FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION

[miaharvard]

My, my.... Aren't you a sight for sore eyes.

[bruisedpotter]

Hey!

[bruisedpotter]

You know, when people who haven’t seen it say that, I take it as a compliment. But when you say it… I’m not so sure if you’re serious or not.

And I you. Have you kept busy without me?

[miaharvard]

"Oh I'm plenty serious." She gave him a quick wink before laughing. "And yes. Coach has been running us ragged since our loss to the Tutshill Tornadoes. I caught the snitch but we still lost.... it was absolutely embarrassing."

[auror-aidrik]

I case you were wondering...

[auror-aidrik]

[He leaned forward with a wide grin on his face.] Well thank you, Harvard. That’s the kind of thing I love hearing.

[miaharvard]

She smiled, leaning slightly back. "I think I might know someone perfect for you."

[auror-aidrik]

I case you were wondering...

[auror-aidrik]

I am. Wait, are you serious?

[miaharvard]

I mean yeah. You're a nice guy, attractive, what most girls want. So yes, I'm very surprised you're single.

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[readallabout-alice]

Oh Godric, I remember that! I also remember about a week later I was head over heels for some guy in our Potions class… I’m not very good at keeping my resolutions!

[miaharvard]

I only outlasted you a little longer. It was about a month after that resolution I began my love-hate relationship with James. You didn't make it an easier on me considering you two were already close to begin with. Well I'd have to say we've come a long way since then.

Oh! Remember the exchange during 7th year? That's probably where that resolution would have come in most handy for you.

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

Well, it’s good that you didn’t. We might have lost a very good Quidditch player, then [She smiled, trying to lighten the mood. Talking about the war was never really fun]. What does your father do at the Ministry anyway? 

[miaharvard]

  He's head of International Magical Cooperation and then my brother's an auror. Not to mention my boyfriend is an auror as well... is he my boyfriend? Did we label it?

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

I’m  Healer at St. Mungo’s. But I wasn’t talking about that. I mean, don’t get me wrong—I love being a Healer and helping people, but I love travelling more. I did quite a bit of it, but I had to stop my travels when the war broke out. I’ve been here since. [She shrugged] It kind of sucks, really. But you gotta do what you gotta do. 

[miaharvard]

The war was a hard time for everyone. For the first couple years everyone kept asking why I didn't follow in my father's footsteps and join the Ministry.

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

Well, then, it doesn’t matter at all. I know what it feels like to do what you most love, and when it comes to that, sometimes you have some bad that you have to learn to tolerate. It sucks but at the end it’s worth it. 

[miaharvard]

What exactly do you do?

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

Oh, wow, seriously? I was just kidding about the stalker thing. I didn’t realize you’d actually dealt with any…then again you’re famous and all famous probably do, huh? 

[miaharvard]

Yeah but what makes it all worth it is getting to do the thing I love most.

[auror-aidrik]

I case you were wondering...

[miaharvard]

Really?

I find that extremely surprising.

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

"Um, somewhat. I mean, I watch whatever games I can and keep up with it, but nothing too extreme. I’m not like a stalker or anything." Naina grinned at the blonde, finishing up her drink and ordering another. 

[miaharvard]

Oh I've dealt with stalkers and believe me, you're far from one. Or at least far from the ones I've dealt with.

[bruisedpotter]

Hey!

I haven’t talked to a person outside of work for days. They’ve been riding my arse lately.

How are you? 

[miaharvard]

I'm sad to hear that, although I can't blame them... you do have a nice arse.

Better now. I've missed you.

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[readallabout-alice]

I’m right there with you. I think we all need a new start this year. Cheers!

[miaharvard]

She sighed. "You know, its times like these I remember all the stuff we went through at Hogwarts and all the other times I said I needed a new start. Remember that time in fifth year we swore off of boys?"

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

"Naina. Naina Kapoor." She smiled, taking another sip from her drink. "And you, of course, are Amelia Harvard of the Holyhead Harpies." 

[miaharvard]

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Naina and please call me Mia. Are you a quidditch enthusiast?"

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

[kapoor-naina-deactivated2014020]

I’ll drink to that [Naina raised her glass and then took a swig of her drink]

[miaharvard]

"Cheers." Mia knocked back her own. "And who may I ask am I sharing this toast with?"

[miaharvard]

Here's to the new year

and to a new start to all.

[bruisedpotter]

Surprise!

[bruisedpotter]

That should be a good thing. Taking life seriously.

How can I say no to that? Alright. I’ll see you at four?

[miaharvard]

Then four it is.
