The Magic of Deduction

Hello, my name is Basil Brett. I hope to one day become an auror, but while I'm stuck here I have decided to fine tune my skills of deductions. FC: Jesse Eisenberg Part of the Where Stories Meet Reality RP

Awesome Mix Vol. 1 | Basil & Sheila

[fishorfishes-deactivated2017093]

Watching him decipher the small clues to the gift before simply unwrapping it brought a smile to her face. She briefly wondered if his knowledge of muggle technology extended beyond the BBC broadcasts.

Pulling out a discman and pair of headphones from her small cross body purse, she presented it to him with a short explanation, “Songs from my childhood, namely my brothers as inspired by a movie I saw at a muggle cinema before coming back. You put the disc in here…” Watching his face her voice faded away, “What? Do you not like it? You haven’t even listened to it yet…”

Basil took a step forward and placed his hands on her shoulder reassuringly. "No, I do. I was just... confused." He leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

Awesome Mix Vol. 1 | Basil & Sheila

[fishorfishes-deactivated2017093]

Sighing deeply, she intertwined her fingers behind his head. “Ditto,” was her reply promptly followed by a longer and more soul searing kiss in return.

Pleasant to simply stay quiet and close to him for a few moments she inhaled and tried to memorize his intoxicating aroma again. It had been too long and she’d forgotten the hints of parchment paper beneath his cologne and shampoo smells. Biting her lip she ignored the urge to grin at the thought, My dorky little Ravenclaw.

Remembering her gift, she removed her arms from around his shoulders and presented it with a, “Ta-da! Happy Belated Birthday, I suppose.”

He smiled, and accepted the box from her. It was light, and smaller than a DVD case, so obviously it wasn't a movie. It had to be a CD of some kind. He tore off the paper, and read off of the label, face twisted in confusion. "Awesome Mix volume one." He looked back at his smiling girlfriend. "What?"

Awesome Mix Vol. 1 | Basil & Sheila

Smoothing out her new shirt, Sheila was ecstatic to be back to the place she called home. The stones walls may seem cold and dark to some, but to her it was sturdy and safe. 

In a rare moment, her twins had contacted her while still at St. Mungo’s and she had been ecstatic to see them on the condition they see a movie together. Having become inspired by the songs of her childhood, she decided to share those memories with Bay who she hoped was sheltered enough to have never heard these gems from the 80s.

Standing at the bottom of the Ravenclaw tower, she finishing writing the title on the cd as she waited for him so they could go on their date… where ever he was taking her.

Things at the school had been lonely for Basil, what with Sheila, Elle, and Anna all gone. So, when he heard that Sheila was back, he immediately owled her to arrange a date. Which led him to where he currently was, standing outside Ravenclaw tower, waiting for Sheila.

When he saw the Slytherin, a smile grew on his face. He stepped towards her, and pulled her into a kiss. When they broke apart, he leaned his forehead against hers. "I missed you."

Elsa was seated outside, hopefully in a remote enough area where no one would notice her, as her gloved hands held a book, and a soft laugh escaped her lips.

[consulting-auror-blog]

Basil was about to pull out a cigarette, when he heard laughter nearby. He looked up, and saw Elsa there. "Good book?"

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

What's up with you?

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

I’m not. *she narrows her eyes* You’re being secretive. 

[consulting-auror-blog]

It's nothing you need to worry about.

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

What's up with you?

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

Don’t be so annoyingly clueless. You and your ever analyzing mind,should know perfectly well what I’m on about. Don’t play stupid with me, Basil. It looks ridiculous on you. 

[consulting-auror-blog]

You're being ridiculous.

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

What's up with you?

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

Well, obviously. But since you being weird is typical behavior for you - it’s your norm. This is abnormal, this is actual weird. You’re weird. 

[consulting-auror-blog]

What the everliving fuck are you going on about?

[my-friends-call-me-meg]

*coughs lightly, frowning*

[my-friends-call-me-meg]

Don’t know who Anna is, but it sounds like a very naggy sort of name.

[consulting-auror-blog]

She's my best friend, and violently disapproves of my smoking. Luckily, my girlfriend, who's opinion I care more about, doesn't mind.

[shallwedance-shallwefly]

What's up with you?

[consulting-auror-blog]

According to you, I'm always weird.

[mila-thatcher]

You lot are so bloody boring.

Do something interesting, please.

[consulting-auror-blog]

Here's an interesting idea: you could always just entertain yourself like a big boy.

[consulting-auror-blog]

Did I ask for your help?

[vanellope-theglitch]

Are you always this stubborn stinkbrain?

[consulting-auror-blog]

Yes, yes I am. There may be some hope for you yet since you obvious possess basic observation skills.

Did I ask for your help?

"Oh, come on, you’re the prefect here. You should know if there are any parties tonight. Spill already,” she insisted. 

[consulting-auror-blog]

"Well, I did hear that the Gryffindors are planning one hell of a rager on the sixth floor tonight."

[consulting-auror-blog]

Did I ask for your help?

[first-the-worst]

"Should’ve given him a crime to solve or something." she leaned into her seat, staring up at the wall. "… Basil, m’bored."

[consulting-auror-blog]

"It's not my job to entertain bored fourth years." Basil rolled his eyes. "And I suppose you expect me to fix that."

[consulting-auror-blog]

Did I ask for your help?

[first-the-worst]

She sighed, sitting across from him. ”.. who are you scaring away now, bud?” 

[consulting-auror-blog]

Basil looked up at the girl sitting across from him. "Some know-it-all fourth year. Reminded me of myself from that age."

Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

[my-friends-call-me-meg]

*coughs lightly, frowning*

[my-friends-call-me-meg]

*she purses her lips, nodding after a moment* 

Yeah. I prefer this one, too. 

[consulting-auror-blog]

It's even worth Anna's nagging.
