PART ONE IS HERE:
http://ivybgreenflower.livejournal.com/481280.html anyway where was I
oh yeah Harry and Draco were tryna kill each other again
Anyways they were blocking the path and Darien had to get to his 8 PM class, so I picked them up and set them down away from the portal. I thought they might snap back into place, but they kept trying to fight from where I dropped them.
they kept sinking almost completely into the ground and it was honestly really funny watching them swim in the concrete and try to reach each other while everybody kept yelling at the now-empty cloud.
After watching that for a long time (THESE FIGHTS ARE LASTING LONGER AND LONGER I'M PRETTY SURE) I decided to put them closer to each other so they could at least fight normally. And then they fought for a sec and then did this... oddly intimate pose:
Bit of brightening reveals this, which could totally spin off six hundred "awkward former enemies slowly getting together, with lots of personal angst they gotta get over" hurt/comfort fics. It would be even better if Harry's arms weren't clipping so badly.
Predictably, Harry won again. Alice's needs dropped. It's all just very distressing for everybody. I decided I had to drop everything and start trying to repair this relationship, for everyone's sake. I have three million other sims but these two are gonna ruin everybody's lives if they don't STOP THIS.
stop it stOP IT STOP IT
"WHY" (oh, also: like 90% of the rest of this post will be Draco-faces, because HE'S SO CUTE I FORGOT HOW CUTE HE WAS?)
that's why. Note Scorpius wandering by to look at the light I'd just placed, because my outdoor caps are all super dark it's annoying.
ENOUGH. Get your pocketbooks we're going to SPACE.
"I'M SO CONFLICTED RN"
"I'm just wondering why the light suddenly stops like that. That's weird."
did you think I was kidding
"how are we breathing?" "WIZARDS."
Sent them inside to order food. They chose the seats themselves.
Draco ordered a gyro. He is unsatisfied. THIS IS NOT AUTHENTIC GREEK FOOD AND HIS FATHER WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS.
Oh hey! It's me! Harry looks inordinately upset about my arrival.
Look at Draco's face. I think he dislikes that Harry eats a hot dog by sniffing it. "YEP. THAT'S A HOT DOG."
"So how's about when we get home we punch each other on the lawn again?" "SIGH"
He's either thinking 1. "Is this toxic masculinity? Pretty sure this is toxic masculinity." or 2. "I hate my life"
"OH SHIT IT'S HIM DON'T LOOK" "who?" "YOU-KNOW-WHO" "...Voldemort?" "WORSE."
relax loves it's just a clone
I had free will off so they wouldn't slap each other, but then someone greeted him and he got up and left Harry talking about clouds alone.
whatever
ADORABLE FACE SPAM:
"idk why I keep having fights with you"
I took caps but I don't care enough to post them. But the head evil witch showed up and made a giant thunderstorm, and then the head good warlock came and did a beautification spell to stop the rain, and the spell + the sky mod was really pretty.
I spent so long making them have positive social interactions that the sun came up and I forgot they had needs. Sorry loves.
Harry was using the combination shower-toilet, so I had Draco "primp" to gain some hygiene and also to distract him from complaining about having to pee. And it was a good decision.
Sent them back home. Relationship status update. Also Narcissa's hair isn't glitched, that's mspaint's fault.
Time stops on the home lot while sims are away at community lots, so no time was lost when they got back. I sent everyone to bed and then made them sit and talk all night. Results above.
Every time I shut down for the night I remember I forgot to give any of them magical powers. So I made Lily a witch (I chose Infallibly Good for her alignment). She put on her wizard hat and robe.
Not to be all 2004 emos/goths vs jocks/preps, but I really hate the cheerleaders.
I'm doing everything I can think of to try to dispel the "furious" state they're both in, including having them apologize. Draco totally doesn't mean it though. The furious state like resets every time one of them slaps the other, so I've been waiting a long time for it to go away on its own. :|
After Lily's witchification, Knowledge sim Remus' wants panel rerolled and became very typical millenial-in-college: become female, have sex IN A SPECIFIC LOCATION OR IT DOESN'T COUNT, study, gain a skill point. (What's funny is that I actually can change their behavior and make male sims act like females with one of those cheaty hacky objects, and I know how to make them physically change genders by hacking the character file. But I won't be doing that. Maybe some other sim sometime.)
He was content to become either a Nice Warlock or a Good Warlock, I can't remember which I chose. (The scale goes Infallibly Good - Good - Nice - Neutral - Mean - Evil - Atrociously Evil).
Sirius chose that moment to arrive back from Physics class, still in his bathrobe, so I had Remus attempt his first spell on him. Sirius won't mind. Or notice.
He doesn't know many spells yet and has no magic skill, so his first attempt failed. Embarrassing.
Second attempt worked. "Benemoodus Simae!" Ah, pseudo-Latin. How very canonical of you. It made his needs get replenished a bit.
This made Sirius want to do magic, too. So I had him become a neutral warlock. He is HYPED.
"Maybe if we go back to that 50s dinner and share one milkshake with two straws, our relationship will improve."
"You ignorant buffoon, that's clearly a parfait in your speech bubble. You don't eat those with straws."
They were playing pool but he mostly just stared at her. He loves her SO MUCH.
Let's check up and see how they're doing:
Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing walking contradiction.
No one's got a high enough magic skill level to cast the Mactoamicus spell (makes 2 sims more friendly). So I decided to try strawberry juice, which dispels furiousness. But no one's got high enough garden skill to plant strawberries, so I made them work together to plant some tomatoes and try to raise their skillz. They also no longer want to see each others' ghosts, and Harry has a timely want. I really don't want to hate him anymore. Maybe Hermione found a book for this.
"Every morning, I wake up surprised to find a girl in my bed."
"Let's try to figure out how to stop fighting with each other. Also, wasn't that poster something different yesterday?" "...no."
Are you sure? You'd better be. It took hours, but he managed to learn the anger management skill. Sims with this skill allegedly get furious less often and stop being furious more quickly or something like that.
Harry took a bit longer for some reason, but he learned it too. Look how genuinely happy Draco looks!
I changed Harry's zodiac sign to something more compatible with Draco's, and their mutual attraction score shot up. "I HATE HOW HOT YOU SUDDENLY ARE."
Sirius had wanted to study relationship counseling, for some reason, so I let him. He informed me he'd finished the book just as HARRY DID THIS. WHY.
"We're still enemies." "whatever"
"Maybe instead of hittin' it in the streets, you should try hittin' it in the sheets."
"wat"
"what"
Finally remembered to give them a double bed, and they're so cute that I am cry.
stop "family kiss"ing. stop.
Darien tried to give her a "friendly hug", but she wasn't interested. Lily says "MY GRANDDAUGHTER!" James says "MY FUTURE WIFE" James is so cute
Harry took a break from slapping Draco AND RUINING ALL THE HARD WORK I'VE BEEN PUTTING INTO THEIR RELATIONSHIP to kiss Regulus. They don't really have many relationship points so I don't know why this is happening.
I swear to God if you guys don't stop this shit
Meanwhile, this is how Remus arrives back from class. I guess he's still learning how to handle his broom. hehe
that's it I'm leaving bye
