volatile.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I really don't even think I'm ready to attend classes again.

[damien-carmichael]

… You don’t have to apologize. You were right to choose Tarquin over me. I just … have really bad timing, I guess.

[rohooch-blog]

No, I wasn't. If I was so right, we'd still be together.

Tarquin and I... we weren't right for each other. We were better off as friends. And I'm not saying that you and I had this magical romantic relationship ahead of us if things had went ahead the way they were possibly going, but I do know that I really liked you and I regret being too apprehensive to see where things went. I headed with the safer route, and I know now that it was wrong.

Can you please go away?

[sturgiepod]

I’m trying to cut back on my drinking, but I’ll take a cigarette

[rohooch-blog]

Alright. [pulls out the pack from her robes pocket and hands a cigarette to him before taking out her own and putting it between her lips, using her wand to tap it and mumble, almost incoherently, a spell to light it]

You wanna know something? Everyone's still talking about that big match of yours against Slytherin. It was the first thing I heard when I got back. Said that you and Karoonda played great, as per usual, and that you guys won, and that Regulus Black faked an injury to distract Bones. I heard other things, too, but that one seemed the most likely to me.

"There’s no rule that says Gryffindors can’t enjoy reading. And I’ve got more fire than most of the students in our tower. I am, after all, a Bell, and I bleed crimson and gold."

[rohooch-blog]

"Good point. Shockingly enough, I'd forgotten all about those huge, burly bodyguards of brothers that you've got. Honestly, I don't know how you do it. If I had that many guys looking out for me at one time, I'd go crazy."

[rohooch-blog]

I really don't even think I'm ready to attend classes again.

[damien-carmichael]

Heh. Yeah, well … I’m over it.

[rohooch-blog]

Right. Of course. I mean, I wasn't expecting you to sit around and mope about it for this long. I just wanted you to know that I was sorry. That I am sorry.

[sturgiepod]

Can you please go away?

[sturgiepod]

Sorry, Hooch I just need to be alone

[rohooch-blog]

I'd leave you alone, but my conscience is nagging me and telling me not to leave you alone like this. I'd ask if you want to talk about it, but I'm not all that good at talking about feelings or anything like that. I can, however, offer firewhiskey or a cigarette or two.

[zamiragulch]

Okay, new plan.

I’m not going to sit through this detention and polish all these vials and instead I’m gonna go have a smoke outside. Wanna come with?

[rohooch-blog]

Yeah, I guess so. Only if you're providing the cigarettes, though. My stash is running low.

"For fun, I’m rather enjoying the book. The name is a bit bland, but it was written in the 1500s."

[rohooch-blog]

"Just for fun, huh? That's interesting. You're acting more like a Ravenclaw than a Gryffindor, but I bet you've still got that fire that most of us have."

[rohooch-blog]

I really don't even think I'm ready to attend classes again.

[damien-carmichael]

Um, okay I guess … uh, how have you been?

[rohooch-blog]

Well, you know me. As long as I'm on a broom once a day, I'm fine.

Listen, about Tarquin, and us... I never meant for it to end the way it did. I never meant to hurt you.

[rohooch-blog]

If I hear one more person give me shit about smoking,

I might just lose it.

[alioninthemirror-blog]

"Hold that thought, I just need to finish this page."

Kayla looks up, “Sorry, what can I help you with?”

[rohooch-blog]

Just wondering if you're reading that for class or if you're reading that for fun. Seems to be pretty boring to me by the title. No offence.

[sturgiepod]

Can you please go away?

I’m really not in the mood right now

[rohooch-blog]

Well, fuck, Podmore. Sorry for being such a bother.

[rohooch-blog]

I really don't even think I'm ready to attend classes again.

[damien-carmichael]

Er, should I not be?

[rohooch-blog]

No, it's not that. I was just surprised that you'd even want to talk to me after the way things ended. Not that they ever really began, technically, but--

Er, never mind. How have you been?

[rcmanholiday]

[tabitha-meadowes]

Oh. Um, thanks for the tip. I just … it’s a new brush.

[rohooch-blog]

... You obsessively brush your hair every time you buy a new brush?

Shit, sorry. That was rude of me. Ignore that.

[rohooch-blog]

I really don't even think I'm ready to attend classes again.

[damien-carmichael]

Typical.

[rohooch-blog]

Oh. You're actually talking to me.
