Public - Private to Various - July 31, 2000
Was the party as explosive for you last night as it was for me?
-Private to Granger-
Your party was . . . interesting, to say the least. I only hope it was as insane for you as it was for me.
I just thought I should let you know that Harry had a rough night and I'm sort of . . . taking care of him. I guess. So there's that, in case you were ( Read more... )

I would hardly consider the wanker I beat up a 'rock star.' And getting drunk isn't that hard. Shall I teach you sometime?
Hm, you heard quite a bit, didn't you? I can't say you should know... but I will say that rumours are most likely true, for once. Do they also say I broke his nose? I hope I did.

I can usually get drunk easily enough. Though, if you're offering to buy me alcohol I won't say no.
Well, first I heard that Kir challenged you to a duel to the death. And then I heard someone had actually died. And after that I heard that you and Kir were having some sort of mad love affair and that was the cause for the drama. And then I heard that it was a fight over Pansy and I figured I'd believe that one.
Looks like I chose right.
One of them did. One of them said you'd lodged bone chips in his skull with your super strength.

Hm. So the Britons haven't lost their flare for the dramatic, obviously. I like the one where someone died.
You were always clever.
Good. Even if it's not true, what's important is that people think it is.

I'm sure they do. You are a rather scary looking fellow, after all. They probably expect you could've hooked the poor man's brain out of his nose with your fingers. You just give off that sort of air.

All the details, right? Well, Perry and Kir beat each other up, completely ignoring me telling them to stop it, then Potter turned up and hexed them, then he nearly killed Perry and I shouted at him and at Perry and then everybody lived. So I would say I pretty much saved the day. Who needs Gryffindors?
I don't know how you missed it to be honest. They were bellowing away at each other and I saw screaming - all very dramatic.
I wish I could tell you the rest. Oh God I miss you so much
It was great to see you too. We should do... something, soon.
I miss you, this is all so horrible I can't
I miss you

It sounds like you did brilliantly. Poor Kir, though. I rather like him.
No one, that's who.
I probably didn't miss it. I think I may have heard the screaming and assumed someone'd got tired of behaving respectably and started a brawl.
Yes, we really should. Because . . . I miss you, too. So fucking much. And I've got things to tell you and I miss . . . I just miss you.

Yes, I rather like him too, but don't feel too sorry for him - he wasn't being shy about throwing punches. It's just a pity Perry hits harder. And is taller.
Oh, really?
Yes, there are things I - if I don't talk to someone about them soon I think I might explode. And who else did I ever talk to?

Not so much of a pity. Derrick's much more dashing that way. All tall and dark and frightening.
Well, probably really.
Well then . . . we really do have to get together soon. I would hate for you to explode on me.

I was in a fine mood yesterday. I was one of the select elite to be privileged to be invited to attend Potter's Worship Service. My life is blessed, indeed.
I never terrorise my Snakelets, as well you know.
It is impossible for me to ascertain which astonishes me more - that you are tending to the needs of someone else, or that you are asking me for advice on how to do it! Since when have I been any good at care-taking ( ... )

Not on purpose, no.
No fucking way I'm going to Molly bloody Weasley. For one, I nearly killed her oldest son. For another . . . my newfound open-mind only takes me so far. Living with a Weasley is where it stops.
That's all very sound advice. It's just that I've never done anything like this before. Which you know. Not the least of which because I mentioned it before.
It's just strange. I feel . . . well, this person needs me. That's rather intimidating, isn't it? What if I cock up? I can't really afford to.
At the moment the problems are mostly psychological and I presume to know very little about the workings of anyone's mind beyond what I've picked up on my own. I'll keep in mind what you said about therapists and the like even if I do think they're a all a bunch of idiotsAt the very least, I think I can provide a safe environment ( ... )

Close enough to 'elated' as to make no difference. Did you know I won that ridiculous Quidditch drawing we entered when we stopped at that shop while doing your birthday shopping? I even have someone accompanying me to the set.
Just so. I was one of the more exemplary Heads of House.
Being needed can be both an uplifting and a frightening thing. It can also become a stifling burden. Be cautious. You will not benefit anyone if you allow someone else's needs to completely over-ride your own.
Psychological issues are harder to deal with than the physical - and there the extent of my useful advice ends. I cannot remotely pretend to know anything useful on that topic.
YOU may do as you wish in that regard, as you always have. My anger will only be ignited if you allow anyone else to participate in your need for frivolity.
