out damn spot.

[shakes his head] Christ. Must’ve been mental, all that. [sighs quickly, adjusting his jacket a bit before gripping two branches and hoisting himself up into the tree] Sounds like an adventure, though. It’s just been a bit mental here, really, with the clones and all. [exhales slowly at the mention of Quidditch, thinking about Morag and her injury] Yeah, well, hopefully Krum and Wood can find a spot on one of the teams for you… you missed the try-outs.

[tasminapplebees]

[she makes a face and leans her head down on the tree] I fucking did, didn't I? Well... hopefully they will. I'm the best Chaser. [smiles wide and shrugs a little bit] Do you think they'll let me on the time so late? I have an excuse. I think I can count homeless emergency in my state and clause for why I missed it. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[sassy-rose-brown]

Hey! I’m not that much of a girly girl compared to one of my clones. Hold up, I need to give you the 411 on all my clones so you won’t get confused if you see one of them in the corridor. 

So obviously there’s moi, the super quiet one, the one has the haircut I had two years ago and looks like she’s about to attack you, the super girly girl on that follows Lav everywhere, and the evil brunette one named Magenta.

[tasminapplebees]

So... if I just stick to the super cute quiet one that is you. I'll be fine. Awesome. Well... I love this clone situation. Nothing like fucking clones at Hogwarts to start your morning off. Are there two Harry's? Pretty sure... I saw those running around when I got back. 

Also is there like a super freaky number of these clones now? Like worse than before? This is going to be amazingly difficult... and somehow very interesting. Mmmm.

[antegradum]

Yeah, just a little- out of it, I suppose. I’m never quite myself around Christmas.

[tasminapplebees]

I'm sorry... If it makes you feel better. I'm the same way. Around Christmas and New Years. Can't seem to remember what the fuck happens between that though... [smirks a little at her.] The holidays always get ya down?

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[looniestlovegood]

You’re right, they’re definitely better up close. So, I’d love to come!

[tasminapplebees]

[She points to the forest with a wide smile and smirks at her.] Luna, yeah? You remember me right? I got my latest issue of The Quibbler. It's really good... 

[morag-mac]

-standing on the pitch and trying to toss a Quaffle as her broom lays down at her feet-

[tasminapplebees]

[Tasmin comes out on the field with her hand in her hair. Ruffling it as she looks at the girl on the field.] Hey... Practicing hard or trying your damned to get it in? 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[t-boot]

You’ve got no idea. I told Morag that her mum should start boxing the stuff - they could sell it in Honeyduke’s. [raises his brows] In a minute. Haven’t been climbing in ages; Mo and I used to back in third year, don’t think I have much since. [reaches up and hands her the spliff, scoffing] Mr. McSexQuestionMark? The bloody hell does that mean? The music is… well. I mean, there isn’t much I can do with it while here, but it’s been good. What about you? What’ve you been up to?

[tasminapplebees]

[Tasmin leans on the branches, takes the spliff from him and lays down closing her eyes slowly] Me? Not much really? I've been doing this and that. [takes a pull of the spliff] Parents kicked me out of the house so I've been going to shows and feeding off friends and the seedy underbelly of Manchester as much as I can. Trying to find my way back to Hogwarts and here I am. Had a bit of a boyfriend then I took all his junk. He was only good for cooking anyway. Didn't make me any chocolate. [smirks at him] It's been a hard time but it's been real. Ready to rock the Quidditch field once again. I miss that the most.

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[looniestlovegood]

You should go down to the forest, because I’m pretty sure the thestrals are out today.

[tasminapplebees]

[widens her eyes and smiles a bit] Are they really? I think I'll do that then. Especially seeing how it'll be lovely to watch them up close. 

Would you... uh... wanna join?

[antegradum]

Yeah, just a little- out of it, I suppose. I’m never quite myself around Christmas.

[tasminapplebees]

I know what you mean. I'm never myself around the holidays either. [looks around her face with a small smirk] Have I met you before? I've been spacing out on everyone around here for a while and you look familiar. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[the-goyle-blog]

It’s obviously the last one, although practicing high is not a problem.

[tasminapplebees]

Never a problem. Especially if I turn upside down on my broomstick. Other than that. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[sassy-rose-brown]

[smiles brightly] I must be the luckiest person in the world to have both you and Lav as my older sisters.

Tamsin, it’s so pretty! [takes the ring and slips it on her finger] I promise I’ll keep it forever. I don’t want any of my clones to take it, especially the super girly girl one. 

[tasminapplebees]

[smirks at her and wraps her arm around her] I thought you were the super girly girl one. [kisses the side of her head] It was nothing. I hoped it'd fit you. I was excited to get it for you. 

