I told you it was long! It gets in the way of everything. I don’t know how you girls do it. [sighs bc it feels good when people play with his hair] School? It’s boring. And hard.

[ellamckinnon]

Because we actually take care of it. [smiles a little at his reaction, feeling a bit like her own mother each and every day. ends up thinking about Felix before she hears Ben speaking] Boring and hard? That's exactly what school should be.

[benjaminmckinnon-blog]

[looks up from the Hufflepuff team Quidditch playbook] Hey, Ella. Yeah, I’m ready.

[ellamckinnon]

Bloody hell, your hair did get long! [settles herself down on the couch behind her brother and starts messing with his hair bc aw baby] I'll try to make it like how mum does it, okay? [starts snipping away] So how's school?

[ellamckinnon]

[walks into the Hufflepuff common room with a pair of scissors and a plastic bag] Hey, Benny. Ready for your haircut?

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I feel like I have been a recluse.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

Been doing work, fell behind quite a bit, don’t even know why, but oh well, all caught up now. So here I am, ready to spend well deserved time with my favourite person in the whole world!

[ellamckinnon]

You better be talking about me, Larsen, or I'll gut you like a pig.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I feel like I have been a recluse.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I missed you too, sorry I haven’t been around [looks down towards their hands, swaying them absently, feeling slightly guilty] I’ll make it up to you, Elly, promise. 

[ellamckinnon]

You're here now. That's all that matters. [gives his hands a gentle squeeze] What have you been up to these past few days?

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I feel like I have been a recluse.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

And it would explain why I can’t help but want to, do this,

… I hope I am your boyfriend, or he’s gunna be pissed at me.

[ellamckinnon]

[sighs happily after the kiss, a dreamy sensation washing over] Yup, you definitely are. [holds his hand with a smile] I missed you, Fe.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I feel like I have been a recluse.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I don’t know anyone who looks like me, unless it’s me, is it me? If it is, I have to say, I’m one lucky guy to have a girlfriend as beautiful as you.

[ellamckinnon]

Hmm, I don't know... Is it you? It would explain why I have butterflies in my stomach right now.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I feel like I have been a recluse.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I don’t think I have… unless, is he that super handsome bloke? 

[ellamckinnon]

Looks a bit like you.

[siriuswolfblack]

To be honest, I’m not so fond of dying at all. 

But the Three Broomsticks does sound lovely, El. How’ve you been?

[ellamckinnon]

Everyone dies at one point or another, Sirius. It's the earth's way of punishing us for all the pollution we've oozed out.

Brilliant, actually! I feel good. Stronger. Fresh, y'know?

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

Um, hi, who are you? 

[ellamckinnon]

Just a lonely girl looking for her boyfriend. Have you seen him?

[benjaminmckinnon-blog]

I do. It’s just a phase.

[ellamckinnon]

[fairnarcissa]

[pulls head back away from Ella, then takes a few steps back] So you’re going to blame all out of that on me? Really classy of you. I actually didn’t have a problem with you, until you decided to spread rumours. So don’t say this is my karma, because it is not. This is all on you. And I’m not going to fight you Ella. [takes another step back, and pulls out her own wand just in case] You’re not worth it. 

[ellamckinnon]

I don't care about what you have to say because it's all just a bunch of bullocks. Quite pathetic, don't you think? Getting engaged to someone who can't even be faithful to you with a lowly Hufflepuff like me? You must have some seriously messed up standards. Hey, not my life, so do whatever you want to make it miserable. It's a wonder why my brother constantly deals with your crap. [smirks and puts her wand away] All bark and no bite. [shrugs] Goodbye, Narcissa. [walks off casually]

[siriuswolfblack]

The Three Broomsticks, perhaps? I heard that the Shack isn’t any good.. it’s boring and all, dilapidated.. wouldn’t want the place collapsing on us, y’know?

[ellamckinnon]

That works too. I mean, I'm not so fond of dying just yet.

[benjaminmckinnon-blog]

He’s- He’s just going through a phase. That’s it.

[ellamckinnon]

[shrugs] I don't know.

[vanity-is-a-sin]

How do you accidentally cut your hair?

[ellamckinnon]

When you're a natural born klutz, things happen.

[the-felix-felicis-puff-deactiva]

I feel like I have been a recluse.

…why?

[ellamckinnon]

Hey, stranger.
