psa;

hello friends it is i, greg. back from the dead. isaac & i are both over at xonismsx​ which is my multimuse. just posting on the off chance anyone still follows this inactive account

[thenameislahey]

               i  keep  meaning  to  do  stuff here but i accidentally  on  purpose                rebooted my peter pettigrew blog so that’s kind of where i’m at rn

[thenameislahey]

     initially, he hadn't wanted to go out on a date, let alone a      a  blind  date where his counterpart could end up  being      horrible.  looking back on it,  he suppose he  lucked  out.      after all, how many guys could say that they went out on      a date with the legendary harry potter?

                   until  their  date,  his knowledge of her was limited  to  her                    name  &  general story. she was only a year younger than                    he was, but it meant that they had never shared a class or                    ran within the same circles during their collective time  at                    hogwarts.

     even  so,  beyond who she was,  the  real  reason  he  was      lucky  to  have been set up with her was because they  got      on really well.  they had enough in common, & beyond the      inceptive  hello of their meeting,  there hadn't  been  nearly      as  much  awkwardness  as  he  had  expected.   she  was      great, but he just wasn't sure if he wanted to see her again.

               “you're kidding me right?”  he breathed through a half  laugh,                nearly sputtering out some of the water he had tried  to  drink                not  a  moment  before,   thankfully,   he  only  got  as  far   as                bringing the glass to his lips.  “that's just brilliant.”  he took his                final  sip  of  water before replacing the  drink  onto  the  table.                unsure  fingers  played  with the base of  the  glass.  the  date                was  nearing  an  end  &  they  both  knew  it.  the  check  had                already  been  paid.  all that was left was  figuring  out  if  they                were going to do it all again.

                           “Well, that’s true…”                 It did make her feel a bit better, if we’re                 being honest. Lily knew that she couldn’t                 change the way he felt about Christmas,                 but she could try to make this Christmas                 the best one he’s had in a while, that was                 all she was trying to do.                             “My mum said the cookies                              should be done in a couple                              minutes —- and I think everyone’s                              comin’ over in a bit.”

             “oh g o d.   now,  if there’s one thing i love about this  household  it’s  the                hidden  wonder  of  the  world that  is  your mum’s christmas baking.  i                still can’t get over how good the cookies you mailed me last year were.”

   he wasn’t kidding in the slightest. last christmas had been a    particularly tough one ( not that he’d ever let her know that ).    getting a parcel that he  actually managed to keep from  his    dad  was  a  god send,  & the cookies within were  the  best    thing he’d eaten since going home.

                    “I know —- I just thought we’d help                      you get into the spirit of things.”          She felt bad all those Christmases where          she left to go back home and he’d be all          alone, or worse, with his father. The girl          just thought the Potters could maybe try          and bring Christmas cheer to everyone.          ———- Maybe they needed to try a bit more.         

               “You already have, believe me. I mean, I'm ｗｉｌｌｉｎｇｌｙ                 wearing this jumper,  aren't I?  You should see that as success!”

     a  set  of bright pearly whites were flashed her  way  for      added  affect.  he  knew  how much she  was  trying,  &      he  certainly appreciated it,  but she couldn't make  him      love  christmas.  however,  she was  definitely  making      him  feel welcome  &  at home amongst her family.  he      could  see  her  being so careful  to  have  her  families'      good spirits rub off on him & to some extent, they were.      just,  perhaps not in all the ways she might  have  liked.

                     loving snow  was one thing. but a blizzard? not                      so much. especially when said blizzard was being                      predicted to be a  nasty  one.    so it was lucky that                      she had been  so insistent on  lighting a fire,   as it                      only  took  twenty  more  minutes for  the power                      to go out.                                                 ‘ well that didn’t take long at all.  but i’m                               totally taking this as an excuse to roast                               marshmallows in the fireplace. ’

     there was no doubt that at the size of the storm brewing outside      that  they'd be stuck inside for a while,  but when it came  down      to it,  he supposed there were definitely worse people he could      have been stuck in with.  seeing as the house wasn't small,  he      wasn't  overly  worried  about his claustrophobia acting up,  but      to be on the safe side,  he decided to spend as few thoughts  as      possible on the fact that he wasn't able to leave.

               “wait, are you trying to tell me you had me help build a fire with                 marshmallows as an  ａｆｔｅｒｔｈｏｕｇｈｔ?”  he said it                 as if he was borderline horrified that the thought hadn't been the                 spark to light the flame.

     discontent   he  had  expected,   perhaps  even  some   amount      of  denial about whether or not he had truly won,  but reluctance      to honour the bet? now that was verging on ｃｈｉｌｄｉｓｈ.

               “i won, fair & square, liv.”

                   “You’re not? Oh, c’mon, Isaac, I                      thought the Christmas spirit                      had rubbed off on you for sure!”                                        Of course holidays were                                        big at the Potter house.                                        Everyone seemed to get                                        into the Christmas spirit,                                        well, mostly everyone.

               “Come on, you know I've never been big on Christmas.”

     up  until  this  year,  his christmases were spent either  at      hogwarts  alone,  or  alone with  his  father.  of  course,  at      hogwarts  there  were  festivities  amongst  all  those  that      remained   which   although  sometimes  awkward,   were      never  entirely  unpleasant.   in  comparison  to  at   home,      where  his  father's  idea of a present was the  kiss  of  his      fist  &  putting a plastic bow on their freezer. he supposed      when it came down to it,  he just wasn't used to christmas      being quite like this one.
