Nate: Yup I am! But it's so fine, Archer. I don't like parties or big crowds anyways so I'd rather be away from the action. And this way I get to teach the kids all about the Scottish quidditch team!!

Nate: Oh, that's such a kind offer but I don't want to put you out or anything ☺️

Archer: The only crowds I'm willing to brave are ones for a comic convention 😂 It's why I'm not out there today to be honest, so I get you to an extent

Archer: That's so cute though! Are they enjoying the lesson?

Archer: I wouldn't offer if it would do such a thing, don't be silly! I'm just sat at home rewatching Spiderman movies so it's not like I'm super busy or anything 😂

Seb: Hey! Yeah, it's great. Ver apparently won a bet so I'm helping her find the person who owes her four galleons 😂

Seb: Of course I can! Consider it done

Seb: You okay there by yourself?

Archer: For real? Sounds like an eventful evening that you two are having 😂

Archer: Awesome! Thanks Seb!

Archer: Yeah I'm alright! I'm watching Into the Spider-verse again even though I've basically got this movie memorized 😂

Archer: Hey man! I hope you're having a blast!

Archer: If you see a stand selling them anywhere, do you mind getting me a Quidditch World Cup mug? I love a good collectible 😂

“erm do you mind if we pretend like we’re dating for the next five minutes? there’s this girl who won’t leave me alone, obsessed with my dad and my saying i’m gay isn’t deterring her. please? i’ll owe you a few rounds of drinks.”

“I mean I guess you’ve got some time before my girlfriend gets here,” Archer shrugged back, although he had no clue how he’d help the other pull the charade off. He was already pretty awkward to begin with. “Will you explain it to her when she arrives if I agree to this?” he asked with a light laugh.

Auggie gasped as the box the man was holding made a noise, “That was… interesing. I’m assuming you’ve got something a little more exotic than a dog or cat in there? If it is a dog, it’s got a very funny bark. What is it?”

@archerselwyn​

Archer turned his attention to the woman when she commented on what he was possibly transporting in the box. “Oh yeah, this is no dog,” he confirmed with a soft laugh. “It’s a baby Hodag actually. They’re pretty weird looking things.”

“Are you sure? Because you did a really good job at it.” She chuckled, holding her hand over her heart as she could feel it pounding against her chest. “I thought you might be getting back at me for that one time where I surprised you in your bedroom in Hogwarts, a well executed, several year revenge plan.” She rambled. “No- no, it’s okay. I didn’t need those extra five years of my life anyways.” She teased the other, a smile on her as she got over the shock of no longer being alone in her flat. “I’ve been trying to look for a reasonable priced lot that I could buy to take my business to the streets rather then just my kitchen counter.”

“Do I really strike you as a several year revenge plan kind of guy? To remind you, I shoo flies out of the house instead of killing them because I’d feel guilt until my death,” he laughed in response, knowing she was only joking after all. “Oh stop– are you really okay?” Archer raised his eyebrows momentarily at the alarming exaggeration on Grace’s part, having to actively tell himself not to worry as she was still messing with him. “Your very own bakery? That’s incredible, Grace!” he beamed with excitement. While it had been fascinating to watch her work freelance from her kitchen, he could only imagine what she could do with her business if there was a proper establishment people could go into. “Found anything good so far?” he wondered, trying to take a peak at what she had pulled up on screen.

declanxrowland​:

“Oh man, you should have seen. Kid did two, that’s right two backflips on his broom without falling off and then landed on his feet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it, even from professional flyers.”

@archerselwyn​

“Woah– really?” Archer couldn’t help but bubble over with laughter at just how passionate Declan seemed about what he’d just witnessed. “Now I’m bummed I totally missed that. Do you think anyone caught him on video? That seems like the sort of thing that could go viral on the wizarding side of the internet.”

irislcstrangc​:

“Oh hush.” Iris cut him off with a wave of her hand. “You are not taking up my time. If anything you’re giving me something else to concentrate on my music that is really evading me right now. I need the distraction.” She assured him. “You can buy me a smoothie from that place I like them from.”

“Alright, if you say so,” Archer replied compliantly when she’d insisted that he was not wasting her time. “Oh? Have you got the musician’s equivalent to writer’s block right now?” he asked curiously. “I can absolutely do that. I might get one for myself too actually– I haven’t had a good smoothie in a while.”

