Isobel Thurston. Seventeen. Ravenclaw. Beater. Josh is an asshat.

I, for one, am ready to go back to sleep. 

You’re not alone in that. I also wouldn’t mind a bath.

You’re exaggerating. I would like to think mine’s slower than yours. You could hit me and I probably w-won’t react till much later.

You’re doing fine, I just feel like I n-nag at you when you’re already focusing. I’m trying not to act like a mother. Fiona keeps telling me to relax, but it’s r-rather hard. 

I think we’re both about as reactive as canned milk. That’s just what happens when you’re a Ravenclaw. After about your fifth all-nighter, you just become numb to all stimuli.

You’re definitely the mom friend, but you’re not naggy at all! Fiona only says that because that’s how sisters are. Trust me, I live with you for most of the year. I’d notice if it were overbearing.

That’s a good call. Although I’m sure it cleared out by now, Iz. 

Ask the leaves.

Be that as it may, I’m not taking any chances. Better safe than sorry!

Figures. Asking the leaves might actually be easier than getting a straight answer from you.

Not to mention, tine as well. Like it would just appear out of nowhere all of a sudden.. w-well for us.. The seekers p-probably already had their eyes on it a long time ago…

Our l-late night cram sessions? Really? You don’t mind me… um.. nagging half the time? 

No kidding. I have no idea how the seekers do it. My reaction time is at least 5 seconds slower than it should be.

Fel, are you kidding? I wouldn’t get anything done without you keeping me focused every time I get distracted by something, which I’m sure we both know happens more often than it should.

james-jokesmith:

Someone beat me to it? Damn it. Well… I did take a big dum– Uh, wow, Iz. Did you do something with your hair? You look pretty. 

Right... I think I’ll avoid the bathrooms today. 

Is this a trick? Did you charm it purple again while I wasn’t looking?

[james-jokesmith]

You should’ve made use of your Inner Eye to foresee my location, Thurston. 

[isobelthurstons]

That joke is even funnier the fifth time! My first guess was that you were off putting something horrifying in the girls' toilets. At least that's what the tea leaves told me. And the tea leaves never lie, Potter.

Those bludgers are scary.. They must really hurt when they hit the players don’t they? Especially when the Beaters add on the power with their bats. But you got to admit, the seekers have pretty amazing eyesight to see that snitch even in the rain and snow. I think I would be able to come if it’s next week. See you in action and glory. And yeah, we could head over to Hogsmeade.. It’s been a while since I’ve gone there too, Fiona keeps complaining I don’t go out often. I guess we couldn’t really help it. You’ve been busy prepping for graduation.. I’ve been busy with my own schoolwork and Prefect duties too. 

[isobelthurstons]

Take it from me, getting hit by one is never pretty. But I have no idea how the seekers do it. That snitch is fast.

Yay! I'm so excited! And yeah, there's not really much time to go out, especially when you pile on Quidditch and Prefect stuff. But it's not all bad. Some of my favorite memories happened during a lot of our late night cram sessions!

I think it’s amazing how you could still play during a storm. Those goggles must have fogged up all the time, unless you cast a spell on them. I would assume there are less injury on a sunny day. When’s your practice? I..It’s been a while since I’ve seen you play. 

[isobelthurstons]

It's a miracle. Luckily being a beater only requires me to locate the bludgers, which even in the rain are pretty hard to miss. But I feel for the seekers, trying to isolate that tiny snitch in the pouring rain. Ravenclaw's practice got pushed back, I think. Last I heard our's got moved to next week? You should come! I can meet you after and we'll go to Hogsmeade or something. It's been a while since we've had some quality time together!

[feliciatheeagle]

It’s still better than rain, isn’t it? 

[isobelthurstons]

Very true. Quidditch in the rain is bloody unbearable. The worst part is the goggles. They never fit quite right on my head. I'd much rather brave a little heat.

[isobelthurstons]

[james-jokesmith]

… That’s so hot, Iz. Thank you for the mental image.

[isobelthurstons]

I live to please.

Speaking of mental images, where were you in Divination today?

Which means Quidditch Practices are going to be much sweatier.
