word that we will keep any lovey-dovey from your tender ears when we see you, and behave like gentlemen.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 02:42 pm UTC

Don't be ridiculous. I wasn't reading it. I set up a spell to alert me every time my name is mentioned.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 02:47 pm UTC

You're so very clever.

Come to our flat for the painting party. You needn't paint; just consult on colours beforehand.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 02:49 pm UTC

Do I have to smell the paint?

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 03:13 pm UTC

Well, I can cast a spell to keep them under control.

Then you can just sit there and watch a group of men working. Or you can listen to the Quidditch on WWN.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 03:25 pm UTC

I'd rather listen to Quidditch, thank you very much. You can bring me lemonade.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 03:37 pm UTC

I will be painting. But you say you are bringing an elf to help you carry your nothing, so have them bring you lemonade.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 03:39 pm UTC

That, however, would mean that I was bringing something helpful.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 03:45 pm UTC

Meaning the elf?

I thought your goal was simply to avoid toil, not to avoid doing anything helpful. And anyway, by that time you would already have done something helpful, because you would have helped us with the design itself. So you will be able to shout a great deal about what people should be doing. That should keep you chipper.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 03:46 pm UTC

Perhaps, though I do so enjoy doing nothing.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 02:42 pm UTC

I think a party is a fabulous idea. Then we don't really have to say goodbye to anyone we don't want to.

Oh, but apparently he didn't want to know. You are the best.

We both have. I wish I could say that's all behind us know but you know it isn't.

But the trip will be brilliant.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 02:47 pm UTC

It's on, then. Everyone brings a paintbrush.

He was bound to figure it out eventually, don't you think?

I know it isn't behind us but that doesn't matter because I will be there, you will be there, and that's just that.

Will you get hacked if I say things like "Tally ho!" when we gallop over the moors?

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 02:51 pm UTC

Perhaps we can ask Malfoy to simply bring the cocktails.

Yes. He's a bright boy.

That's right.

God, you are so bloody English. I might throw you, but then I'd have to heal you. So, yes, but if you really need to, fine.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 02:55 pm UTC

Agreed. Cocktails might be more his forte.

Seeing that I'm English, I'm sure I can restrain myself. We're good at that. Usually.

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 03:10 pm UTC

As long as you don't restrain me. That's all I ask.

Actually, don't restrain yourself, either. I like you better not.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 03:14 pm UTC

Very well.

Tally ho!

(parent)
seamus_f @ 2004-06-30 03:22 pm UTC

Got it out of your system then? Good.

The only one, love. The only one.

I can't believe we're going. I can't believe we won't return in September.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 03:45 pm UTC

Believe it, kid.

It's a whole new journey.

Well, Remus once said that falling in love was like holding hands and jumping off a cliff.

You think I am the funniest thing ever? And are just now telling me?

I thought it was obvious!

deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 03:56 pm UTC

Well, I sussed out you found me funny looking quite a while back. I didn't realise there was a more general funniness going on.

He got it by being very very good.

I am not your au pair and I don't drink alcohol. I shall bring the nothing.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 03:00 pm UTC

Will you bring a lot of nothing? We tend to go through it quickly at parties.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 03:03 pm UTC

As much as I can reasonably make my elf carry.

(parent)
deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 03:05 pm UTC

Reason really ought to go the window when it comes to bringing the nothing.

(parent)
just_harry @ 2004-06-30 06:31 pm UTC

Yeah. I'll help.

(parent)
potterstinks @ 2004-06-30 02:09 pm UTC

Yes, actually, I am. How nice of you to ask.


deanthomas @ 2004-06-30 02:13 pm UTC

Don't mention it. Just showcasing my concern for folded jumpers and paired-up socks.
