“Janey,” Annette smiled softly, leaning over to give her practically-definitely-sister a hug, “Praise like that coming from you would make up for fifty Howlers,” She giggled, fiddling with the ring on her finger, “Annette Longbottom—wow, that’s—-kind of weird to hear out loud. I’ve only been doodling it on parchment since third year but it’s actually going to happen, you know?” She bit down on her lower lip to try and keep the goofy grin she was sure was on her face at bay, “Speaking of advice—-how are you, Jane?”

“Fifty Howlers?? I didn’t realize I had the effect of being able make up for fifty of those things but it’s true!!” Jane smiled, hugging her sister back ( Annie was her family, no matter what, she was ), and when she pulled back, seeing the grin on Annette’s face just made her feel happy. Her brother and Annette were going to be MARRIED soon, and they were happy. When it was her turn to talk, to answer the million dollar question, she shrugged, “I’m -- I’m good, you know?? I can’t complain. Do you think I need advice?? I want to talk more about how gorgeous Annette Longbottom sounds.”

Ryder froze, eye widening when he heard her voice. Her. J a n e. His Jane. He had been so caught up on what he would do once he found her that he didn’t realise she’d found him first. “Sorry, I— “ All of his eloquence was lost the minute he saw her. “I mean — ” Ryder ran a hand through his hair, jumping up from his seat to greet her. He chose to swallow all the words jumping to the front of his mind. Sorry. I love you. Do you still love me? Will you have me back? I missed you. None of them seemed appropriate. He didn’t even know what was appropriate for them anymore. “Hi.”

Jane could feel herself look at him, and it felt as if her eyes were glued to his figure. It was if she was making sure that he was REAL, making sure that she wasn’t just finally going mental and imagining that Ryder Bellamy was there. A warmth tingled down to her fingers as she felt herself giving him a small smile, “Hi,” I’ve missed you. Are you staying? Slowly, Jane reached out to touch him, quickly bringing her hand back, a blush rising in her cheeks. “Sorry, that was odd, I’m just not sure if you’re real or if I’m just FINALLY having that mental breakdown everyone says should be coming soon,” Jane sputtered, trying to catch her breath.  There were what felt like a million emotions drowning her, but mostly she felt joy, hope, and love.

“I know that I should be thankful but I think I would die happy if I didn’t have to sign another piece of paper or…body part ever again. –Well at least for a little while.”

“Dom!!” Jane ran to hug her friend, a girl she looked up to and missed, who was family in all but blood. “But I wanted to get your autograph on my BUTTCHEEK!!” She joked, giggling.

“And then, this lady sent me a Howler because I told her to confront her boyfriend and he ended up breaking things off with her—and it’s like, obviously my advice isn’t always perfect but really, she’s probably better off without him anyway, don’t you think?” Annette shook her head, “Feeling responsible for the relationship success of the readers of Witch Weekly is so hard sometimes.”

“I have to agree that communication is key in a relationship, and if one person isn’t willing to listen to the other person’s needs ..... she’s definitely better off, I imagine,” Jane commented, before giving a smile over at Annie, “it is hard. But you’ve done an AMAZING job, there are so many people who benefit from your advice more than anything. I know firsthand that Annie Bardon Longbottom advice is the best advice.”

pollux flint.

“I don’t see how THAT is of any of your business, to be quite frank. It’s kind of like asking a female their weight ; just plain r u d e. Don’t you think?”

“I do apologize, Ms. Flint, that I’ve got to ask you such personal questions. It’s just for the Unspeakable maintenance checkups, the department asked me to get a very COMPREHENSIVE study of your mental state.” Jane sat down and crossed her legs, looking more seriously at Pollux, “I promise you, I’m not here to judge in the slightest. If it helps any, I could try to answer the questions as well so you don’t feel as exposed??”

“Is there anything you need or would you just like to keep staring? I don’t mean to be rude, it’s just a practical question. Either way, take a seat. You’ve been there for a while.”

Jane’s head was turned a w a y from him, her hair a sheet covering her face when he finally addressed her. Yes, she had been staring but for good reason, of course. Finally, she turned her head towards him, FIDGETING with the bangles on her wrist. “Some people don’t recognize me out of my work uniform, I suppose.” But Ryder Bellamy wasn’t just some people.

“To celebrate becoming an official Healer-in training, give everyone a round on me!”

“Welcome to the crew!! And wow, that’s so generous of you. You’re LUCKY I don’t drink beer though -- something tells me your tab is going to be a bit high.”

“Look, I understand you’re annoyed, but yelling at me won’t make the manager floo here any faster.”

Putting herself between Teddy and the person seeming to harass them, in her firmest voice she said, “sir, mam, you, PLEASE stop yelling at my friend, okay?? They’re doing the best they can.”

“If you’re going to keep messing with my plants, at least find the ones that won’t bite. That one– you see the way the leaves are turning red? That means you’re about to lose a finger.”

“Doesn’t this one need to be fed via dropper?? I’m rather rusty with my plant handling, I’m afraid. Da’s probably going to rush over here himself and give me a LECTURE over not keeping up with my Herbology handling knowledge.”

I am a tiny person with only two hands. I am trying to love the world around decades of war and skittish heartbeats. Usually, I am afraid. It hasn’t been easy, but I am trying. I haven’t stopped loving, yet.
