Amelia Bones

“Just fine. Hating that we work with idiots most of the time but then I suppose we can’t do anything about that.”

"Tell me about it I'm two seconds away from throwing myself off a cliff. At this point I'm begging for someone with more then two braincells to take over"

Emma put her papers away and met the woman. “Ready whenever you are.”

Amelia smiled and started leading the way towards the pub. "So how have you been recently?" she asked as they walked

“I never imagined you were going to ask me, little sister.” He wrapped her in one of her arms and would definitely love to take her anywhere. “How about a muggle space? Where can we drink and I don’t know, play a game to distract our minds?”

Amelia smiled. “That sounds perfect, and is exactly what I think we both need.”

“Sounds good to me. Let me just get this put away and I’ll join you.”

"Brilliant, just let me know when you're ready"

“Take it however you want as long as we’re getting drinks.” she joked.

She laughed again. “Theres this muggle pub down the road we can go there.” she said as she started walking

Emma was tired of everything at the moment and hearing the younger woman she smiled slightly. “After today I’d take anyone’s offer.”

Amelia smiled and let out a small laugh. “I’ll take that as a compliment,” she said packing her things away. 

"Y'know what I need something strong." She said suddenly. "You wanna go get a drink?"

“It is what it is. Hopefully I don’t get fired for it. But it’s not like Rita wouldn’t take it.” he said with a sigh. “You had plenty Lia. But what’s going on that is making you lose some.”

“ Yay.” She cheered. “ If you need to someone to go cat shopping with, you can Owl me.” She offered. “ I get that. Reading taking you away, makes what is going on in the world seem farther away.”

“I’m glad you think so.” he said smiling. “You’re an amazing one too. Hope you know that.” he said. He nodded understanding her change in topic. “Fought with my editor. He wanted me to just write a story about some pureblood. It was all nonsense and had no reason for it. I’m not risking my reputation cause he wants to sell papers. How about you.”

“ I will take that as a compliment, I much prefer to have a dragon on my shoulder than an owl, biting my ear for a treat.” She chuckled.  “ Reading is fun, and good, I don’t do it a lot, I’m a more active person than sitting and letting my mind explore.” She said. “ Get a kitten, while I won’t get one, I still want to cuddle one.”

He shook his head. “Hey unless you forced her to do something she wasn’t comfortable with there’s no way to overstep boundaries just by catching feelings. And I’ll still think she’s a moron.” he said smiling softly. He was glad to hear her secret. It felt difficult between them lately and knowing she still trusted him made everything better.

He smiled when she spoke about a girl. He knew how hard it was for anyone to come out. He really had no choice with who his cousin was but even then he was the most encouraging person along with his aunt that he always felt safe but he knew that wasn’t something everyone had even if they trusted their family. “I won’t let anyone know Mel.” he said softly. “She most have been very special and very dumb.” he said putting his arm around her trying to comfort her. “You’re a fucking catch.” he said leaning over to kiss her temple.

“You know all about my shitty taste in men. So tell me about yours or you get no more stories from me.” he said teasingly knowing he wouldn’t actually cut her off. At least from the funny bits. He couldn’t actually tell her about his broken heart. He barely could tell Tia about his actual heartache. He didn’t want to bring down Amelia as well. “Please let me hear about your bad luck in love. It’ll make me feel better about my taste.” he said pulling her in close as he ordered them another round.

“He’s a little shit. Talks his way in but seriously if I were having actual issues I’d tell you.” he said knowing it wasn’t completely true. He wasn’t going to make her life harder but it was nice having someone know about that little affair that he didn’t think would use it against him. Hestia was amazing and his everything but at the same time he knew how much shit he got from her. “Have you had you’re heart broken Melia and I don’t know about it. Who do I have to fuck up.”

“You’re missing out then.” he said grinning. “On both. His arse as well as other things are top tier. Now his personality is shit.” he grinned. “I mean he fucking finds his way into my home so that might be fun.” he said with a playful wink. “Seriously though he’s fun to shag but you can trust I won’t fall for him. I have some standards.”

“Yeah I know I’m a dumbarse.” he said smiling a bit glad that she didn’t seem to hate him. “Okay look. Have you never hate shagged someone.” he said laughing. “I mean you need to see his arse I don’t think anyone interested in men could deny him.”
