    “i liked fit girls.. you go in there.” he’d always claim that he was definitely her type, regardless if she said otherwise or not. he didn’t care. he’d always be beyond full of himself. if any little thing was different in either of their lives, this wouldn’t have been happening. or it could have been if they both stayed in their family’s good books. “i don’t know if i’m going to be out of the country or not this week. i just know we gotta get some bastards.” sirius shrugged, stopping at the short line for the ferris wheel. “hopefully it won’t take long. but don’t worry, i’m not running away from you.. as much as that would be absolutely brilliant.”

“that’s a vague category, black. very shallow of you. what about the girls personality, hm?” desdemona’s lips curve in a wry smile then, a note of teasing to her voice. “looks wise, had you washed your hair at all, you might have been mine.” every now and then she did have to throw him a small bone. lest he get sick of the constant pokes and jabs. she leans against the railings of the queue then, a clearly dissatisfied look on her face as she tilts her head back to look at him. “i don’t like when you leave the country. maybe auror isn’t the job for you, have you considered being a barman?” she aims an elbow at his ribs then, “fuck off.”

“Three,” he confirmed with a slight smile. “I mean, I do study and look after Dragons, so they’re a step down from that. Plus, I have an infinity for dogs.” Allen’s Patronus was also a golden retriever which his parents always said was his spirit animal. “Of course,” he replied softly. “It’s absolutely pointless but then I wasn’t one to make that choice. Rocket is more of my godson’s dog and he wanted that. After his mother passed, I can’t say no.”

“how do you have the time?” the thought of all that work outside of a job alone was enough to make her nauseous. no thanks, give her the easiest way out or nothing at all.”right. kids.” again, not something she was a fan off. fine with them until they hit four at most. then just about everything they did got on her last nerves, and she’d much rather avoid them altogether. “guess that’s a kids job. to get whatever they want.”

            ‘  OF COURSE not — desperate people cannot afford to be so fickle.   ’   it wasn’t that he cared tremendously about the fact that mona had yet to declare allegiance to the dark lord, but such things could be brought up for the sake of mere amusement. ‘   something a little more international, perhaps? less british, at the very least. but i don’t know what i expected from you, mona, you always SETTLE.   ’    

“you’re an ass. hasn’t anyone told you that school is over yet?” it was ties like this one that left the witch stuck in the middle. neutral ground. no matter how much she denied her belief in such twisted morals, nostalgia left her clinging to the people she grew up with. ensure she could never cross over to the good, not truly. “i do not.” her back straightens then, offence puckering the former slytherins lips. “i would deem following the obvious path to be settling.”

As he listened to her, he couldn’t help but laugh. Just the mental image of the man asking her out on a date and her declining. It was the most hilarious thing and he knew that it must have stung. But he didn’t really care all that much. “Good thing I have all the money I need. That way I don’t have to be approached by men who doesn’t deserve my attention” he shrugged. “Mhm well I have never been into sports either. But I have a feeling he might say yes because it’s you”

“oh, look at you. mr money bags.” she retorts, but there’s a playful lilt to her voice and she’s grinning. hint of pride in her dark eyes that she doesn’t express nearly enough. “doesn’t matter how rich you are though, free stuff is always nice.” mona smirks then, because he’s probably right. she’ll win him around eventually. “i’m sure if i beg. we’ll see. otherwise the logical solution would be to bring someone to make him jealous.”

“Yeah, it’s worth seeing the entire auror division lose their shit when he storms out of his office demanding his stuff.” Thomas smiled ear-to-ear, that had been a good week. Shrugging, he nodded “I guess I gotta start trying not to work my head off.”

“you’re preaching to the wrong crowd. guess that must be auror humour because i’m passing on the pissed off boss.” she comments with a slight smile. her relatively short tenure in an office had left her not wanting to rush back. “sounds like a nice place to start. what about a holiday for the weekend?”

Rosalia raised her perfectly manicured eyebrows at Mona, “What are you implying there, Desdemona?”

“i think it’s pretty obvious what i’m implying.” desdemona rolls her eyes then. “but clearly even that was lost on you.”

   “you can keep pretending you didn’t fancy me in school.. but you’re lying.”  sirius shrugged, his thumb brushing against the back of her hand as he directed them towards the ferris wheel. the only difference between him and that scruffy looking teenager was the tattoos he was covered in. he had a lot more of them now. “–so we’re going back to my place after then?” he grinned, it widening in his usual cheeky manner. “nah, we can do whatever you like for the night. i just know i’m working for the next week non-stop so i’ll not be able to bring you out anywhere for a while so.. consider this date night.”

“maybe you’re just far too confident, you really weren’t my type.” she glances sideways, arching an eyebrow. “don’t worry, i don’t think i was really yours either.” much of her was still the same from school, not all that different spare a few details. it was strange to think how different things would have been had she stayed with her family. this certainly wouldn’t have happened. mona snorts, “if you want to leave i’ll be right behind you. ferris wheel and home sounds ideal.” her brows pull together then, swinging his hand loosely at her side. “all week? so i won’t see you at all?”

