Our baby is no longer a baby!

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Kiss you? What? No. I would never! Anyway, I don’t think my boyfriend would much like me kissing girls at parties - friends or not! Same goes for you, Agnes. I think we’re both lucky friends, then! 

You don’t sound awful at all. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating freedom! I do, too. 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Boyfriend? Oh, you have a boyfriend? What's his name? Do I know him? Sorry, I get too excited. Now I know why you were so happy, huh?

Well, most people would miss their families, but I don't... Sounds like I want to murder them, but I don't, I just don't like being around them.

[ontheedgecombe-deactivated20141]

See! It’s not so hard. Now just do that everyday when you wake up and you’ll realize how wonderful you are.

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Okay, I'll try. I'll owl you if I see any difference. Thank you.

[gretacheese]

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[gretacheese]

You like my hair because I’m not a guy! I love your hair, too. The color is so great. I bet I can get us tickets to his next match. I can ask him. Oh, the Gryffindor team wasn’t too fond of Ed. Mostly because Edgar knocked James Potter off his broom. It was funny, in my opinion. We’ll have to practice someday. Make Ed proud and all that.

He did! And I couldn’t be happier. I said it back. This feels so great to finally be able to tell someone. Thank you, Agnes. 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

No! I like your hair because it's pretty! It's strange but I like blonde hair but only on girls. I think it looks too feminine on guys... Really? That would be great! I would love to go to with you! It'd be very fun! When did he knock him off of his broom? Did he hurt himself? It was an accident, right? We should practice, maybe if we practice we'll get to be like Edgar at some point of our lives.

You haven't told anyone?... Well, now I feel special.

[ontheedgecombe-deactivated20141]

How about you just say one thing that you like about yourself?

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Mmm... Well, this one is hard... I'll go with... My... My eyes?

[finniganfrazer]

Let's get this party started!

[finniganfrazer]

No. Well as I say, it wasn’t touristy places, and Dad would be working a lot and my mum likes things I find boring.

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Oh... Well, maybe you could have found something fun to do!

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Our baby is no longer a baby!

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

It’s no problem at all! My friends are very important to me so if there’s ever anything you need don’t hesitate to come to me! Maybe it’s the firewhiskey talking, but I”m very glad we’ve gotten to know each other over the past few years! 

Isn’t it wild? There was a serious flaw in this plan somewhere along the lines. 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Must be the firewhiskey, soon you'll be trying to kiss me or something. No, of course not, I'm really glad too. You're a really sweet girl and I'm lucky to call you a friend.

Yes, though I'm grateful we're far from home. God, I must sound awful, but I love my freedom.

[gretacheese]

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[gretacheese]

Hey! I’m a blonde! Not a bloke, though. So I’m not offended at all. 

He’s a chaser! Best dang one I’ve ever seen too. You should see how fast he can get his broom to go. It’s impressive. I can’t even get a few feet off the ground without losing control. Okay, I can tell you because I haven’t told anyone and I just want to scream it from the mountains. He told me he loved me!

[thelifeofagnesreed]

But I do like your hair! It's so pretty! I'd love to see him play! He was really good at Quidditch matches! I remember some times and was he fast! Gryffindor would lose some times and Hufflepuff would win and everyone would be so upset. It was quite funny. I am the same, I almost kill myself first year because I fly so wrong, I'm actually surprised I didn't end up dead.

Greta!  He told you that? Aw! T-that's great! I'm so happy for you!

[ontheedgecombe-deactivated20141]

I am not anymore kind than any other person, I’m just telling you the obvious.

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Obvious for everyone but me, I know.

[finniganfrazer]

Let's get this party started!

[finniganfrazer]

Turkey. My dad had some business to do while he was out there, though, and they’re not in a hugely touristy area so I didn’t end up going with them.

[thelifeofagnesreed]

And you didn't want to go?

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Our baby is no longer a baby!

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Oh, you’re too sweet. You deserve to be happy, too, you know! I’ve never heard you say an unkind thing about anyone! So - here’s to happiness! Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you in your quest, yeah?

Oh, I know that feeling. Sometimes it can just get so cramped being at home when we’re so used to a place like Hogwarts.

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Thank you, Gladys. Thank you. I don't know what to say. But yes, I'd let you know if there's anything. Thank you, really.

Me too! Being on our own for six months? I'm not sure, and then coming back... Well, isn't the greatest idea.

[finniganfrazer]

Let's get this party started!

[finniganfrazer]

My parents are on holiday and they get back tomorrow so they could see me on my birthday. So this way they weren’t here for it.

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Oh, I see, I see! Makes sense now. Where did they go?

[gretacheese]

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[gretacheese]

I totally get you. I’ve never met an attractive bloke who was blonde. I can’t even think of one. The Wigtown Wanderers. His first game was just last weekend. Wanna know what he told me after they won? 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Me neither! I hope there isn't a blonde near us, I'm not looking to offending anyone.

Great! What position does he play? And of course I want to know, Greta! It would be an honor!

[gretacheese]

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[gretacheese]

I make up words too. I honestly think I’m the creator of the word ‘cheesy’. Oh, I’m not one for blondes either. We’re in the same boat. Mhm! Hufflepuff captain, he was! 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Cheesy, ha. Funny. Ah, fine, then we understand each other. I don't know, blondes are too... Blondish? You get me? Hum. He was the captain! But of course! I heard he left to play for a team, but which one?

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Our baby is no longer a baby!

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Thank you, Agnes! I’m glad I’m happy, too. Well there’s an entire month left of summer, and we’re at a party celebrating the birthday of one of our friends. Let’s make this the opposite of boring! Are you planning on having anything to drink tonight? Odd as it is, I brought some leftover firewhiskey with me… I wouldn’t mind sharing it at all! 

Oh, I do know! I understand completely. You’ll find it soon enough! 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Well, you do deserve to be happy, you're a really nice girl. You're right, I can change the boring part. Why not? Hum, Greta brought some fruity alcohol... So I guess I'm drinking that. But thank you, anyway. I bet there's lots of people who'll want a bit of it.

I hope so too. It's not that I hate my parents... It's that I can't handle being with them.

[aurorainthestars-blog]

Um, not particularly. But my roommates and I are going to Italy next week so that should be fun! 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Italy! Wow, great! I'm sure it'll get better, I mean, Italy!

[gretacheese]

EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

[gretacheese]

I’ll keep you in check then. Just one! 

Brownish definitely exists, Agnes. She must like them blonde? Oh, he’s just dreamy. You should see him while playing Quidditch. It should be illegal for someone to be that attractive. It’s super distracting. 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Thanks! Phew, brownish exists. I'm always making up words. Blonde, huh? Well, I'm not very fond of blondes but I guess it's fine. Hum, I think I saw him once... He did play at Hogwarts' matches, right? I must have seen him there.

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

Our baby is no longer a baby!

[gladysgudgeon-deactivated201806]

I am really happy. I’ve had a good summer. I hope yours has treated you just as kindly? 

Oh, that’s not a stupid fear at all. I understand it entirely. It’ll be nice to have some independence from home, though. Not until next summer, but - still. 

[thelifeofagnesreed]

Yay! I'm glad you're happy! It's good to see you happy! Well, hum, mine's been rather boring, if I'm honest.

Yes! Yes! I want independence more than anything, you certainly don't know how much I'm longing for it.
