glory & gore

⎯  ✴︎ “ Very well. This time I suggest Crabbe. He’s been rather annoying lately. And yes I am too afraid. I like my face far too much to suggest hitting it. And I’m not too fond of pain so anywhere else is off the table. ”

▵ — “ Crabbe, huh? Alright, I could - yeah, I could make that work. He’s got an ugly mug and I can’t stand the sound of his voice. And I do respect you wanting to protect your more sensitive areas. Is this a very real offer, or are you just teasing and being hypothetical? ”

⎯  ✴︎ “ I… I don’t think I’ve seen that movie. I’m talking about. I probably shouldn’t say and not just because it’s supposed to be a secret, but because it’s probably too unbelievable. ”

▵ — “ Just as well. It was a fucking terrible movie. A secret and unbelievable? Two words you should never use if you don’t want to pique someone’s curiosity, you know. ”

⎯   ✴︎ “ Um… no actually I was just lost in thought about… nifflers. Strange. Sorry, I stare when I think. ”

⎯  ✴︎ “ I could try to arrange that too. Or at least point you in the way of someone who needs punching. ”

▵ — “  If you suggest Goyle or Amias again, I’m going to have to kick your arse. Too afraid to volunteer yourself? ”

▵ — " I really just want to hit someone. ”

⎯  ✴︎ “ Owe you money? No I… sorry, my mind’s… What’s a niffler? ”

          “ Wait, you know what, nevermind. I’ve heard enough weird shit lately and I don’t think I should hear anymore. ”

▵ — “ You know, nifflers. They’re the things with the... pouch... ”
