It's just my leg - it could have been loads worse.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

I-in what way?

[alex-bones-blog]

Because you're not unattractive, and this is a very flattering shade of pink that I worked very hard on

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

Pink is literally the only thing that makes me look w-worse than I a-already do.

[alex-bones-blog]

That's absurd.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

You’ve managed to make all my school shirts half pink. Half pink. In an interesting gradinet effect. Have you been trying to do potions and spilled things again?

[alex-bones-blog]

The important thing is that the color suits you.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

I have noticed.

[alex-bones-blog]

The color's not even turned all the way it's fine.

[alex-bones-blog]

He probably won't even notice....

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

I’m not sure I like the idea of being your bit on the side, Bones.

[alex-bones-blog]

But you're so much more than that, come on.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

A-are you s-sure?

I mean… Ted might get jealous.

[alex-bones-blog]

Maybe that's the goal - you know, he's been going around with Andy for ages with no regard-

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

I haven’t been so good at reading my post lately.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well, even if we didn't invite you, you're coming. You can be my plus one.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

I know, that’s why I told you.

Hang on, wedding? Who’s wedding?

[alex-bones-blog]

Ed's wedding. Could have sworn we invited you

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

We didn’t want to upset you. But at this point, I honestly think it’s for your own good that we tell you.

[alex-bones-blog]

Merlin, I'd have kept it for ages. Gone to the wedding with it and everything.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

Alex, I’m saying this as a friend; nobody likes the facial hair but you.

[alex-bones-blog]

[he sighs] Months, Jules, months it's been like this.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

That’s what I said. I think it means “sort of gross and a bit dirty.”

[alex-bones-blog]

It's not like it's Hagrid's, mine's groomed and....mature.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

Yes, she did. She thinks it looks sort of, and I am quoting her directly here, “scuzzy.”

[alex-bones-blog]

Scuzzy?

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

And I’m not sure Greta likes it, either. More significantly.

[alex-bones-blog]

Really? Did she say something?

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

Well, Ted will never marry you if you don’t get rid of it, you know.

[alex-bones-blog]

Yeah, I'm sure that's the only hold up with the wedding.

[alex-bones-blog]

Well.

[juliusgreengrass-tma-blog-deact]

Well, I don’t know anything about these things. I do know that facial hair doesn’t work for you, though.

[alex-bones-blog]

I'm wounded, Jules, honestly.
