I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
Good. So what kind are they?
I love you too.
Chocolate chip. I think there's also some sugar cookies in there, but I'm not entirely sure.
How's Alchemy homework going?
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
Okay. They’re not those demonic raisin ones right?
You deserve every award. Mum of the year award too.
No, ew. I threw those out as soon as I tasted the raisins.
... Have I mentioned I loved you recently? Because if not, I love you.
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
You’re a cruel, cruel woman, and you always have been.
Actually…I did. It wasn’t easy and he wasn’t okay but…I found him. And I brought him home. And I came back. For you.
I'm not going to deny that.
... You found him? Wait? Fuck. Seriously? I-is he okay now though? For me. You came back for... You thought I'd go anywhere? Seriously Ric?
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
I’ll pass. I’ve missed you too.
Yes, studying. What have you been up to?
Well if you want anything else, I've got some cookies in my drawer, surprisingly enough.
Just working on some new lesson plans. Making sure to keep the students interested. You know me. I deserve a professor of the year award.
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
Share with me? Well that’s a horse of a different color. Forget glasses, just pass the whole bottle.
I’ve been out looking for Jason.
No, I'm just going to dangle the bottle right in front of your eyes and hope that you don't manage to snatch it from my hands. It's so much more fun that way.
And I'm assuming you haven't found him?
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
A lot of trouble, and with me, because the Gryffindors don’t need any help accessing alcohol.
Hey you. Long time no see.
Don't give me your angry face. You know I won't share any with you when you're this way.
Hi there, lumberjack. Where've you been, anyways?
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
Well, it’s a good thing we’ll never have to find out.
Would you like some? Just don't tell McGonagall. And I've missed you. Been busy studying, I suppose?
I wonder how much trouble I'd be in if I offered up some fire whiskey.
Because honestly, why would I let this good of a bottle not be shared?

And this sudden finding of knowledge changes everything?
How you feel about Ric?
I'm not saying it changes everything. It just hurts to know that all this time... He felt the same way and he never came and contacted me. He knew where I was, I didn't. He was always traveling.
No, not how I feel about Ric. But it brings back feelings for Nate that are... Well they always say, you never forget your first love. Especially not a love that made you put up a wall so high that not even Rapunzel could use her hair for a prince to get up it. It still beats me how Ric got there.
Lisa? -private-
When are you going to know what to do?
I don't know...
I really don't know. I'm so confused right now. The thing was... I never-- I didn't think he was going to come back. Yet alone still be in love with me. I thought I had to move on, for my own sanity. Because for a while there I was letting Nate's disappearance tear me down and I couldn't do that... I had to let go eventually.
Smiling, psh, me? No, I’m a bitter bitch, obviously. Yeah, missed you too. Or chocolate, could’ve brought me chocolate. Thanks.
Just thinking.
Obviously, I don't know what I was thinking. I could do chocolate. Still want some chocolate?
Me too. It's hard to think when a mind's plagued with thoughts, yeah?
Lisa? -private-
Then we have to find him. I’ll help you.
He couldn’t have disappeared off the face of the earth.
I sure as hell hope not... Although then I wouldn't have to face him. But I wouldn't do that.
I still don't know what to do, though.
Well, I might as well have a drink.
Why are you saying all of this stuff to me? You know what I’ve done. To you, to Victor, to Aberforth—I didn’t think I’d come back, damn it. I didn’t think that I’d have enough strength to face any of you again, after all I’ve done… I’ve failed everyone, and I can’t live with myself. Everyday, people ask me why I don’t smile—that’s the fucking reason right there, Lottie! Because I can barely live with myself, what makes them think that I’ll be able to live with them?
-Stares at her before closing his eyes slowly, sinking to the floor as his fists clench before he sits down on the ground- I’m a selfish man, you should know that better than anyone. -Opens his eyes slowly as they begin to brim with tears, he starts to breathe heavily as he looks like he’s in pain- Even though I put you through so much, I couldn’t accept the fact that I still don’t deserve you. And you proved me right, Belle, you found someone else. And I want you to be happy—whether with him, or with another man. I just need to see that smile that makes me smile back.
Because you know how you said you didn't like to see me upset? Or hate on myself? The same goes for me. You are nothing like you say you are. What you did... What you did wasn't right, I can't say it wasn't, but that doesn't mean you're a horrible person. And besides, I always loved it when you smiled. And your laugh is quite lovely as well. But if I ever hear you say that again I will personally come and slap you so hard that you will fly all the way to Japan. Do you understand me? I will not let you think like that any more.
-Watches him and blinks back more tears, for seeing him like this tears her to shreds. She slides down next to him, their shoulders touching as she does so and looks over at him.- Look at me. -She said softly and when he doesn't do it she tilts his chin up with her forefinger.- You need to... Okay first you need to breath, okay? Just a big, deep breath. Secondly, I need you to forget about that for a second, okay and just listen to me. Please forget Ric right now. I don't want to talk about him, or I'll just feel guilty. But I promise you, you'll still see me smile. But I need you to smile too. I need you to try to forgive yourself. Or else no one else will be able to forgive you.
Lisa? -private-
Woah. Uh, okay. Give me a minute to absorb everything you just said.
[After a few minutes of silence she spoke up.] First, before you do anything else, I think you have to tell Ric what’s happened.
I know I do... I know. But I haven't seen him for a whole month. I don't even... I don't know where he is.
Lisa? -private-
…Yes.
Well, we dated a while back.
And by dated I mean I was helplessly in love with him and would have done anything in the world for him. He left me because of personal reasons right after seventh year... He wrote me but I could never write back. My heart wasn't... My heart wouldn't let me. I was angry and sad at the same time and I missed him with ever fiber of my being but I thought if he wanted to be with me he should've been there. And I thought e had moved on when he stopped writing. I figured he had. So I built the wall. That was the wall that came down with Ric... Much too easily. Maybe it was because I saw some of Nate in him, I don't really know. But I'm helplessly in love with him still.
And so tonight we were talking and it turned into a fight and then he pulled out a ring and told me he had been carrying it around with him because apparently he had been planning on asking me to marry him before we broke up and now he's here and we yelled at each other and he kissed me and I don't know what to do because of Ric and I still love him and I just...
Help me?
Lisa? -private-
I’d play mum everyday for you if you needed it.
So what happened?
Thank you.
You know Professor Reece, yes?
Lisa? -private-
I came as fast as I could.
Who did the what?
I honestly don't know what happened tonight and I'm confused and I don't know what I'm doing.
Sorry you have to play the mum tonight, sweetheart.
