“i wouldn’t tell you about news if it wasn’t going to be good.” she would never have prepared something like this for bad news, it would just be too sad to do that. even worse if it was to break up with him. “you think? thank you.” she was never the best with cooking but she was glad he liked it. blinking, she held her fork and took a bite, unaware of the fact she hadn’t been eating. “sorry.”

“Don’t apologise,” Gray smiled, scooping more food into his mouth. “You clearly have something on your mind that distracted you, so I forgive you.” As he ate, Grayson looked over at his girlfriend, his best friend and smiled. In his eyes, he was the luckiest boy on Earth.

taking a seat of her own, she was far too excited to really care about the food in front of her, despite that she had been hungry hours before. it was rather silly for her to be too excited to eat, almost like a child at christmas. “great news, at least, i hope you see it as great news.” her face was glowing and her eyes were shining as she looked at grayson. “no, i never want to ditch you, gray.”

“Oh, good!” Gray smiled before beginning to stuff his face full of food. He wondered what it could be about, what could make Mary look so excited. Maybe a promotion? Pay rise? “This is really nice, by the way,” he stated, coving his mouth as he spoke. “You gonna start yours?”

callhimprongs:

“ always a jolly lad, wood. it’s always a delight to see you around. “ he grinned. “ mind for another round of drinks? ‘m afraid i’ll stick around. “

“No, another round sounds like a brilliant idea, Potter,” Gray nodded in agreement before turning to flag down the bartender. “What do you fancy?”

[grxyson-wood]

mavdonalds:

“you aren’t going to get ill and that’s what counts here.” she replied, a wide smile on her lips as he placed a kiss on her cheek. even after all this time, the small brunette still blushed and could feel the butterflies going insane in her stomach. “i know you do and don’t be sorry. i’m just as bad when it comes to my own job. you know how i get when i start reading. it’s just nice to be able to sit and have dinner together and i have news once we’ve ate.”

Grayson picked up his cutlery and looked up at Mary with a slight frown disturbing his brow. “News? Good or bad? No one’s died, have they?” he asked, wondering if he’d missed something when he’d been reading the Daily Prophet. “You’re not cooking a nice meal to then ditch me, are you?”

[grxyson-wood]

callhimprongs:

“ maybe one of these days i can ask a good ol’ friend like you to give my leg muscles a massage. “ he wiggled his brows, laughing. “ it’s not much, especially not for an aging friend, no?“

“Oh, Merlin, Potter!” Grayson laughed, shaking his head as he chuckled. “I’m not sure that’s really I job I’m qualified to do but anything to help a dear friend.”

[grxyson-wood]

mavdonalds:

it was important that she told grayson in the best way possible, to tell him what she thought was good news. starting a family with grayson was all she had wanted to do since realising her feelings and now that it was here, she couldn’t be more excited for it. maybe it was the fact that this felt safe, that despite the ongoing war around them, with grayson, starting a family would be safe and nothing bad would happen, that she knew already. “i wanted to do something nice for tonight.” mary was hoping he’d just assume that it was just a night that she wanted to be nice, that he wouldn’t click on to being something like this. “it’s one of the few dishes i can cook so i know it’ll be fine.”

“I’m sure it’ll be lovely,” he smiled, leaning to plant a kiss on her cheek before seating himself down. His belly rumbled with hunger which was a common occurrence when Gray had been working all day so, dinner sounded wonderful. “Well, I appreciate it, Mary, I really do. I’m sorry we haven’t seen much of each other lately, though. I feel like I’m doing over-over time!”

[grxyson-wood]

callhimprongs:

“ don’t be too humble, wood. i always knew you’d make gryffindor proud one day. “ james broke into a laugh. “ lucky bastart, aren’t you?  i feel like i’ve tremendously aged since i left hogwarts. who knows, i might be the age of a grandpa now. “

“That’s nice to hear, actually, so thanks,” Gray smiled before laughing, too. “A Grandpa? Bloody hell, you better have a break before to fall over and break your hip!”

