No hesitation, no delay, it comes on just like special k.

I have found the downside to having my parents visit for Sunday lunch, instead of going to them. My dad has this spectacular ability to find fault in everything ( Read more... )

They did. I think my mum just has a flair for practical gifts.

Nice to meet you too. And you are?

No doubt they are to come.

Hey there, Amara. My symapthies on the Seventh Year thing. Slytherin, actually.

Mother used to comb my hair for me before we went anywhere. But that's just mothers, you know.

mortal_sand March 20 2007, 18:06:02 UTC

Ouch, Regulus. My mother just seems to think I should. Although I'm sure she used to when I was younger. What is it with mums and their obssession with combing?

fallingblack March 20 2007, 21:16:12 UTC

It was really unnecessary too. My hair always lied perfectly flat and straight, and there was no need for her to. I'm sure they just feel we need to present our best look to the rest of the world, and if anything is out of place, that it is a poor reflection on them. At least, that's how my mother would think of it.

mortal_sand March 20 2007, 21:20:22 UTC

Mine tends to be quite messy, so I guess it's logical. I think my mum follows the same line, pretty much. What I don't get is why they don't think we're capable of presenting ourselves properly anyway.

Beef. Oh god. Run away while you can. Or just......set it on fire until it looks brown? I don't know.

Hi Caius, I'm Heather.

mortal_sand March 21 2007, 08:44:44 UTC

...Why would I do that? I'd like it to be edible, really.

Hello there. Who are you, what do you do?

pancakesandfire March 22 2007, 01:10:14 UTC

I have no clue. You'll have to excuse me, I'm useless at the whole "cooking" thing.

As I said before, I'm Heather. Heather Jameson. I'm at Hogwarts, silly.

mortal_sand March 22 2007, 16:28:43 UTC

Excused. I'm not so brilliant, apparently.

I asked who you are, not your name. And you could have been a trapeze artist for all I knew. Not everyone here's at school.

bad_messenger March 21 2007, 01:17:45 UTC

CAIUS YOU BASTARD! Finally! How the bloody hell are you doing mate?

mortal_sand March 21 2007, 08:45:40 UTC

Well, that was a nice form of greeting, Evan, you dick. I'm pretty good. And you?

bad_messenger March 22 2007, 01:11:17 UTC

I bloody know. I am fan-fucking-tastic, as I have just acquired lots of rum. And Stollen.

mortal_sand March 22 2007, 16:29:25 UTC

Fan-fucking-tastic sounds brilliant. As does the rum and cake. Good to talk to you, Evan.

Parents fuss. It's their default state, the day they no longer fuss is the day they are no longer parents.

I'm Amycus Carrow by the way, might have heard of you in your years here at Hogwarts.

mortal_sand March 21 2007, 08:47:28 UTC

Quite probably. I'd just like to turn them off for 10 minutes or so.

I..believe I have heard of you. You're mates with quite a few Slytherins, aren't you? That's probably why.

ravingamy March 21 2007, 09:44:23 UTC

It would be handy, a big red button to press when the nagging gets too much.

A few... Not too many. And I wouldn't consider it mates either. What have you heard, then?

mortal_sand March 21 2007, 15:22:34 UTC

Something that would just put them to sleep for a few hours and let us have lives.

Ah, right. I haven't heard much, I just always saw more of you than other not-Slytherins and figured as much.