         BONE DRY and droll as ever, antonin’s mouth tugs up at the corner as if pulled by a string. ‘   oh, you shouldn’t have. the QUAFFLEPUNCHERS, how could i resist?   ’  calloused digits wrap around the smooth ceramic of the mug, but he has little interest in taking a sip and is far more taken by its warmth.  ‘   tickets to a game, mona, really? if that is all you could get from the poor boy, you’re losing your touch.   ’

dark eyes roll, resting her chin on a propped up fist as she abandons the truly dire coffee. “if you’ve got the time, i’ll happily list every single person who would fall above you. desperation isn’t my colour.” a soft tut falls from her lips. perfectly groomed brow arching, clearly not about to share in the others amusement. “they happen to be my favourite team, dolohov. what would you have considered a successful offer?”

With her hands shoved deep down into the pockets of her knee-length black coat, the raven haired beauty was leaning against the wall as she was observing her surroundings. The night had barely fallen yet the streets of London were completely empty, void of any presence except of hers and perhaps, of some rat or two. Lightly chuckling to herself, she knew it was only the beginning.“My, my, look what the cat dragged in,” she spoke as her eyes had fallen on the other.

the shoot had been long and hardly worth the pay. but beggars could hardly be chooses, especially not when rent was due by the end of the week. rather than apparate, she’d decided to walk the short distance, something she quickly came to regret when another made themselves known. “it’s a little late for pleasantries, windsor.” the last time she’d been caught unawares in the middle night, she’d landed a night in the hospital, she wasn’t keen to make the same mistake. “what’s got you lurking?”

alice groans in disapointment at the other’s words. ‘ ugh- i knew it! of course they’d try to ruin some kind of fun with these kind of tricky charms.’ she shakes her head as she looks at her small plushie then back to the other’s dragon. ‘ nah, i won’t ever compare my charm to yours-surely it’s impossible for me to get one. thanks for telling me though. it was worth a shot.’

“tricks make for more fun if you ask me.” after seeing a grown man blow galleons trying to get the very same prize mona now clutched, you couldn’t help garner satisfaction. desdemona shrugs then, hands twisting the tail of the plush dragon thoughtfully. “you might as well give it a go. who knows, they might have a thing for hufflepuffs.”

Rosalia looked up at Mona, wondering why on earth it looked like she wanted to talk to someone who was recently disowned. “Can I help you?”

a laugh leaves her painted lips, settling on bemused as she arches a finely groomed brow in retaliation. her fall from grace was still a sore subject, but she did so delight in the disgust of former peers. “absolutely not. but should i ever need advice on how to bump off every single man in a four mile radius, i’ll be sure to give you a shout.”

Cocking one of his eyebrows up as he listened to his sister speak, he then sighed. “Men. Sometimes they are just.. so predictable” he said and smirked. “But that also sounds like the most boring date ever. And he thought he would get some fun afterwards? Tragic” he added with a tongue pop, shaking his head as he laughed softly. “So are you gonna take Sirius to the game?”

“terribly so. not that i’d have said yes to anything of course, but a little effort wouldn’t have gone amiss.” her delicate shoulders shift then in a shrug, laying the coffee aside. “i like the idea of seeing a match for a date, they are my favourite team, but he was truly atrocious looking. you should have seen him, laur, sometimes money really isn’t enough.” she quips with an amused smirk. mona shakes her head then, “he doesn’t seem all that into it. i’ll ask but i think it might take some bribery on my part.”

“I’ve currently got three Golden Retrievers but I’ve owned Dobermans before now.” Allen has always looked after dogs - it was practice for looking after Dragons. His parents preferred the dogs to Dragons though. Allen adored all creatures except for Kneazles as they looked a bit evil to him. “Scout here loves her neckerchiefs but Rocket likes anything. I don’t have any fairy wings or tutus in his box though. Just Dragon costumes; more fantasy type to be honest. And each to their own,” though he only recently dabbled in these costumes. It was more Felix’s idea to dress up Rocket; the dog was very compliant when it came to such a hobby.

“three?” another eyebrow raise. “mines some small thing and even that’s enough running around for me.” the dog had been a surprise addition to the household ( she’d never been the caring sort afterall, it’s a wonder her cat from school had lasted as long as it had ), but still a welcome one. most of the time. “i’ll be straight with you,” the french witch was rarely anything but, “dressing up dogs like dolls sounds insanely pointless to me.” of talents she had few. but brutal honesty, if one could call it talent, she was certainly best at.

“Ah, wonder why I didn’t notice this earlier.” Fei could kick herself for not seeing it before. She could be halfway drunk by now. “It sounds like they’re trying their best to keep the people away from the actual truth.”

“that or they just don’t want everyone getting smashed at a ministry branded event.” a ridiculous attempt. they’d just been through war, what person in their right mind wasn’t going to drink to that? “really not that hard to find though. maybe you just need to start bringing your own.”