“I think sometimes you can get pretty lucky, especially at places like these. People have them in their homes or have had them passed down from like their grandparents and probably don’t even know how much they’re worth.” Liam commented as his fingers filed through another box of comics. “Imagine if you found them and they were like two pounds or something. You’d hit the jackpot.”

“Makes sense. I wonder how often people get them authenticated before giving them away to places like this,” he pondered briefly. “Not to be dramatic but I think I’d be able to die happy after that,” he chuckled. “Although someone better bury me with said comics otherwise I’ll find a way to come back and haunt everyone,” Archer added jokingly, knowing that even in death he wouldn’t be able to be malicious to others like that.

sebastianxnott​:

“No, we definitely are. I’m not going any further,” Seb replied, shaking his head as he laughed with his friend. He pushed himself to his feet with a groan, “Dude, I can barely move my arms. We are totally getting takeout.”

“I am absolutely not going to protest that,” he chuckled back when Seb insisted on them getting take out. “I wish I could apparate back to the flat but I’m afraid not all of me will come back,” Archer groaned, wishing he didn’t have to make any effort to move anywhere.

gracexturncr​:

Grace continued to glare at her screen, scrolling every now and then as she chewed on the sleeve of her hoodie, she was so focused and in the zone at looking at potential listings that she didn’t even hear Archer come in, nevermind sit next to her. “Merlin, Godric and a Hippogriff!” She shrieked, holding a hand over her heart. “When did you come in, surely I would have heard you and aren’t you supposed to be at work at-… when did it get to seven at night?” She frowned.

@archerselwyn​

Archer had jumped in his chair the second Grace had shrieked, not having anticipated the loud outburst of fear from his girlfriend. “I swear I didn’t mean to scare you,” he quickly said, his heartbeat drumming in his ears from the sudden burst of cortisol. “Merlin,” he then fell into a laugh of surprise, shaking his head as his heart rate settled down again. “Sorry, Grace– really.” Archer moved to kiss her temple softly, feeling guilty for the fright he’d given her. “What have you been working on? You must’ve been deeply focused if you didn’t even notice the time fly,” he asked, trying to peer at what was on her screen.

[archerselwyn]

irislcstrangc​:

Iris, who was aware she could be a little hard at times, let her expression smooth out and soften at the others words and she smiled at Archer reassuringly. “I really don’t. You’re being sweet and you’re trying to make your girlfriend happy. Why would I ever mind helping a cause like that?”

“I just feel bad taking up your time when you’ve probably got plenty of more important or exciting things you could be doing with it instead,” he explained. “But thank you, Iris. I absolutely owe you one after this, okay?”

[archerselwyn]

sebastianxnott​:

“Some guy at work who I now think has a vendetta against me or something,” Seb replied, placing a hand on his chest as he caught his breath, “It’s not even done yet but let’s stop here. Head back home. Is it bad that all I can think about right now is food?” He asked, laughing a little, “Are you okay?”

“That guy must be Superman or something... holy hippogriffs,” Archer gasped. “We hadn’t even finished the workout yet? You’re kidding,” all he could do was laugh in surprise, not even wanting to know what came next in the workout that he was convinced came straight from hell. “Food? Now you’re talking, Seb. Takeout or do you think we should cook something?”

[archerselwyn]

“There’s so many rare ones here,” Archer observed, flicking through an old Avengers comic as he spoke. “I wonder if I can score and Spiderman ones that don’t cost like 20k. The harder comics are to come by, the more often that price tag makes me wish I was rich,” he chuckled, setting the comic aside to look at what Liam had picked up.

[archerselwyn]

“Hey Hugo!” he greeted the other with a smile. “Sorry I’m a few mins late, Grace had some leftover cupcakes and said I could bring them over to share with you!” Archer announced, holding out the tray proudly. “What do you say? Want to try one of each and rate which flavors we like best?”

sebastianxnott​:

“There is absolutely no way I am doing that again,” Seb replied, collapsing in a heap on the grass. He spoke as if he were out of breath, because he was, and tried his best to catch it, “Listen, I consider myself to be in good shape but that was just… excruciating. How do people work out like that every day?”

“No clue, dude,” he confessed, pulling out his inhaler from his backpack. “I feel like my heart’s about to explode,” Archer said through shallow breaths before taking the time to take a couple puffs of his inhaler and steady his breathing. “Where did you hear about this workout in the first place anyways?”