“gray, dinner is ready.” the small brunette yelled, looking at the homemade food she had made. the past month she had been visiting doctors, needing to know if it were true, if she were really pregnant. mary knew she should have been worried but the fact she was doing it with grayson made if something that she couldn’t help but be more excited for than anything else. to tell him the news, the former lion had made a dinner, something that seemed more akin to a date night than every other dinner they had had recently but she wanted to tell him and make tonight memorable. 

Sat in the living room, Grayson had the Daily Prophet open and was skimming through the articles one by one. There wasn’t much change from the day before, details of events that had occurred weeks ago that the Ministry were investigating and announcements of weddings and deaths of people Gray didn’t know. The sports pages were his thing. He folded the paper up and put it to one side upon hearing Mary’s call. “Alright, I’m coming,” he replied, pushing himself up from a cosy armchair to seek out his girlfriend. “Smells good, darlin’. Oh, very nice indeed!” he compliments upon seeing the spread she had provided.

“Ah, busy at work. I understand that fairly well actually” he chuckled with a nod as he leaned against the counter and looked at the other. “I’m good, thanks for asking. Busy as well. I have so many deadlines, even if it’s summer I don’t get a minute worth of sleep”

“What is it you do?” he asked, curious. It was hard keeping up to date with everyone he went to school with, especially when Gray was hardly ever in one place for long enough.

“ look at ‘ya living life! i’m proud of you, pal. don’t forget me if ever you get famous in your line of work. “ james smiled bashfully. “ things are…. fine. i’m still in one piece. lily’s been grumpy at me lately, though, which is why i’m borrowing mary’s time for a lil bit of help. nonetheless, i miss my days at the castle. you kno? “

“Hey, I won’t get famous because of this! I’m surprised people don’t hate me more; I mainly keep telling people off lately which ain’t fun,” Gray replied with a shrug. “But, it pays well enough.” As James continued, Grayson’s brows knitted together a little. “Well, I hope that Mary will help in some way... As for the castle, it feels like I never really left.”

callhimprongs:

“ maybe i’ll bump into her soon.. “ james went back to downing the remaining liquor in his glass. “ how are things with ‘ya, wood? “

“Pretty good, yeah. Works a bit of a killer, though; they’ve got me doing a lot of travelling to all the clubs across the country. Lots of paperwork,” he sighed. Paperwork was the bane of Grayson’s life. “How’s things with you?”

[grxyson-wood]

misterandrewbrooks:

A smirk formed on his lips as he watched the other drink, tiling his head to the side and then shrugging. “Oh nothing” he said and shook his head. “Rough day?” he asked.

“Yeah... been rather busy what with it being the summer season and all,” Grayson replied, licking his lips. Work had him travelling all over the country every day. It wasn’t too tiring having to Apparate everywhere but it eventually wore the body down. “You alright, though?”

[grxyson-wood]

mavdonalds:

a soft smile played on mary’s lips as she watched her boyfriend down his drink, her own hand holding a glass of water. she didn’t feel the need to drink, not recently. “what happened to make you need that?” she questioned, curiosity leaking from her words. “it doesn’t matter. what happened, love?”

“i just feel a little... odd? Being here, I mean,” Gray admitted with a shrug. “All these faces, some of which I haven’t seen in years. Makes me feel uneasy, too.”

“ you must be kidding, wood” amycus frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. “ i’m gorgeous, haven’t you noticed the girls all staring my way?”

Grayson looked around with a fake confused expression. “No, you know, I haven’t. Maybe they’ve got a lazy eye, though and are actually looking at me.”

[grxyson-wood]

snakexinxbed:

“ i was saying… that you haven’t gotten any better looking”

“Oh, that’s just plain rude and incorrect,” Gray replied with a soft pout. “You haven’t improved much, either.”

[grxyson-wood]

callhimprongs:

“bloody fucking hell, mate.” james couldn’t help but chuckle in his near-drunken stupor. “ i wus’ only asking if you came with mare ? lily misses her so… and it has only been a few days since mary visted home. ”

Gray nodded his head as he looked around. “Yeah, she’s here somewhere... Not really sure where but somewhere in here,” he replied with a soft chuckle.
