the world turned upside down

girls rule boys drool Romy Sterling - 22 - Ravenclaw “It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.”

Fair enough. I don’t think even my grandparents would live in Diagon Alley if it weren’t for the fact that leaving a load of magical creatures overnight with nobody there at all could be risky. Otherwise none of us wanted to be that close to the shop. Though, again that might just be not wanting to live in London.

More people go to the beach to get out of the city, even though that doesn’t really make sense because it ends up just as busy. Maybe now people have forgotten all the history behind Hogsmeade and just don’t want to go to somewhere they spent so many of their weekends as a teenager.

[romysterling-blog]

A bit of me misses living in London. It was nice to be so close to everything, but it gets a bit much at times. If I understood how people thought I’d be- I’d be a different person.

Anyway, whiskey. Give me half a sec and make yourself comfortable.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

Oh, okay. I didn’t know whether your brother lived up here, too, or something. And I suppose Hogsmeade isn’t a top traveller destination so much? At least you don’t have to deal with noisy neighbours like that. That’s why I could never live in a city.

[romysterling-blog]

Uh- no. He could but he says he doesn’t like to mix business and pleasure. It’s probably better not having him here anyway.

Nah yeah, it’s pretty quiet. We fill up sometimes if there are big events at Hogwarts, otherwise it’s calm. Honestly I’d think that’d be a bigger draw for people you know? Getting out of the city. I think we’re just not quite isolated enough for some people. It is better than the city though.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

Is it just you living up here?

[romysterling-blog]

Yeah. There are a few rooms too, but they’re empty right now. My flat’s just mine, anyway.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

That sounds like my sort of place, then.

[romysterling-blog]

Colloportus. Charm. Charm. 

C’mon.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

Oh, right, yeah, last calls means closing time. Oops. To yours? Is there more whiskey up there?

[romysterling-blog]

Yes, and plenty of it. I’m well stocked.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

I don’t know, some people would definitely try hard enough to make sure they could.

[romysterling-blog]

Yes, incredibly annoying people.

But um- I’ve gotta kick everyone out in a hot sec. If you want to stick around we could head up to my place.

[ulyssavan-blog]

Stole is a strong word for it. 

[romysterling-blog]

It sounds exactly like what it is.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

I can understand that. There’s a lot of annoying people everywhere. It seems very difficult to avoid them. I’d suggest Langlock but that would make it hard for them to drink your booze.

[romysterling-blog]

I’ve considered it, but... yeah... could be a problem. They can’t talk while they’re drinking.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

Thanks. What just not the right people asking for recipes or is it more complicated than that?

[romysterling-blog]

A lot of annoying people come in here.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

Ah, okay, that makes sense. At least if it’s theoretical, that means there’s nobody who is that annoying to have around for you to want to get rid of them. Thanks.

[romysterling-blog]

Oh there are plenty of people I want to get rid of.

Here.

[bonesoftessa-blog]

Don’t be so silly, there is no way he can stand on one leg. 

[romysterling-blog]

I’m still going to need a little more convincing. You’re not going to be apparating home like this, are you?

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

That’s really sneaky that. How do you know they won’t go and post it online? Yeah. On the rocks, please.

[romysterling-blog]

Well it’s sort of more theoretical. I talk a lot of talk but I’m very bad at walking the walk.

Coming right up.

[ulyssavan-blog]

They were in the back of some car, I think. And the man taking them didn’t seem nice, he said he found them in an alley and was going off somewhere with them. I don’t know if it was a zoo or something like that. But I couldn’t let them go.

[romysterling-blog]

You stole a dog? Dogs!

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

You are my favourite barkeeper ever, have I told you that before? Yes! They are amazing. I’d say I need the recipe, but I suppose you’re not going to give me that?

[romysterling-blog]

Secret. Sorry. I only give out recipes to customers I don’t like so they won’t come back. You said another whiskey?

[ulyssavan-blog]

[romysterling-blog]

Oh my god. Those are adorable.

[bonesoftessa-blog]

But look, I can still stand on one leg. 

[romysterling-blog]

That’s impressive, but if I bend the rules for you old Mr. Creepyface in the corner’s gonna want more too.

[gardenoffrazer-blog]

Oh, but I was really distracted about how amazing these cauliflower bites and guac potato skins are. Another whiskey to wash them down would just make it perfect.

[romysterling-blog]

Well usually I don’t fall for that, but okay. One more.

You really like them?
