human after all

                         ❛ can you believe the professors right now ? it feels as if we’ve barely walked through the door, and i’m being swamped with homework ! i understand N.E.W.T.s are important, but can’t we at least breathe first ? haven’t we been burdened by enough bad news as it is ? ❜

“i can’t say i’m surprised, but i’m definitely on your side here.  no kind of review or anything?  just diving on in.  it’s awful, and i won’t stand for it . . .  let’s stage a revolt, huh?”

                “ did you have a decent break? “  alecto asked, the question as benign as she could make it. she was transcribing notes from one notebook to another and didn’t bother looking up.  “ a nice, seemingly momentary reprieve? “

“all i did was sleep and drink . . .  and now that i say it out loud, that sounds really sad.  but i had a good time.  i haven’t gotten to sleep in that late in ages.  what about you?”

                    politics were the topic nate had the most practice weaving conversational gymnastics around; his father and grandfather always wanted to see him more involved than he cared to be.  it was easier than breathing to tap a controlled incendio to his copy of the prophet before turning to the person next to him; he had no patience for pieces tossing careful barbs at bodeme’s policies, as if barbs meant anything to blood spatter.   “ can you pass the rolls? I’m famished, man, I swear. I’ve missed hogwarts food. “ 

“you missed the food?  that’s it?”  jasper watched, enthralled as nate set his copy of the prophet on fire.  “nothing else?  not even a certain best friend of yours?  i’m offended, nate.”

                ❛     I’m  not  interested  in  an  interrogation    .                                                                 But  a  conversation       ?        That  I  can  do     .       ❜

“who’s doing any interrogation?”

“you’re making some wise ass statements today, jas. like, damn.” he shook his head, then. “i mean, you’ve lost the appeal now that it’s so easy. i only lust after unattainable people. you’re too easy.”

“must be something in the water.  dunno what’s come over me.”  he shrugged and grinned at the other boy.  “you know, it’s not the first time i’ve been told that i’m too easy.  your loss, man.”

                     hestia couldn’t help but roll her eyes to the sound of ‘jones’,  completely despising the name, though she wouldn’t tell jasper this. it was too much of a long story, one that was told too many times it felt. “what makes you think i carry tea in my trunk ? anyways, i know what you meant,  i just don’t know if i can muster the energy to even take my wand out. i’m just so… tired.”

jasper’s grin got a little cocky when he noticed the eye roll.  “so there’s a little spark left in there after all, huh?”  he tried his hardest not to laugh at her next question, though it ended up coming out as somewhat of a scoff.  “because you seem like the exact type of person who has about twenty different varieties of tea in her trunk.  dunno, it’s just a hunch.  i think some people call it a ‘mum friend’?”  he gave her a pout of mock-pity.  “too tired to pull your wand out?  come on, it can’t be that bad.”

       “ hey! “  with a hip cocked, victoria leaned her broom up against her side so she could easily cup her hands around her mouth to shout out to jasper where he stood on the edge of the quidditch pitch.  “ you know, I think those dumb - ass rules are still in effect, and you’re technically not supposed to be out here on your own. there be dragons. dementors, whatever. “  she was electing to ignore the fact that she was also out here on her own.  “ plus, I wanted the pitch. “

“you ever followed those rules in the first place?”  jasper asked.  half-taunting, half-genuinely curious.  he was almost certain that nobody above fifth year had taken the new rules seriously for more than a day.  he approached, broom in hand no doubt causing him to swagger a little.  the quidditch pitch was one of the only places at hogwarts where he didn’t feel like a waste.  “ah, so the truth comes out.”

“I can always try to make more, I bet that’s really fun. I could eve start my own line. I don’t know if I’m creative enough for it, but it would be fun.”

“i guess you never know until you try?  i dunno.”
