Believer

Really? That’s touching, mate.

Well, I personally have nothing against Summer, so I’d be fine hanging out with her, but I suspect the feeling is not exactly mutual. And it’s fine, you don’t have to play matchmaker with us either, you know? Although you should probably act on your crush on Ava… Unless Summer doesn’t approve of her either…?

I will act on my crush on Ava, of course I will. But on the day I want to commit suicide. I am her best friend since our first day at Hogwarts.. which means it has been like... more than six years. With each passing year, the lie grew even bigger. I can't do anything else but keep this lie. Not without her getting mad at me and wanting to kill me. I mean, I didn't used to have a crush on her. At least not until last year... I even used to have a girlfriend. And now I just think we would make a great couple together. Am I pathetic, mate?

I just agreed to lend you five Galleons, mate, so yes, I got you.

Well, sometimes having a lot in common doesn’t mean getting along, you know? Isn’t it enough that we’re both your friends, and that we haven’t killed each other yet?

I have two rich friends. And you, mate, make me believe that rich people are not snobbish.

I think Mads just likes to see the look on your face when he does that. Don’t sweat it, Decs. I can pay off you debt with him, if that puts your mind at ease.

Whatever you say, mate, I don’t stress too much about it anyways. Well, future might be sooner than expected, but I think there’s no talking you out of it, is there?

Would you do that for me? Geez, mate. You're the best. I do not deserve have so good friend as you are.

You know that Mads probably doesn’t care that much about what you owe him, right?

That’s actually quite nice of you, Declan. And I won’t even take it personally about Summer’s dislike of me – that’s no secret, by the way. I’m fine with lending you the five Galleons, I just don’t know how you plan to keep this up? I mean, what about next month’s rent?

He doesn't need the money indeed. But it seems that he needs to throw the fact I owe him in my face whenever he see an opportunity.

Cheers, Decs. Am I sensing… something between you and Maddox?

Hmm, sure. I can pick it up later. May I ask what are those five Galleons for, though?

Nothing to worry about. Jus the same as always... I owe him money.

Hey, mate. Good to see you... principalmente sem o Mad a tira colo.

Hmmm, talvez quatro, cinco anos atrás? Foram apenas alguns meses, nada muito sério. Eu não me lembro de comentar muitas vezes, mas não era exatamente um segredo tampouco.

Talvez ela não tenha se dado conta de que o cara é tão crápula quanto você sabe que é… Quer dizer, ela está em paz com o fato d’ele ser casado, então o que quer que exista além disso, ela talvez ainda não tenha percebido?

Eu? Só com algumas pessoas. Nada de mais. Você sabe como sou com as minhas não-moradas.

Ótimo! Sabia que minha memória não é tão ruim assim. Quer dizer, se você comentou alguma vez, provavelmente foi nas entrelinhas e eu provavelmente não as decifrei.

Vamos esquecer essa história da Summer? Quer dizer, ela me quer fora da vida dela, então é mellhor eu simplesmente fingir que ela não existe, né?

Para o casamento da Grisha, você diz? Na verdade, recebi sim. Mas agradeço o convite, Decs. Eu iria, mas você sabe, eu e a Grisha temos um… histórico. Que acabou em bons termos, é verdade, mas acho que não pega muito bem aparecer por lá.

Você ainda não fez as pazes com a Summer mesmo? Será que essa não poderia ser uma boa oferta de paz?

Jura? Quando foi que isso aconteceu? Por que eu não consigo me lembrar de do seu histórico amoroso? Você algum dia me contou sobre a Grisha? Eu não deveria estar surpreso?

Hey, mate. Você recebeu o convite do casório? Se não tiver recebido, fica tranquilo que você pode vir como meu acompanhante... eu queria mesmo era convidar a Summer, mas ela não fala mais comigo...e ainda tem aquelas paradas dela achar o casamento uma instituição falida e tal. Enfim, azar o dela e sorte a sua. Yay!

Finally a good idea, I’m all for some sun, cocktails and chicks in skimpy clothes. Count me in. Yeah. yeah. You’re wiped, man. We can all see that. But fine, more for me and Gus. And Savage, if he loose the pitty act. 

I’m not your fucking wallet, Dec. But  I’ll gladly play if you just shut the fuck up and just accept that we’re going to have fun, Selwyn style. It’s a shame that your surname is Savage when you’re such a wuss.  We’re going to have a good time, mate. Let it loose. 

I vote for Greece.

This festival actually sounds nice but you’re right, we should leave the UK. I won’t oppose to Greece. Always wanted to visit their temples… And the beaches are a nice addition. I’m in!

I don’t feel very comfortable having you guys covering all my expenses, though… I’ve been saving some money. I’m not crazy rich but I can get by. “Selwyn style” huh? Don’t worry, Declan, I’ve got your back, you won’t get arrested on my watch.

