Wouldn't It be Nice if We Were Older

[missemmeline-vance]

I've spent the entire week reading...

What'd I miss?

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[the--emma--vanity]

It— [She looks at her for a moment and then smiles.] It’s fine. Just— ehm. What’s got you so tired?

[missemmeline-vance]

I don't sleep well, it's- well it's a bad habit. 

What's the paper for if you don't mind me asking.

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[hazel-athogwarts]

It’s fine, it happens all the time. Are you alright? Most people sleeping in the library got that way panicking about a paper due in the morning. 

[missemmeline-vance]

I'm fine, I was just waiting for somebody. I mean- we didn't have plans but I figured he'd show up eventually. 

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[hearthandhome-jones]

Enough to look at a watch and tell me if it’s an okay present?

[missemmeline-vance]

Perhaps. 

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[hazel-athogwarts]

Um hello? We’re almost at curfew… Hello?

[missemmeline-vance]

Oh sh- sorry. I didn't realize it was almost curfew. 

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[the--emma--vanity]

Please don’t. You’re going to drool on my paper.

[missemmeline-vance]

Oh- sorry. 

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[hearthandhome-jones]

But you love me.

[missemmeline-vance]

Not enough for this. 

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[hearthandhome-jones]

No!

[missemmeline-vance]

Hestia! Not cool.

[missemmeline-vance]

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a minute...

[giantsquidprongs-deactivated201]

I know I've been away.

[missemmeline-vance]

It’s nice to see you back, Jamesy. 

[giantsquidprongs-deactivated201]

Cheers, Em. it was weird being away from school, funnily enough.

How’s everyone?

[missemmeline-vance]

Good, I suppose. I've been spending excessive amounts of time in the library lately.

[giantsquidprongs-deactivated201]

I know I've been away.

I don’t want to talk about it though.

[missemmeline-vance]

It's nice to see you back, Jamesy. 

[missemmeline-vance]

This book is actually kind of funny...

[missemmeline-vance]

Yeah, of course.

[hearthandhome-jones]

Wicked!

[missemmeline-vance]

So what's up in the life of Hestia? I feel like I haven't seen you in ages.

[missemmeline-vance]

This book is actually kind of funny...

[hearthandhome-jones]

Which one?

[missemmeline-vance]

Catcher In The Rye. 

[hearthandhome-jones]

Haven’t read it yet. Can you lend it to me when I’m done?

[missemmeline-vance]

Yeah, of course.

[missemmeline-vance]

This book is actually kind of funny...

[hearthandhome-jones]

Which one?

[missemmeline-vance]

Catcher In The Rye. 

[inboxideas]

My character is jokingly ignoring yours. Send me an ask with how your character gets their attention?

[missemmeline-vance]

This book is actually kind of funny...

[rem-uslupin]

Madam Pince kicked me out of the library.

[missemmeline-vance]

You’re right about that one.

[rem-uslupin]

Until I’m allowed back in, I’ll probably just be studying in the common room– if you’d like to join me.

[missemmeline-vance]

Yeah- sure. Alright. What are you studying for?
