20 Green Hair Ribbons

[queenfabray]

Well I made it back to Galway. The whole family came to pick me up at King's Cross. The first thing mom said to me was that my skirt was too short and that I was not being chaste in the Lord. She was so happy that the family is all back together, because now my sister and I can both go to church with her every day

All your skirts seem just fine to me.

[queenfabray]

I know! It's an inch above the knee. That's too short, according to my mom. She knows nothing about fashion anyway.

You having fun with Matthew and Peter in Monaco?

[donttelldaddy]

I have plenty that are shorter than that.

It's been...interesting.

[queenfabray]

I know. I do too. But she doesn't know about those?

Interesting in what way?

Wait, what? Your mum thought that your skirt was too short, and thus, displeasing the Lord?

And I see that your sister is pretty much looking forward to coming to Hogwarts in the coming year. Just humor her for a while, and then tell her that she can see for herself when she gets there next term.

[queenfabray]

Yeah, she did. She's a bit... crazy.

I know she's excited but it's getting really annoying.

Private

Or just plain concerned. All parents do that.

If she is testing your patience, you can just say you can play a game with her, where she doesn't ask about Hogwarts, and you reward her with something. I don't know, maybe a candy, or something? Positive reinforcement always works.

She's concerned to the point of crazy, I think.

Hmm, maybe that could work. She likes chocolate frogs a lot...

I'm sure that your sister is just interested in you and what you do! Would you rather she not shower you with affection?

[queenfabray]

Yeah I know, but... I'm not getting a minute's peace.

Perhaps if you do something together, she'll calm down a bit.
