You’re right, and actually it’s not that bad. I mean, it could be worse and at least I do not have to be at the same place as Demetrius anymore. He can be very annoying.

An animal? Geez, your life is way more exciting then mine. We should go there and look for whatever is bothering the horses. This weekend I’ll go to my parents house, but we can do this during the week after my working hours.

Besides Robards, is everything else okay at work? Or you cannot share any information with civilians?

Hey, calm down, miss Pritchard! You don’t need to be investigating everything and also, this is way out f your knowledge. And if I remember well, your grade at Care of Magical Creatures were not that great. I appreciate your offer but is far too dangerous, especially since we don’t know yet what type of creature we are facing. How are they, by the way, your parents?

@aleclochrin​

Hi, Lochrin. Sorry I’m late, but things are crazy at the Auror Office. Robards is trying to outsource his paperwork to me, can you believe it? He said it’s good for building character. Which made me wondering if that is the reason he is the way he is.

By the way, we should have arranged to meet at your house. I’m kind of tired of the food at this place, and I’d kill for some comfort food made by Joy. But, hey, how are you? How was your day?

Honestly, right now, paper work is better than being in the field. But I guess this is not what you want to hear, right? Give time, Is. You are still a rookie, you have to do the dirty work for some time.

You know you don’t need to ask, you have the address you can just go, just use the flu, you have all the network in the Ministry, no? My day was...okay, there’s some animal around and the horses are more agitated than normal, so it’s been a bit tricky, otherwise .... the same as always. Not a glamorous city life, you know.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

Sure, this is the best part..

Of course I will be careful. I do not want to die… I am too pretty to this. Hm… sorry, mate, but I have to go. I promised I’d help Jessica with some… flowers… We can talk tomorrow… if you’re free, of course.

Are you ok, Is? You seem a bit...concerned? Hey, it’s fine, everything is good. We are good, right?

Oh, okay then. See you later? Is? Oh, she´s gone already ...

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

You could see only the best if I had your help. But okay. I will not argue around this. 

By tall I meant he had a panoramic view of the entire scene. But, yeah, he is a decent guy. And the auror thing’s been great. Next month my training starts so I’ll meet all of my coworkers. You can be cool, there is nothing to worry about…

I honestly don’t think we need a list, Is.  And part of the fun is us discovering things together, don’t you think?

That is not completely true, because every day I hear something about what is going on. My cousin is also an auror, you willsee him a lot around the head quarters. Just promise me one thing? Be careful! Don’t make rush decisions.... I can’t lose you, Is.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

I am not trying to find issues, Lochrin. I am trying to anticipate them. We have to work together. Otherwise you will hate me… as all my exes do. And you just love my flaws because you are used to be my best friend, us together was something that only existed in the field of ideas. Reality is uglier than you think.

It was just a muggle punk show. We were pretty safe. Caradoc is very tall and suspects of everything, he would notice any danger hours before anyone else. But, okay. At least we have the first thing. So, Lochrin, how the perfect relationships looks to you?

You know me for years, Isolde.Years.You know me better than I know myself, I don’t get what do you want with those questions, really. I know that reality is different, but I saw your best and worst and I still love you, that should count for something, no? The same way you saw me on my high’s and low’s. I think we being friends is only an advantage and not a problem.

Very tall, right. But he is a decent guy, so I guess is better than with Black or Potter. There is no such thing as perfect relationship, but communication is key, trust is a must and love, of course. The rest is details. By the way. how is the auror, thing? It is dangerous out there, I worry for you.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

I am not overthinking. I am just trying to make sure that we are good as… more than friends. And you couldn’t be more wrong. There is nothing about you that bothers me. I like you just the way you are. And I want you to feel the same way. So help me to help you, mate.

You’re totally right. There is nothing to worry about my exes. 99% of them hate me… and I hate them a well. But, the thing about hanging out with friends, I was really talking about friends. I mean, I passed the Auror test and as a celebration I went out for drinks with Grabowski and a punk show with Dearborn. Should I have asked you for permission?

But we are good, we are fine. You keep trying to find issues where there is none. Come on, nothing? I know I am a flawed guy, i am not perfect, so please, don’t be like that. Because when my flaws start to annoy you, it will be worse. I love you, Is. With all your qualities and your flaws.

A punk show? Care to elaborate a bit more? I don’t have a problem with you going out with friends, but just be careful, a punk show does not sound like a secure event, especially now. Permission? Of course not, I am not your father. Since we are doing list, let´s put this there... no such thing as permission, we should communicate things to each other, so we know we are good and safe. Things are a bit crazy in the world right now, you know,

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

I really like them, that’s not a problem. So it doesn’t count as a no-no. Please Alec. We have to be honest, I read in Witchy Weekly that relationships only last when there is honesty. What do I do that bothers you the most?

