Prompt 7 - Restlessly

@jegulus-microfic September 7, Word count 432

Previous part First part

Regulus seemed kind of stunned by James’s home when they first arrived. He stood staring up at the picturesque house. “Reg, love?” James nudged him with his elbow, and Regulus snapped back into the present. 

“Sorry,” he mumbled and tried to pick up his trunk. 

“Hilly will get them,” he said, pointing at the little house elf who had just popped into view. 

“Master James, Master James!” She cried, barrelling into his legs and wrapping her thin arms around him. “Master James is being home. Oh, Hilly is so happy. Hilly made all of Master James’s favourites for dinner. Come, come, Hilly has tea all ready,” the little elf snapped her fingers, and their trunks and things vanished. 

James finds himself being squashed into the loveseat by his dad, who then urges Regulus forward as well. Hilly hands them cups and saucers and balances tiny plates with thick wedges of cake on their laps. James glanced at Regulus out of the corner of his eye, and he still seemed to be in shock. 

“Come on then, what’s the plan?” Effie asks, tilting her delicate cup to her lips and taking a sip. James’s leg starts to restlessly jiggle as he takes a nervous sip of his tea. 

“I’m not sure what you mean?” Regulus says politely. That sly, all-knowing look his mum sometimes gets passed across her face, and James knew she knew. 

“We’re all meeting outside Grimmauld Place in a week, and Regulus is going to use the cloak to get Sirius out as the wards will let him in,” James suddenly gushed, nearly upsetting his cake. Regulus turned and looked at him with his mouth agape. James winced and couldn’t look at him. 

“And how exactly did you expect to get there and back?” she asked. 

“Brooms,” James blurted out. He caught Regulus sniffing his tea. 

“Don’t worry, lad, there isn’t any Veritaserum in your tea. Effie figured it out, and James knows it’s easier just to tell the truth,” Monty said when he spotted what Regulus was doing. A flash of worry crossed Effie’s face, and she got up and went to crouch in front of Regulus. She reached up and took his hands in hers and told him.

“Darling, we would never do that to anyone. I know about the rescue because I was trying to figure out my own way to rescue Sirius.” Regulus stared into Effie’s eyes for a second and then took a sip of his tea. The smile Effie gave him filled James’s heart with warmth. He bragged about his mum for a reason.

Bad Luck

Sitting in the disproportionate

Waves of grief you left me

To deal with darkness dimming

Every last ounce of purity

Straight from my chest

While the monsters creep

Up my spine

They are tearing it out in front

While you cross your arms and watch

I almost won my battle

Wanted to be strong

But the truth is I'm the pretender

I was the scared one all along.

Couldn't get through to you

Really tried my best

But in the game of life

I don't resurface

Not even float to second best

Watch them kick me down

You can see it on a screen

I made mistakes

Playinging in your land

Of made up make believe

Your war goes on forever

Contining the loop

If you'd learn to jump for me

I'd be the parachute

Your circle cuts the rope around my neck like a noose

Ready to pin you at the end while they can all play pretend

That they aren't the ones who lit the match to run their roost

But maybe when I'm gone

The world will finally see

How hard I went to try and save them

Just by being me

But I was all alone

Love refused to hear me scream

Cut off connection like opposite ET.

You want to know why its sinking, the sailing ship you made

Because in place of a heart you took the accolades

When you took the wheels of the track

There was no real way to get it back

You're midnight to daylight

Lost in a daydream

Lied to on lillies with sweet salted cream

Being distracted by falsity sweet sugars, blueberries supreme

Eating in numbers, count calories

If you don't remember

Wake up in time

Everyone will see them

Take the light from your life

You wanted a circus

I'm a sideshow at best

You were a clown false made king

Who does nothing but hate

You wanted to see me hurt

Watch me suffer in pain

Are you laughing now seeing me

Wither slowly away

Is this what you wanted?

Just another pawn to discard

Used and abused waiting for solace gullible to play in rain

You pray I don't know pain

Honey you're holding the mirror

Cut me with the shards but still your vision isn't any clearer

You think I want your money

I really have to laugh

Who wants cursed gold

Ripped from pirates chests

So instead you strap me down

Cannon to my breast

When you get red angry

Its just a cut above the rest

You threw me in the ocean

Left me there to drown

While you're the one who walked away

Never to turn around

You'll never know truth

What I would miss

The thing I was craving

Would be....

Time for Tea

[teatime-tangents-and-toys]

Because I'm some concerning level of "commit to the bit" invested, my Living Dead Dolls Series 23 review series featured full personalized tea servings for each doll in the tea party, with digitally-designed menus and actual real teas to photograph and consume during the review session! I put a lot of thought into the themed teas and table settings per esch character. Brief review with links to each original post because I want you to read this deranged labor of love:

Agatha: More bitter than I like my Earl Grey; the loose tea leaves were as unpleasant as I expected

Betsy: Actually very tasty

Teddy: The tea was okay but the scone was a nightmare and a punishment to finish and I spilled a lot of honey earlier so I was Not In A Good Mood while Consuming

Atrocious Name Alert!!!

Jennocide: Possibly my favorite tea serving and concept, though the biscuits didn't match the tea in taste as well as they did in the joke

Quack: Shockingly not as nasty as I anticipated for something so deliberately bizarre and off-putting The mushroom slices were, of course, horrible, but the peppermint improved the chamomile significantly