Greece it is then, lads. There’s something for everyone: we can hit the temples and museums, we can go to the beach, we can party, maybe even see some wild animals, definitely meet some greek girls. 

Don’t worry about the money, Doug, you should all consider it historical retribution or whatnot. 

Hehe... geez, Selwyn.. you’re... how can I say that?... hm... a bloody wanker.

Do I look like I want to be chained on my last year of school, Savage? Come on, the last thing that I want or need is to be wiped by a pussy. I’m talking to you, Doug. Zelda is hot and shit, but man, this is our last break before we have to start work. Can we enjoy this moment? One last time?

Fine, no dragon fight. What else you girls suggest then? I’ve already told you I can pay, no worries about money.

Gus, you should consider a diplomatic career as well, mate, you sure have a way with it.

I’ve been in love with this girl since our fourth year, Mad. I can’t ruin this now that we’re finally dating. But don’t worry, we can enjoy our last year still. I just won’t be chasing for girls with you lads but sign me up for anything else. Well, I’ve heard there’ll be a festival in Wales…

Patience, boys. I aim to please and appease, and I’m sure everyone can get their kicks out of this little trip of ours.

Mads and I will pay for all our expenses, that’s settled. Now what about that festival in Wales, Douglas? I was thinking something more like Croatia or Greece. A little sun, you know.

You pay but you won’t charge this later, right? If so, you can count on me whatever you wanna do... or go... geez, keeping Selwyn around during all these years started making sense now.

Stop being such a wuss, Dec. Live a little, mate.

What about Prague? We can start there, I heard they have an amazing dragon fight arena. Don’t worry, this time in on me.

Oh, so you plan on getting arrested in your 40s, Savage? Good to know.

Damn, I dunno. It’s kinda my first break with Zel. What if she gets upset? I’m new at this boyfriend stuff, don’t wanna screw it up. Dragon fighting is legal in Prague, mate?

Merlin, let’s take it easy, mates. If we play our cards right, no one is getting arrested nor upsetting any girlfriend.

Maybe we ought to steer clear from dragon fights, and go for some more discrete animal? Also, flying carpets are out of question. But we could travel somewhere, and try to get Dougie here back in time so he can run to Zelda’s arms. 

Selwyn... always a gentleman, huh? 

No, it really wasn’t.

Fuck, Declan. Don’t say it like that, ok? I’m not choosing Rodolphus over you. It’s not what this is about. Because I shouldn’t have to choose. You’re my best friend, my favourite person, my guiding light. But I’m in love with Rodolphus and it isn’t fair that you would– Dammit, that was my floor!

No? Because to me it seems like you choose him when you said we’d better not see each other anymore... Look, I've never said any thing bad about your affairs, Sums. I’ve always tried to support and encourage you. But this time... this time is different. I know you fell in love with him, but... try to analyze this entire situation in a more rational way and you will realize that it’s very suspicious... to put it mildly...

Alright, alright. Vamos fazer assim: você finge que é verdade e eu finjo que acredito. Oh, stop it! That distraction tactic won’t work on me, mate, I know all your tricks.

Thanks, Decs. I mean it. But don’t worry about me. I know how to get by. Had to do it from a very early age. Here, lemme fix your hair. We’ve got a costumer. Got get him, tiger!

Well... whenever you need me, just call me. I know you can take care of yourself better than anyone I know... but sometimes accepting some help does not hurt. E eu não cobraria juros... sei como eles podem ser dificeis de digerir...

Chá de calcinha, poção do amor… tudo a mesma coisa. O efeito é o mesmo, deixa as pessoas embasbacadas. Please, Declan! I’m not blind. I can see you have a crush on her. Well, can’t blame you, she is bloody beautiful.

I’ve heard you can rent a room at the Leaky Cauldron for 100 galleons a month, so maybe I can start there and get a place of my own later on. I mean, I’m only 18, I don’t think I can raise enough money to actually buy some place. Oh, Decs, you know we can use spells to do the dishes, right? Here, let me take care of this, any minute now we’re open.

I don’t have a crush on her... I can understand people gossiping this, but you... I can’t. And you’re bloody beautiful as well and we're just friend. So you don't have a point here. I just have this habit of having beautiful friends...

Do you really think I care about what people are talking about me, Savage? When you grow up in a high society you have to have thick skin… nothing that people talk around here can really bother me. There is, Declan. If you keep trying hard maybe one day you will find.

I want something useful, small, big, it does not matter. Another jog opportunity. Great, I will give you some names and you do you magic, pretty boy. I’m sure you do your magic with a big smile on your face.

Sorry, mate. I grew up faaaar from the high society, so I don’t know the things you, rich and pureblood people, get used to. Anyway, I will keep trying... one day or another I will find it... who knows?
