Never thought I’d be hearing Gawain talking about love like that. What did you do with him, Seren?

No I see, but it’s true. In times like this love make everything hopeful. And since you’re offering… I wouldn’t mind. That’s matter what it is, but you still know my usual, right?

I do treasure these moments, Gawain, for real. I would be a fool if I took any credit for that, maybe weddings do touch a soft spot in my brother.

I won’t take anything, and I do feel like maybe I should go and congratulate Grisha, I still haven’t seen her since the toasts. I’m sure you too will know how to have fun without me. It was great seeing you again, June, maybe you should come visit sometime.

I never said I was the romantic type. But I know love when I see it and the kind of love these two have? It’s not everyday we get to see something as beautiful. Ok, Ogden’s it is then. 

Yeah, yeah, Seren, weddings are my Achilles’ heel... or maybe the open bar. Who knows? I sure don’t.

You do know that’s her not-so-subtle way of leaving us alone to play cupid, right? C’mon, Seren, you don’t need to leave. June can get in my pants whenever she wants.

valentinejune​:

Isn’t really hard to beat jail but I guess you’re right. Yeah, I know about that. Good thing everyone is alright. Fierce kid, Katherine. She kinda reminds me of myself. I just hope she doesn’t do anything that I did though.

Hey, look who the cat drag in. Seren was telling you smiled two times this month. That must be a record. We were talking about you behind your back, but I can continue if you want.

Yes, anywhere would be nicer, I guess. She really is, but if life has taught me anything is that wishing that people don’t repeat the same mistakes we did doesn’t work. In the end, all we can hope is for things to end up well.

And it’s only the 18th! My hopes are up for the rest of the month. It’s not like we were saying anything bad, but it is serendipitous that you showed up just now.

Well, make it three then. Look at them, white and shiny pearls. Treasure that moment. 

I haven’t had many reasons to smile lately... But we’re all gathered here today to celebrate love, I guess that’s reason enough. That and the open bar. Which reminds me... can I get you something?

[aurorgawain]

serenrobards​:

valentinejune​:

Likewise. Well, the hug felt real. But then again, it could be my mind playing tricks on me. As far as you know? Not enough. If you disappear in front of me, well… won’t be any different from the past.

I’m surprised as well, it isn’t even close to Christmas and miracles and all. How’s everything?

I was just joking, June, I promise I’m here, okay? Well, it is much more pleasant here than it was then, isn’t it? So I’m sure there will be no need to suddenly disappear.

If there is a year that we could expect the unexpected, it’s this one for sure. Things are great, well, as great as they can be. Katherine has already recovered, dad’s been stable and I’m pretty sure I saw Gawain smiling two times this month. But what about you, dear?

Did I hear my name? Dav usually says it takes three times to conjure me, yet here we are...

To what do I owe the honour? 

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

I may take on that invitation then. Would I find you at the same old place? It feels like ages since I last visit there.

I know quite few things, Mr. Robards. Contrary of you might think, I’m not an amateur. I may not have a law enforcement training but I know my way with words, enigmas and some mystery. 

Oh, no. I’m not living in Hogsmeade anymore. I mean, you might happen to find me there one day or another but I’m usually at London now. Might come back to Hogsmeade given the circumstances, though. I don’t know yet... But I’ll keep you posted, if you give me your address so I can send you an owl...

I can tell. You’ve always struck me as a very clever girl. I wouldn’t have most of  my leads if it wasn’t for you, so...

[aurorgawain]

robards-katherine​:

I know, right?! And… fuck. It’s horrible know things like this. Trust me. 

But today I just wanna have fun with my family, friends and… family and friends. I think if have a good time, maybe not be in stressed mood all the time, could help. I’ll take care of myself and drink as much I can. Deal? Não vai nenhum amigo seu?

You’re right. Let’s not think about it, at least for the night. You deserve to have fun. Damn, we all deserve it. 

Deal. I’ll quit being the overprotective uncle as long as you take care. Não que eu saiba. Eu não conheço ninguém nesse casamento, tô indo mesmo pra ficar de olho em você e na sua mãe. Mas eu prometo ser invisível. 

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

Is this any sort of invitation or is just the liquor talking?

So should I trust you just like that? Maybe a quid pro quo? I give you something and you give me another something in return. I can work on that term. Is this the liquor talking again? 

A bit of both? Well, if I’m being honest... I didn’t drink all that much. 

Wow, she knows her latin. Fair enough, Miss Turpin. I can work with that. I must warn you, though, I have way more suspicions than evidence for now. Which is why I haven’t been able to do much. Like I said, I didn’t drink all that much... 

[aurorgawain]

robards-katherine​:

He kinda sucks sometimes, but it’s tolerable tho.