I didn’t say you must go out with them, I meant if you ever want to hangout with them, that’s fine for me. I am not a paranoid. Because I trust you… and you trust me, right? So, now that is clarified, I like hanging out with my friends… so if I am not allowed to do this, it’s a no-no for me.

Can you stop with those magazines and quizzes?There is no secret potion for a relationship to work, it there was someone would be very rich by now. I bet there is a ton of things that I do that annoys you too but it’s part of the life. If we start focus on the small details we will forget to enjoy our moments together. You are overthinking again, Is.

Of course I trust you, that is not the point. And even though I am not a big fan of your exes, I would never say something about it. I mean, unless is some asshole, then I will, maybe, complain a little bit. But come on, you used to have a terrible taste in men.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

Lista de prós e contras… você é um gênio, Lochrin. Perfeito sem defeitos como sempre! Parece uma ideia perfeita. Quer dizer, a gente pode tentar ser pessoas melhores, né? Soa como a formula do sucesso…

You’re right. I’ve not being a good friend in terms of dealing with your exes…but, I’ve changed. I’m super cool about all of them. If you even want to go out to dinner with one of them… or even all of them… I’m fine. I even encourage you to do so…. they’re great string women… of course great companions… I mean, only if you want to. I’m not going to make you do anything you don’t want.

You don’t need to overthink a list, Is. It’s just about align expectations, so no one end up frustrated, ok? So what it is a no-no for you in a relationship? For me family time is important, but I think you already know that. And you like my family and they love you, so I guess we are good in that aspect.What about you?

Hey, hey, breath, Is, breath. I don’t want to go out with my exes, I mean, I do have a good relationship with them but it’s not the point here. And to be honest, in the stage of our relationship I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring too much outside interference. No until we feel ready.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

Hm… você tem razão… será que existe alguma forma mais confiável da gente monitorar nosso relacionamento? Adoraria algo bem… quantitativo, para ser honesta…

Hm… what kind of headaches? Do you mean the detentions or my dramas? 

Você tá viajando demais, Is. Relacionamentos não são uma ciência exata, se fosse as pessoas estariam indo atrás de livros ao invés de arriscarem tudo com poções mágicas. Mas se quiser podemos fazer algumas listas, pros e contras, coisas que gostamos e que não gostamos. Coisas assim... ajudaria?

Well, all the times you did something with my exes and I never knew why or every time that I try to get close and you pushed me away. But yeah, all the detentions too because you always got me involved. But maybe there is a ‘me’ problem... you see, you can make me do things, Isolde. It’s quite dangerous honestly.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

@aleclochrin​

Eu diria que estamos gabaritando esse teste, e você? Quer dizer, éramos ótimos juntos como amigos, mas como… o que somos agora, parece bem melhor, não acha?

Que nota você me daria como amiga em teste para, quem sabe, uma futura namorada? Pode ser honesto… estamos aqui para fazer isso dar certo.

Eu não vou reclamar dos benefícios que vem com a posição, mas também não vou levar esse teste muito a série, né Isolde. Afinal é a Witchy Weekly.

What do you mean? as my friend you are a solid 9. I’m sorry, I can’t give you a 10, you gave me plenty of headache. In many areas you will always be a 1- for me tho. Is that good enough?

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

Okay, I will not run away again. But I cannot promise this part that I do not act crazy. That’s my default. I can try to improve, but I cannot promise successful results.

Hm… yeah. Maybe we can ground some rules. You could stop talking to your exes, for example, huh? Or if you see them, make sure that I will not know.

I don’t expect you not to be...you.I know you, Is. I know when it comes to difficult situation you flight. I get it. We know well how to be friends, but we have to learn how to be, you know, more than that.

Okay, that is tricky. Do you want me to not talk with my exes at all? And if I happen to meet with any of them you don’t want to know, is that? But honesty is not the best way to go? I think is a bit too much, Is. It’s not like my exes are close friends or anything, you can trust me. No?

I think we should have a no date policy, I mean, no dating other people so we can figure out better what is going on. And maybe, we should keep this between us, you know how my family is, they cannot keep a secret to save a life. 

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

I’m selfish and didn’t think about you, Alec. Sorry. Next time we have sex, I will not disappear he next morning. I swear. I mean, if we have sex again… hope we will.. honestly.

