they told of courage so bold it burned;

If you can't fly. RUN. If you can't run. WALK. If you can't walk. CRAWL. But by all means, KEEP MOVING. Gryffindor. 17. Prefect

[littlemisslongbottom]

I didn’t. It was it or me, Goldstein, I’m not letting that ugly thing win and turn me lesbian. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“Okay one, it and I have feelings -- two, I can’t argue with that logic” 

[declanclaverdon-blog]

I can’t turn down a chance to convert a Puddlemere fan. But yeah, that sounds like a good idea. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“This is going to be fun” his smile widening, “when do you want to start looking? Considering we’re both aiming for the Ministry -- central London might be ideal, right?” 

[littlemisslongbottom]

About what?

[arran-w-goldstein]

“Shower --when did you get over your hatred of penises? “

“Not that I’m complaining -- just curious”

[declanclaverdon-blog]

You’d want to room with me? I mean, it sounds so appealing when you put it like that. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“Shut up -- you know what I mean” he chuckled, “I could think of worse things -- plus, I actually like you” 

“so, is that a yes or a no?”

[littlemisslongbottom]

{ Mara’s arm reached out of the shower. As her eyes rolled, a hand grasped to his wrist to steady herself, and careful to not let her wand anywhere near the spraying water, pointed it at Arran. Accio, she thought, letting go of him as the remainder fell neatly into her palm. “There, you baby,” she grumbled, dropping her wand and upturning her hand to the water, allowing the rest of the multicoloured mess to find its way down the drain. }

[arran-w-goldstein]

“It’s cute how you’re attempting to be annoyed --” he grinned, looping his arms around her waist as he tugged her closer, “you know, I thought you were bluffing--”

[declanclaverdon-blog]

I’d like to think so, but a lot of people are still getting used to the idea that we can even graduate from Hogwarts, so we’ll see. I know that feeling. It seems wrong to move back home, but I don’t know where to go next. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“I’d like to think that the Ministry of all places is progressive --”

Arran hadn’t been hell bent on living alone, he couldn’t say that he was completely disappointed with Mara not moving in with him, she had been right. They needed more time. He didn’t really think to ask anyone else, hell, he wouldn’t mind being alone, it wasn’t a big deal to him, yet having a roommate could be fun. Sighing ever so slightly as he took note of the boy who seemed just as lost as he was on the topic, he knew what he had to do, “want a roommate? I’m not going back home -- I mean, for the first few weeks of summer -- sure, but I’m moving out. I was going to live alone, but if you want -- I wouldn’t mind having a roommate? Gives me all the more time to convert you into a Puddlemere lover--” 

[littlemisslongbottom]

You can’t learn the easy way. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“Rosebush -- help”

[declanclaverdon-blog]

That’s impressive. You’re probably better than 75%. I put out a couple of applications, but we’ll see where I end up.

[arran-w-goldstein]

“You have too much faith in me -- you’re going to be fine Declan, they’d be idiots to not take you on--” 

“I also need to figure out my living arrangements -- preferably before my mum decides to meddle--”

[arran-w-goldstein]

littlemisslongbottom:

Yes, dear. 

“Shit -- help me” 

[littlemisslongbottom]

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

[arran-w-goldstein]

“You know it’s true–”

“So, how’s my hair? Has it survived?”

[declanclaverdon-blog]

Hopefully working for the Ministry. What about you? 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“Hopefully got into the Witch Watchers training program? I’d like to think that I didn’t screw up my N.E.W.Ts so, I’m about 75 percent confident I got in -- I think”

[littlemisslongbottom]

Wooooow. 

That’s the most offensive thing you’ve said all week. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“If you think about it -- it’s a compliment” 

[theannieaubrey-deactivated20180]

“I didn’t say you had to get back at your girlfriend or anything.  Just someone you don’t particularly like.”

[arran-w-goldstein]

“I don’t really have anyone like that -- no one’s really pissed me off? Plus, I don’t think I want to wage a glitter war during the last week of school--”

[littlemisslongbottom]

And King, thank you.

[arran-w-goldstein]

“I was so impressed--how did you even steal that title from Bletchley and Pritchard? I was so sure it would be them--”

[declanclaverdon-blog]

Yeah, we’ll sort that out eventually. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“What are you doing after all of this?”

[littlemisslongbottom]

Well. I’m about to turn the big bath into a hot tub. It’ll feel like getting out of the snow; Jesus. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“Drama queen--”

[declanclaverdon-blog]

I wouldn’t be a good friend if I let you keep cheering for them. 

[arran-w-goldstein]

“What happened to agreeing to disagree? If I play into your logic, I’m a terrible friend for letting you cheer on the Wanderers--”
