Dates.
Sitting at the table by the window, Nat was trying her absolute hardest not to fall asleep and faceplate her coffee. This was the 5th terrible date she had been on since Sky had decided that Nat need to get herself out their.
And it was like these men wanted to bore her to death! Talking about their owls sleeping patterns or the matters concerning their great-aunts will and the family feud it was causing. Sky said she was being nitpicky, and maybe she was, but there was no way she was ever going on a second date with this man, a worker from Gringotts. He was good looking, sure, but he only talked about himself, and how much value a self assured man could bring to the work place.
No, this man could go on the growing list of unsuccessful dates.
Pretend you’re me and write me an “About Me”.
It's a vino sort of night... anyone keen?
I think its official. I hate Healing.
Sorry. Am I boring you?
No, I just can't think of what to say.
Obviously.
*wrinkles up nose, raising her eyebrows* Yeah, sure. I’ll try my best.
They obviously don't know any better.
*looks at her for a few seconds, then smiles* If only more people thought like that.
Most people have no tact and like to stick their noses in other peoples business. Don't judge them for it.
I don’t know. *shrugs* People have done it before.
We don't know each other, so if I decided that I should 'lecture' you on something that is clearly not my business, then I would be overstepping social boundaries by a mile.
Yeah, pretty much.
You’re not going to give me some bullshit motivational speech about how I should branch, out and join the Potter-Weasley clan, and have happy adventures frolicking in meadows?
Why would I do that?
Figured it was best to keep my distance. *shrugs*
Are the the same with all your extended family?
*bites her lip* Yeah, yeah. I guess mine’s kind of all I have too.
I don’t think he knows I exist. He and my Dad… sort of don’t get on much.
He comes up to school sometimes, I'm surprised you haven't met him then.
Is that a good or a bad thing? D’you like your Dad?
*shrugs* I figure Uncle Harry’s a bit too personal since we’ve never actually met, but anything else seems too formal.
I love Da. He's sort of all I've got.
Suit your self. -Hint of a smile.- Weird how you've never met him. He's very nice if thats what you are worried about.
I don’t, it was my Dad. He was.. a fan of the Boy who Lived, I think. Not so much any more, but he called me Harry until I was old enough I wouldn’t be able to get used to anything else. *shrugs*
-Smiling for the first time.- Snap! I shorten my name because of my Dad too.
-Furrowing her brow, curiously.- Why don't you call him Harry Potter? Or Mr Potter? Like everyone else?
*raises hands defensively* Alright, alright. Just a question, honey.
So, Harry... why do you choose to shorten your long and effeminate name?
Friendly Favors. || Nat and Sky.
"I don’t see why I have to do this."
"I said before, you don’t have too, but it would be the right thing to do."
Surveying her blonde friend with an exasperated look, Sky dramatically sighed in Nats face. She had invited Nat over to help her unpack as a distraction for the girl, something to take her mind off recent events, and all had been going well. That was until Nat started talking about this wretched blind date.
"Why would you even tell this ‘Mystery Man’ that you had a date for him without asking me. What if I wasn’t free?"
"Oh, but I knew you were going to be, because you’d said I could come over any night this week and help you, and one night off setting up your flat can’t hurt you."
"That was for you Nat, I wanted to spend time with you, not some guy, who, you might like to know, I am not looking for, I am perfectly happy by myself thank you very much. You know that, you have always known that."
"Whats wrong with a little change? There is nothing wrong with relationships."
"Relationships, as you well know Natalie, are messy things that have too many feelings involved, feelings I can live without. I would much rather a- , how do I put this… a quick, mutual exchange of favours."
The silence from Nats approximate area had Sky realise she might have gone a bit far. Nat had only broken up with who she swore was the love of her life less than a month ago, and emotions were still raw. This was one of the first days Sky had seen her friend with out red rimmed and purple bagged eyes. Time for a hasty retreat.
"Whats the boys name anyway?"
Nats answer came with a large overtone of false cheeriness. Well done Sky, you have officially managed to make Nat slip back into dangerous territory.
"I can’t tell you that Sky, it wouldn’t be a blind date anymore."
"Urgh, fine spoil sport."
"So, yes or no, are you going to go?"