So... this clone thing is happening, eh? Must be hell for all the newbies and giggles and guys around here. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[t-boot]

Play guitar and steal chocolate at the same time? [laughs] Not unless you know some kind of spell that helps you grow extra appendages, no. And she’d have my head if she found out I was stealing it from her to give away. Though I must say, her mum’s fudge is simply divine. Best I’ve ever had, it is. Hah, thanks. [shakes his head, grinning] And for me, as well. Even if she doesn’t sing.

[tasminapplebees]

Always a plus five when the mum makes some fudge thats out of this world. [looks up at a tree and starts climbing] Coming up? The forest is no good to be in without a good tree climbing adventure. [holds her hand out for the spliff] So besides you looking like Mr. McSexQuestionmark and having a girl with a chocolate fetish of a mum. What's going on with you? How's the music? 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[t-boot]

If you do, I’ll be the first one to cheer for you. [pulls the joint from his lips, holding his breath in a moment before exhaling] Oh, no, she’s got all the chocolate. Her mum sends her homemade fudge - I can sneak a bit every once in a while, but that’s her stash. Can’t get anywhere near it. I’m just around to serenade her every once in a while, really.

[tasminapplebees]

Can you... serenade her while you reach into the stash and get me some chocolate? Seriously. I'm debating in my head if I still want to be your mate or not. [smirks a little] Nah. I'm happy for you. Fucking cheers. Not a lot of people can find someone to fucking serenade them to sleep at night. Jackpot for her, huh?

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[sassy-rose-brown]

My parents have completely freaked out over the clones situation because the Ministry has been complete shite in finding answers so they think we’ll somehow be safer at Beauxbatons. [lowers her voice slightly] Don’t worry, Lav and I are figuring a way out of it. She doesn’t want to leave Ron behind and I don’t want to you and the rest of my friends behind.

Oh oh! What is it?

[tasminapplebees]

[she looks around her face and pushes a piece of hair in the back of her ear.] If someones fucking with you in anyway. Guess who they'll be fucking with instead. [makes a face and points to herself] No one messes with my Rosepie. 

Oh... Here. I'm wearing it. [takes a ring off her finger with a little yellow rose and hands it to her.] Matches your hair and our colors. All for you... I figured if I saw you around campus I didn't wanna leave it behind. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[t-boot]

Well, I’d certainly hope so. Morag says I’m a hopeless romantic. At least she finds it endearing, as she’s the one putting up with me. [smiles, taking the joint from her and resting it between his lips] What an entitled bastard, he is, eh? Must be a hard life. Though I don’t know how much he’s actually getting, considering he’s spent more time gossiping about other people’s sex lives than doing anything on his own.

[tasminapplebees]

Really now? What a gossipy twit. It'll come back to him. Karma's pretty much a cunt to the letter or the law. I just remember playing him in Quidditch and he was absolutely a thing... Not even an object. I hope he's getting some, maybe I'll be able to knock him off his broomstick. [runs her hand in her hair with a smile when he mentions Morag.] Lucky lady. If you don't feet her chocolates at least once in everyday. You are missing the point guy. And... if you have chocolate on you now. I will gladly take one. Or all. Whichever you prefer. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[t-boot]

[scoffs] I’m hardly a stud; I don’t walk around here expecting to shag half the school like McLaggen does. Though, if I looked like him, I suppose I’d expect all the girls to want to shag me, as well. [shrugs] Thanks?

[tasminapplebees]

[thinks for a second] Well... If I remember. You're still a sweetheart. So... claim your rightful place. [blows smoke out slowly, handing it to him.] I'd also be expected to shag as many people if I looked like McLaggen as well. Damn you, impossible dreams. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[sassy-rose-brown]

Don’t worry about the party, Lav did an amazing job setting it up but then everyone got pissed drunk like at another other party. I got so many presents though that it might as well be a national holiday.

Other than O.W.L.s sucking dragon eggs, I’m not going to have a Hogwarts life after this year. My parents want to ship Lav and me and all our clones off to France.

[tasminapplebees]

Uh... I just got back. So you're not getting shipped off anywhere til you linger your fucking time with me forever. Why do they wanna ship you off to France? All you'll do is drink wine, bone people and smoke a bunch of black cigarettes. 

Actually... everyone should go to France... 

I got you a present anyway since you have another mall probably in your closet. Small but I thought a lot about it since... I fucking adore you and I'd never fucking skip your epicness of a sweet 16. 

[tasminapplebees]

decisions, decisions.

[t-boot]

It’s Boot. Terry Boot. [grins, not at all offended by the slip-up] ‘Course they are. I’m surprised the eyes didn’t give it away. My girlfriend says they’re still the same saucer eyes I’ve had since second year. [hands the joint back to her]

[tasminapplebees]

I really need to pay attention more. [takes the spliff back and puts it between her lips] Girlfriend, eh? Look at your stud on campus. She better treat you right. Can't let that face go to waste. [takes a pull and flicks it to the side]