Actually, I thought I was saving us from me. I am the true chaos, you know that. However, you’re right. I was already imagining the two of us married, raising kids together and stuff like that. I mean, we really should take a step back indeed. No crazy expectations… baby steps… 

How can you be that sure? I mean, the fact that we are good as best friend does not mean that will work well together in a romantic relationship. We should test ourselves.

I swear, Isolde. You’re something else, really.

Fine, Isolde. Whatever, let’s take it slow, let’s see how things develop between us. It is a no brainer for me, honestly. But if is that what you need fine. But don’t do this again, don’t run away and start acting crazy. If you don’t want me around just tell me to fuck off, anything, I can take it.

Because I know, Is. I just know. I know how i feel and I’m tired of pretending that I don’t have feelings for you. I’m tired of pretending that I don’t want you. But fine, let’s do it your way. Let’s take it easy, uh? But we need some ground rules first, don’t you think?

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

I wouldn’t disappear the next morning…at least not always. I just freaked out. You’re my best friend.. you saw me naked… we had sex… it was too much things in a short amount of time for me to handle rationally. Sorry about this.

I don’t know what I want, Alec. Since last night we were just friends… and now we are… I don’t even know what we have. I mean, I like you…more than I’ve ever liked anyone else. And I would hate to see you with another girl. But I’m not the kind of person who breaks up on good terms. And I’d hate not having you around because I’m a shitty girlfriend…

And don’t you think it was crazy for me too? Didn’t you think how I Feel when I wake up and you wasn’t there? I freaked out, Isolde. I thought I had ruined everything.

Can we just take a step back, breath and try to understand what is going on before we start putting crazy expectations on everything? Fuck, Is. Why are you running away from me? From us? It’s me, goddammit. You know me Don’t shut me out.

I will just say that, you might not know what you want, but I do know what I want. I’ve been denying it for far too long, but if you’re not ready that’s okay, I can wait.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

Ouch…

So.. you are talking about last night… hm.. okay… first of all, I really enjoy last night and now I understand why your relationships last so long. You’re good at… this. So, congrats. Second, do you really think this is a good idea? Should do we mess with a winning formula? I mean, should we turn our friendship into a monogamous relationship? Honestly, I wouldn’t mind having more moments like last night. But wouldn’t being friends with benefits be enough? I think we have lots of possibilities now… we should think about all of them.

Fuck, Isolde. You don’t need to be so... direct about everything. And thanks? I guess. 

Is that what you want? You want us to have sex and be friends? You want to climb on my bed in the night and disappearing in the morning? You want me to be okay with you seeing other people? 

Fuck, I need to sit down. This is too much for me to sink in this early. 

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

Geez, Lochrin. Why are you screaming? My neighbors already don’t like me, do you want them to start throwing rotten eggs at my door? Eu hein..

You’ll buy me a new door if that happens. Just so you know…

Of course I am not shitting you. I would never. You’re my best friend, man. Stop nonsense… if you do not want you give me your opinion about my look, okay. But let’s not fight over it… do you wanna a cup of tea? I bought a super good one, you should try.

How.. why.... Bloody hell, Isolde. Do you know how INFURIATING you can be?

‘I am your best friend, man’? Is this a parallel universe? Did something happen between last night and this morning? What is going on? Help me understand, Isolde. I swear to Merlin, I will fucking lose it if you say about this fucking date again.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

@aleclochrin

Lochrin!  What… a surprise… I mean, you did not tell me you’re coming… But okay, we are friends, no formalities between us, huh? Great to see you, mate.

By the way, you came at the right time. I was trying to pick a look for a date tonight, what do you think? Red dress or blue top and black skirt? Blue top, huh?

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK, Isolde? Why did you leave? And why didn’t you say anything?

Formalities? What are you talking about? Are you okay? Did something happen? 

A date? A FUCKING DATE? Are you shitting me? If that is a joke it’s not funny, Is. Not funny.

[aleclochrin]

isoldepritchard​:

I’m not a risk-averse woman. I actually like them… you should know that…

With a very common bloke, she probably would not. But with the bloke she likes the most in the entire world, definitely yes. It must stay between us, but I think she should take this chance before he finds a new shiny-haired girlfriend. Last time it happened, she got pretty jealous.. poor her.

Oh, I know that, I just have to make sure, because this is not a small step, right?!

He is very sorry he waited for so long to say something, or better, to act on it. It is just because he was so afraid to lose her. He cannot bear the idea to a life without her. He was even willing to plan her wedding with another dude, if that meant he will never leave her side.

Can I have the honor of this dance, Isolde Pritchard?
