I don't think you like me

~Former Slytherin. Current Quidditch Reporter. Democratically voted Biggest Troublemaker of the Class of '23. "I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free. Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.”

"How... how dare you honestly," she shook her head at Erin's teasing. "Yeah– that's right. You get up early to go on runs. That's old people behavior for sure," Laurel took the opportunity to poke back at her best friend. "I'm so glad you're game. It's going to be so much fun," she grinned passionately. "That is a perfect idea! I fear we're going to explode from all of that but like... we'll have fun doing it and that's what truly matters."

[erin-mccormack]

"Uh, I would argue that waking up early and exercising is actually very young people behaviour. Case in point, I used to do it at school — when I wasn't hungover — so I think that makes me very youthful." Erin pointed out. "Of course, I'm always up for a night of us making mayhem. Oh, we'll definitely explode, but we'll go out doing what we love, right?"

"I think Octavia would've said formal or black tie if she meant that," Max pointed out. "So I think you kinda hit the something nice category, it's not too casual, but it's also not insanely fancy. You seriously have no idea whatsoever on where she's taking you?"

[erin-mccormack]

"You're right." Erin took a breath. "You're right, I'm spiraling, I just need to switch my brain off." She shrugged. "Nope, not a clue. I know your love life leaves a lot to be desired, but sometimes people plan secret, fun dates."

[laurelcllivanders]

"Oh Godric–" Laurel's face fell in horror, "You might be right. No– no, I can not be getting old." The brunette seemed absolutely appalled. "That's literally my worst nightmare. Should we go clubbing tonight?" she suggested, half-joking and half-serious about proving to herself she was still cool. "That sounds amazing. I was originally thinking chocolate but now I need to try the dulce de leche. Or we can get an extra serving and another dip with that."

[erin-mccormack]

"Face it, mate. You're old." Erin joked. "I would, but I got up early this morning to go on a run so I might be - fuck, now I'm sounding old! You know what? Yes, let's do it, prove to ourselves we're still young." She replied. "Maybe we get a whole bunch of flavours, test them out and see what's best?"

[laurelcllivanders]

"I really need these to be life-changing, Erin. My feet are killing me," Laurel complained as the queue they were in seemed to drag on. "Do you just get the classic or is there like a flavor or dip for them or something you'd recommend?"

[erin-mccormack]

"Oh come on, I distinctly remember us waiting in lines longer than this when we were underage, hoping to get into clubs. Maybe you're just getting old." Erin teased. "I think they're best with dulce de leche, but they've got a whole range of dips on the menu."

"Sorry– sorry. The whole kid thing really threw me for a loop," she admitted through her laughter with a wave of her hands. "You definitely should. You can quote me and everything– she's sick," Laurel grinned when Erin said she'd pass on what she said to her mother. "Right? Like... I still don't feel like a real adult sometimes and I hate that but it certainly makes me the opposite of mother material right now." She laughed along with Erin at that, "It totally is your vibe. I love this. Do you know what flavor you're going to go for? Or are you going to make that a mystery too?"

[erin-mccormack]

"I don't blame you, honestly. It threw me for a loop, holy shit." Erin replied, before chuckling. "I will. She loves you anyway, I'm sure she'll take it as the highest sort of compliment." She nodded along. "It's weird, isn't it? Sometimes I feel like school wasn't that long ago, and then other times it feels like forever. Being in your twenties is weird." She mused. "I don't know. Maybe I could go for a layered cake, that way there'd be a bunch of different flavours."

[revcluticnvry]

Max let out a small laugh. "I mean, she didn't say formal did she? Because I feel like the dress you are wearing would constitute as nice but not like formal or black tie."

[erin-mccormack]

"Well, no. But that would almost be easier. I know formal and black tie. Something nice to me is jeans and a nice top, but I feel like that's not what she means." Erin replied. "You think so? Good, then I'm sticking with it."

"Holy shit dude... what the fuck?" her eyes widened at Erin's revelation. "I think I would be spiraling if I were you. Like... of course your mum's metal af but the thought of having kids right now is like a living nightmare for me, I dunno about you," she added, mouth still falling agape. "Ok, I love the question mark concept. It's ambiguous and giving cool girl," Laurel described what she was picturing as she began to visualize everything. "Not to mention it'll most likely look good on socials if you want to post any photos."

[erin-mccormack]

"Wow, what happened to the whole 'supportive best friend, you're living your own life schtick', you're not supposed to start spiralling with me." Erin replied. "I'm going to tell her you said that, she'll love it. Right? Like, I can barely take care of myself right now, let alone a whole child." She laughed. "Well, ambiguous cool girl is kind of my whole vibe. I think I'm going to go for it."

[laurelcllivanders]

"I cannot say I blame you one bit. Like... this is fake. I don't want to accept a world where one day I'll be... thirty. Like ew–" she pulled a face and recoiled at the thought, "I think I'm going to have to host a funeral instead of a birthday party for that." Laurel plucked herself from her thoughts to focus on Erin. "But I mean look... we could still celebrate you and just avoid the whole age thing? Just throw you a party and I'll make sure we don't put any numbers on the cake."

[erin-mccormack]

"You know, I realised the other week that I'm the same age that my mum was when she started having kids, and I genuinely had to go and have a lie down, because what you mean, she was practically a child." Erin exclaimed. "Throwing a funeral for your twenties sounds super metal, I love that for you." She laughed. "I like that idea. Maybe we just put the candles in the shape of a question mark, leave people guessing."

[elijahwesternberg]

"I am not sure I need to look more 'Professor-y' but thank you for attempting to alleviate some of my concerns." Elijah laughed softly, tentatively brushing a hand through his hair, clearly at least a little self conscious about it despite his joking. "Woah well... now it feels a little less concerned for my wellbeing and more your own." He barked in amusement.

[erin-mccormack]

"Really? You don't think the kids will listen to you more if you look older and distinguished?" Erin asked, before putting her hands up in faux defence. "Hey, can't I be concerned for both of us?"

[erin-mccormack]

"... but is it enough, do you think?" Erin asked. "Because all Octavia said was 'wear something nice', but her definition of nice is much fancier than mine and I don't want to be underdressed."
