magic and proud

Raven Darkholme. 24. Alchemy TA. I used to be a Gryffindor.

(hesitates) Yes, they are.

You can tell me, Morgana. I have them too.

Patience is a virtue. And you can always work on getting better with it.

I’m all ears. I believe you’ll do brilliantly. 

[ravendarkholne]

I could, but I lack the patience to work on my patience. Ironic, isn't it?

Alright, so, about this time last year Erik, Charles, and I were in The Three Broomsticks trying to calm Erik down. He was panicking because the school reports were due at the end of the week and he'd barely even started; Charles had already finished all of his of course. I wanted to cheer him up so I went into the bathroom round the back and disguised myself as Mycroft. Then I went through the front door and started shouting at Erik, "You have hundreds of school reports due and you're sat here drinking!" He was scared out of his life but before I could change back and tell him he ran out of there and finished them all that night. Erik was so grumpy when we told him it was me.

Once you sit through the complaining he starts to talk about other really interesting things. The headless hunt story is hilarious though.

Well then, if you really are the finest company I’ll need stories to prove it. 

[ravendarkholne]

I don't think I have enough patience for that. But good on you for listening.

Charles is the story-teller. Um, I suppose I could tell you about the time I pranked Erik?

[the-slytherin-fairy]

It doesn’t really matter. Just…dreams.

[ravendarkholne]

Are they more like nightmares?

[eliasmithh-deactivated20140912]

Even the weirdest ghosts have interesting stories. Besides I think that the quirks made them even better to talk to. Have you listened to any of headless Nick’s stories? That man had an astoundingly wild life. 

Peeves…well, it’s Peeves. And now I’m talking to you, would you deem yourself better company?

[ravendarkholne]

I'm sure he did, but the only story I seem to hear from him is his constant complaining that he's still not in The Headless Hunt.

I am the finest company you could possibly get, so yes.

What are you, the TA police? To answer your question: no.

[ravendarkholne]

If there was a TA Police I would be the last person to be a part of it. They'd probably arrest me first actually.

Why're you up then?

[the-slytherin-fairy]

Oh, nothing. Just thinking about the trip I’ll be taking soon with Gwen, I suppose.

[ravendarkholne]

Listen, I know Charles is the mind-reader but I know a lie when I see one. What's really on your mind?

[eliasmithh-deactivated20140912]

Hello!

It is a little late, but sometimes I like to walk around at night and talk to the ghosts in the castle. They’re quite interesting you know. 

[ravendarkholne]

Yeah, real interesting. A couple of drunks, a headless nut and a silent mourner with anger issues. Not to mention all the other weirdos, and then there's Jeeves. If I were you I'd get some better company.

[the-slytherin-fairy]

Perhaps, but I couldn’t sleep and I thought a walk might clear my head a bit.

[ravendarkholne]

Walks are good for that. What's on your mind?

[groovyheterochromias-blog]

I’m having trouble getting to sleep. Isn’t a little late for you to be wandering around as well? 

[ravendarkholne]

You always have trouble getting to sleep, it's why I worry about you so much.

No, I'm an adult. And last time I checked I've never actually had a bedtime, except that once when you tried to force one on me. 

[ravendarkholne]

Hey!

A little late to be wondering around, isn't it?
