Yeah, yeah, I’m fine, just— I just know a lot of people who are getting involved in serious relationships right now and that’s sort of concerning, don’t you think? That’s a lot for me to keep track of, and what if they need help or advice? I don’t know what to do. Do you? In romantic relationships, I mean.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Oh, right okay. You don't need to know what to do in a relationship to be able to help them. You've gotta've read one crappy romance novel in your life, right? What'd that teach you?

Uh, romantic relations, not exactly. Just treat her right. Take her out to dinner ow and then, don't be scared to tell her how you feel, all that mushy shit. 

[lolamxrcado]

I hate to be the barer of bad news you know but I would say there is a very strong chance that is true. They’re utter menaces. They don’t care for other people’s feelings. They’re vicious.

Oh no… Well hey, just think of it like a life lesson. Now you’ll know not to go pursuing anything of the feline nature again. Plus, it was a valiant effort so I’m sure whoever’s cat it is will appreciate that part, right?

[pxdfootblack-blog]

You're telling me, that thing was three and a half seconds away from taking my eyes out. I'm uh... more of a dog person anyway.

Life lessons with Frank. You should make that a thing. I mean, she didn't necessarily show it, but I damn well hope so. She was probably just happy to have her cat back.

[silentmacdonald-deactivated2015]

Afraid so. But here’s a water bottle      was it worth it?

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Thanks. Nope not even slightly. Girl didn't even bother giving me a name, let alone a hug for it, and let me tell you. I have been scratched in places I didn't even know you could get scratched. 

[emmeline--v-blog]

Do I want to ask what the other two are, or will my delicate sensibilities be offended?

Here’s the thing, Sirius. I’d rather not just be a good catch for some heir to a fortune. I’m aiming to be useful, to do something besides sit around a mansion and be a little socialite. I’m just bloody lucky my parents don’t believe in arranged marriages…. Do you think they would? I’d hate to bother them, they’ve got stuff to do….

[pxdfootblack-blog]

...I don't want to know what you're thinking, Em. I don't. Sex and affection, that's it.

Are you kidding? 'Course they would. I'd have thought you were against all that, though, like "women in the kitchen" sort of thing. Still, if you went to them they'd probably show you. They're nothing of not nice like that. 

[im--alexander-grantham]

I hardly care if you found the creature or not, but it is always amusing to see a lion so bruised and battered. 

[pxdfootblack-blog]

That is, without a doubt, the most sadistic thing I've ever heard.

[emmeline--v-blog]

So easy to please!

I think she made them? The note didn’t say so, but she’s a good baker. I can’t believe that out of all of us, Rosie’s the only one with any talent in Muggle cooking. It’s hardly fair. I’ll be sure to tell her you said so when I write back, she’ll be pleased!

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Sweet'eart, food is one of the only three things need from life. 

Aw, come on, you don't need to know how to cook anyway. You're a right catch! I'm sure the house elves'd teach you if you asked nicely enough though. 

[lolamxrcado]

Okay but Sirius… Get this. Cats are evil. This cat isn’t lost. It’s toying with you. It’s playing you. I can’t stand by and watch this happen to yet another good man. You are a human yarn ball right now. It’s just not right.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

You mean to tell me that I just spent the last three hours running around this entire fucking castle for that stupid creature's bloody amusement?

But-... but she was-... fuck everything. This is what I get for getting out of bed today.

[im--alexander-grantham]

She must have been truly beautiful to inspire such… dedicated service.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Oh fuck off, Grantham. I found the pissing thing, didn't I?

I hope you appreciate that I'm probably gonna need surgery after this.

[black-heart-narcissa]

It’s so wonderful to see that chivalry isn’t dead……. even if it is a little sweaty.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

I'm glad you're amused, meanwhile I'm about two steps away from ejecting my lungs.

[courageous-carter]

Wow. That’s, um— that’s a really serious thing. To feel that way about somebody, I mean. Are freaking out? ‘Cause I’m— I’m kinda freaking out a little bit.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

I mean, it's complicated. Merlin, I feel thirty years old saying that... Freaking out? Sometimes I do, I think to myself- you're literally not even in your twenties yet what the hell are you doing, but then...

Wait, why are you freaking out? Don't uh... dude, don't- you don't need to yeah? It's-... shit, are you okay?

[silentmacdonald-deactivated2015]

You look like you need some water.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Am I really that transparent?

Water... water would be lovely.

[j-flint]

I can’t argue with that, but she’s pretty hot, isn’t she? Don’t tell her sister I said that. We don’t talk, but she’s still my fianceé, I suppose. Like fuck she would — she’s done worse, Bellatrix. I’ve learned to be extra careful when she’s near.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Flint, she's my cousin, fucking hell. I don't talk to them anyway, couldn't if I tried, but give me some credit. I'm not that much of an ass-hat. I know she has, she'd probably throw someone off the astronomy tower given half the chance.

[emmeline--v-blog]

Here you go, then. Aww, I’m your favorite? I’m flattered, Sirius, that’s stiff competition.

They really are good. Carter said they were “orgasmic”, but I think that’s giving them a bit too much credit.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

'Course you are. You feed me!

My God. Did you say your sister made these? They're bloody gorgeous! 

[courageous-carter]

Yeah. Yeah, that’s true. And Gryffindors always stick together, right?

I’ve heard a little about it, but I try not to pay much attention to rumors. People can be really… Well, they just say a lot of not nice things. Do you still love her? The girl who might be your happily-ever-after, I mean.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

'Course we do! Still, if you don't want to say, I really don't mind that much,

No yeah, that's fair enough. I try to stay away from it too, but most of them seem to involve me, so it's hard. Love her? Who said I ever-... 

Yeah, I do.

[j-flint]

Wow Sirius, that hurt, right there. Really, I have feelings too, y’know. I think you mean mis-understood. Jeez, man, cut your cousin some slack, she’ll have you hanging from your balls if she heard you.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

I just don't know what there is to misunderstand. Maybe you know her better than I do, but her motives have always screamed 'lunatic' to me. Merlin, don't say that... Fuck, you know it hurts just thinking about it? Worst thing is she fucking would as well.

[emmeline--v-blog]

Oh! Um, chocolate with raspberry frosting. Do you want one? She sent me far too many.

[pxdfootblack-blog]

Em, this is why you're my favourite. I'd love one!

[pxdfootblack-blog]

This... is the last time... I help a hot girl... find her cat.
