@justinpuff:

Glad to help out. I don’t really think dating is my kind of thing.

Look at you, breaking the Badger mold, ex-husband. I thought your house was the one full of the school’s hopeless romantics. Well...aside from Hugo.

TEXT ✉  GUSTIN

Justin: You don’t have to do the work… Just supervise! And boss me around.

Gracie: I love bossing people around, but supervising makes it sound like I have to be all responsible! Have you ever known me to be responsible, ex-husband? :-p

[Text]: So how are we going to celebrate after you slaughter Slytherin?

[Text]: I don’t know, J, you tell me. I mean, I’m going to be the winner here, shouldn’t I be the one showered in love and adoration? I shouldn’t have to do all the work :-p

[graciesgotwood]

[Text]: Have you ever had a day that starts out bad but then turns out like really good? And then wake up the next morning and remember you might die?

[text]: Nope, never. All my days have me in them, therefor they’re all awesome :-p[text]: What’s up with you, Diamond? Spill it.

PM: Becca, can you please explain to me how writers can get published with horrible mistakes in their books like forgetting the eye color of the main character? I'm very upset about this.

PM: Oh my Merlin, what have you been reading that had this happen? PM: It’s quite simple, really. The author can either forget, or they can just mistype while they’re sleepy or tired, and then when the book goes off to get published, it goes through an acquisitions editor, a substantive editor, a copyeditor, and a proofreader who all ALSO miss the mistake and let it go to print.

[TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: As much as I regret what happened while I was under the love potion, Kels, I guess it could have been worse. Imagine if I’d fake married Olly! Do you think it makes it less special when you get married for real someday that you’ve already done it, sort of?[TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: Oh my Merlin, I am so sorry….

4. For a text asking for a favor

[TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: Hi Justin! There’s this great book that I’ve been really wanting Leo to read, but every time I try to give it to him, he makes faces at me for trying to pull a ‘book fairy’ on him. Could I maybe get you to read it in the common room (or even just pretend to read it?) so that Leo will think it’s more interesting and finally give it a try?

9. For a long barrage of texts

[TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: Why is the Joker so rude? I’ve never actually had to deal with him pestering me before, but today he decided it was time to start.[TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: I thought peacefully reading in the hallways got me immunity![TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: He stole my book and threw it in a water fountain![TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: That was my favorite copy of Anna Karenina![TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: It was the one with the rough-edged pages that make it easier to turn; that’s really useful for books that long![TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: I think it’s really just recycled materials and it was close to being worn out anyway, but still! [TEXT TO JUSTIN 🔶]: Does he terrorize Hufflepuffs too? You’re all so nice, except for maybe Emily MacDonald.

3. For a text meant for someone else

[TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: Sorry, Pucey, I guess you’re just going to have to settle for being my second ex-husband now. It’s better than me firing you from the job completely, right? At least this one didn’t happen while I was famous :-p

4. For a text asking for a favor

[TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: Can you like... maybe stay up one night and record whether or not Hugo snores or not? Or at least be a witness willing to testify on the matter? Because Hugo swears those rumors aren’t true and that it’s all Ryder’s fault,

Do you know Clara? Do you like her? She’s been really sad ever since Hunter died, I’m trying to like... I don’t know, find her a nice guy or something. 

7. For a fearful text

[TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: Do you think whoever I marry whenever I’m a pro Quidditch player will actually make me try to change my name? Because what if I change my name halfway through my career and suddenly people forget about me, or half my career with one name and half my career with the other isn’t enough for me to be a legend? I EITHER NEED TO GET MARRIED NOW OR NEVER, THIS NAME CHANGING THING COULD RUIN MY LIFE.

Merlin, Muggles really need magic to improve their shit. [TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: WHY DOES THE VAMPIRE SLAYER KEEP FALLING IN LOVE WITH VAMPIRES? IT’S NOT ROMANTIC.[TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: They’re like 100 years old. 500. They’re really freaking old. She’s practically a child![TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: Although her one human boyfriend was LITERALLY the worst, so maybe that’s why they put her with vampires instead.[TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: I feel so lied to. This show was so overhyped.[TEXT TO EX-HUSBAND]: You’re a Muggleborn, tell me something I can watch that won’t disappoint me.

WEDDING BELL BLUES → LOVE POTION PROMPT

TAGGING → Gracie Wood & Justin Diamond (@intheskywithdiamond), mentions of Isabel Nott (@slytherisabelin)

TIMELINE → Tuesday, February 9, 2024

SETTING → Hogwarts Grounds

SUMMARY → Gracie and Justin get “married” while under the influence of the love potion. Written for aghprompt28.

GRACIE: 

The last twenty-four hours was a whirlwind, but only one word seemed to matter to Gracie Wood anymore -- love. Love, love love, lovelove love love love love. It was all that was on her mind; she’d even temporarily forgotten about Quidditch, although she didn’t have practice again until Thursday, so she had time to adjust to her newfound feelings before it came time to hit the pitch again. For now, though, she was happy in her whirlwind... and even happier about the fact that she was about to get married to the love of her life, Justin Diamond. Life was short, so why wait? 

She’d begged Dom for a dress, she’d pleaded with Hugo to walk her down the aisle, and she’d secured Isabel Nott as their minister. That preppy Ravenclaw dude, Fawcett or whatever his name was, was even taking pictures to commemorate her special event Now all Gracie had to do was wait for the ceremony to begin. Sure, it was small, and thrown together at the last minute, but everything about it felt right, and she couldn’t wait to hear the music play so she could walk down the makeshift aisle to meet her broom. She stood, holding her flower bouquet, tugging at her dress, and listening for her cue, her heart thumping in her chest every time she thought of Justin standing at the other end of the aisle waiting for her.
