sometimes even to live is an act of courage

@grace-acker

My name is Grace Acker, I am 21 years old, and I was in Slytherin house. I work as a journalist at The Daily Prophet. I have survived my father, my school, and a war that threatened to take away everyone and everything that I hold dear. I am a phoenix. I am a survivor. Just watch me burn.

I’ll do it myself, if it comes to that, I promise. If only to save my own ears. [He grinned cheekily.]

I'm honoured that you would be willing to kill me to save yourself.

Oh, I don’t think they’d be confused. They’d probably love the stories as much as I did when I was little. Lorcan was a little more skeptical than me, I think.

I don't doubt that. I guess kids have huge imaginations, so they'd have no trouble wrapping their heads around all the things you write.

Never, ever. Let’s just hope we’re not like that when we’re hold. Making everyone listen to awful music and talking about the ‘good old times’ non-stop.

Oh Merlin. That sounds terrible. I sincerely hope if I ever become that person that someone will put me out of my misery [She chuckled.]

Has anyone else been actively avoiding mistletoe?

For some reason it seems as if it pops up in the most random places this year.

I know. I almost got stuck under it with one of Vormund's lackeys the other day. I practically dove out of the way to avoid it!

What is it with this song and Christmas? And all the old ladies just love it. It probably reminds them of their youth…

In that case, we're never going to hear the end of it, are we?

Who's there?

*he let himself let go of all is worries for a bit. At the moment, there were no laws, no attacks, no regrets about anything. Lorcan put one hand on the small of her back and pulled her closer to him before deepening the kiss. His other hand reached up and ran through her hair. Somehow, just being with her and not thinking about anything else, calmed him. All the muscles in his body relaxed and he just continued kissing her.*

[The events of the day had set Grace on edge, and while the kissing was helping, her mind was still whirling a little bit. Being close to Lorcan was helping calm her down, but her nerves were still a little bit frayed. As he deepened the kiss she smiled and began to kiss him back fiercely, letting her worries go and trying to forget everything but this moment.]

If I hear one more Celestina Warbeck song, I’m going to strangle someone! Seriously, that cauldron song seems to be everywhere these days.

Oh my Godric, me too. I'm starting to wish I was deaf...

Yes, he’s finally talked me into writing about our travels. I think I might write Children’s books about Nargles and wrackspurts and blibbering humdingers.

I'm sure kids would love that. They'd be confused, probably, but the little ones seem to love the creative stuff.

*he narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, his face very close to hers* I’ll wait for the day you find something to hold against me. *a few seconds after he spoke, he leaned in and kissed her*

[She said nothing, just kissed him back. She knew there was probably nothing she could find, but it wouldn't stop her from trying, at least not a little bit. Then again, she really didn't mind him teasing her about kids a bit. It was sweet, and innocent, and if he didn't cut it out by the time they actually had kids... Well, she was a witch after all, and wands were meant to be used. Only a harmless spell though, something that would be guaranteed to make them both laugh. She smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around him.]

Caron might kill me, at that. Although I think I might be writing a book about our travels, which will explore some of the odd things we’ve been a part of while visiting more remote tribes in different countries.

Well, we can't have that. I'll stop being nosy, I don't really like the idea of Caron killing you. A book? Really? That's amazing!

Who's there?

seekerscamander

*he laughed with her before smiling* Try me. I’m an open book.

Uh-huh. Open book my arse. There's got to be something... I just need time to think of what it is. And if I can think of anything, there's always other stuff to use against you.

I’m not sure which ones you’d like and which ones would scar you for life, honestly.

I'm pretty sure the ones I'd like to hear are the ones that are going to scar me for life, so you can honestly tell me just about anything.

caron-rogers-deactivated2014042

True. There is no point. But we still can’t help it sometimes, can we? But I’m really grateful for those two. They saved the both of us. And look at us now. Neither Death Eaters, nor working for the Ministry. I think we’re doing pretty good.

We most definitely are. We're happy, and after all the crap we got as kids, I think that's the most important part. And the two of them are a big part of that.

Oh no, I'm fine

I didn’t hear from many people actually. I just keep tabs on that arse.

Oh, well I'm going to have to start checking in with you to see what he's doing. I don't fancy being on his bad side.

Who's there?

seekerscamander

Maybe I do know all those things, I just don’t admit that I do. *he smirked as she kissed him* Oh, definitely. You should’ve figured that once I knew that bit of information, I’d never let you live it down.

Not a chance. [She laughed and gently pushed him.] You know this means I'm going to have to find something else and use it against you, right?