Tenho uma ideia melhor… O que acha de eu usar um feitiço de desilusão? Assim ninguém me vê. But one glass of firewhiskey and one glass of hidromel. C’mon, faz tempo que eu não bebo e eum preciso relaxar um pouco… e você não vai querer que eu beba sozinha, não é?! Okay, Gawain. Esteja sempre alerta e não aproveita a festa. It’s your choice, but not mine.

Look, I know you think I’m being paranoid. But I’m just trying to protect this family. 

You know better than anyone how dangerous... you know what? Never mind. I don’t wanna ruin anyone’s night. Just promise me you’ll take care and call me if you see anything weird. I’ll be as close as I can without embarrassing you. Does that work for you?

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

Indeed, the food is exquisite. It is nice to discover some interesting Scottish delicatessen.

Exactly, how can I know who t trust? I’m not trusting good information on the hand of anyone, Mr. Robards, it would be stupid and reckless. I only trust myself right now and a few friends. Everybody who is smart enough can see the the Minister is lost or they don’t want to go after certain groups. I don’t even know why we are having this conversation here…

Yeah, my mum is Scottish. I grew up in Hogsmeade so... if you ever wanna try more “Scottish delicatessen”, hit me up. We’re not just kilts and bagpipes.

You should share information with me. No one wants these wankers on Azkaban more than I do, trust me. I almost lost two family members already... You’re right, though this is not the time nor the place... So... maybe you can share your findings with me some place else? You know where to find me.

[aurorgawain]

robards-katherine​:

An anger-issue dude and an vegan-hippie-woman. Do you know them?

What do you mean? Eu estou toda tampada! Quer que eu vista o quê? Uma burca?!? Gawain, you need relax. It’s just a wedding. One glass, deal? Haha, sure, Gawain. Sure. Acho que está terminando o cabelo dela.

I’ve heard about them. They sound interesting. Especially the one with anger issues, sounds like a hell of a bloke. 

Ok then, pretend I never said anything. Maybe... wear a jacket, though? You can borrow my trenchcoat if you want. One glass and one glass only, all right? There have been attacks on farms before and an event like that may attrack unwanted attention. Todo cuidado é pouco. 

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

i’m sorry I’m not trying to attack you specifically, but let’s be honest, the way the Minister is dealing with all of this is questionable, don’t you agree?

When someone I care already got hurt I don’t have the luxury to just sit and wait. i’m not playing superhero, I’m just doing what I know I can do well. It was me who was finding the hiding messages at the Prophet, right?

Well, it kinda looked that way. But let’s try this again, shall we? Have you tried the canapés? They’re delicious...

Sure, here we go again... That’s why you should’ve brought your suspicions to the authorities. You’re right, you can’t trust just about anyone, but there are a few names who could’ve helped. Look, I know what it’s like, okay? Way too many people I care got hurt by these so called death eaters... I hate them just as much as you do, probably more. Still, we have to be smart about it.

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

Like we let trained people do deal with the attacks on the Diagon Alley? I’m not saying that your people are not working hard enough, I’m just saying that I have my doubts when it comes to blindly trust in some Institutions. Can you tell me frankly that I am wrong?

You started this conversation, Mr. auror, not me. I was doing my job too.

I take offense to that, actually. I was there. I was the one who blocked access to the floo network. I was just trying to catch the perpetrator.

Look, I’m not saying that institutions are always right, I have my reservations as well. But you should not act alone either, chances are someone you care about is gonna end up hurt. These are strange times we’re livin’ in. The less casualties, the better. And we can’t avoid casualties if civilians keep playing superheroes. 

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

Proper one? Because only the oficial ways are valid, right? Like I should put my faith and trust on Institutions that failed us again and again, Sure. Thank you very much, for showing how unprepared the officials are. 

Finding things is not like your job? Go ahead then. You should have out a track on her, make it more oficial.

I didn’t mean that. But it’s getting dangerous out there. You have no idea. You don’t wanna a target on your back, trust me. Better let trained personnel deal with it.

Damn, woman, what’s with the sharp tongue? I was only doing my job.

[aurorgawain]

islaturpin​:

Sorry, I di… no, I haven’t. 

Ow, funny, you ruined my side investigation but playing the ‘I don’t know you card’ is a bit too much, don’t you think? Anyway, cheers and good luck with your girl.

Shit. Ok, I didn’t ruin any investigation, I made it into a proper one. An official one at that. So you should be thanking me, really.

Anyway, I don’t have time for this. I have a running niece to find. You sure you haven’t seen her? She’s about that tall?

[aurorgawain]

@islaturpin​

Excuse me, have you seen a blonde girl in a green dress? She looks kinda like me but prettier.

Hey... Don’t wanna be rude but you look familiar. Have we met before?
