This is rp ladies and gents

Astrid was 12, but she was observant and always had been. Her dads had told her it was a strength and that she should never stop viewing the world as she did. So, she didn’t. She watched everything around her, even if people didn’t realize she was or say much. Actually, that’s why she was currently entering the Ravencaw 1st year boy’s dormitory with a large tray of food while everyone else was at lunch. She’d noticed that one of the new 1st year boys hadn’t left his dorm that day and she wanted to make sure he was okay and that he ate. He had already missed breakfast, but he wasn’t going to miss lunch if she could help it. She had also managed to find out what work he was missing from one of his classmates and was already compiling the list and would offer to do it for him, or help him. 

Astrid knocked gently before she entered, balancing the large tray in her arms. She was a bit tiny for a 2nd year, but she managed just the same. She had gotten this far without dropping the tray and she’d be damned if she dropped it now. “Hey…I know you don’t know me, but I sort of noticed you didn’t come out…and uh…well, I thought maybe you’d be hungry…but I didn’t know what you liked so I brought everything and…uh…can we have lunch together? Oh! I brought hot chocolate too because chocolate makes everything better…at least that’s what my dad says.” Astrid rambled a bit awkwardly as she made her way over to his bed, a blush creeping up to her face along with a rather sheepish grin. She nervously shifted from heel to toe as she looked at him, hoping he didn’t reject her. She didn’t like when people did that. She just wanted to make friends. “Oh…I should probably tell you my name. It’s Astrid. Astrid Alden. Prof. Alden is my dad, well one of them.” Her blush only increased as she was sure she was doing this completely wrong.

Pyry was having one of those days. He was stuck in this emotionless zone. Getting up took motivation and he had none. It was days like this that made it hard for the young ravenclaw to do anything. It wasn’t new and despite having medication to help. He just was in this slump and hadn’t left his dorm. He had no will to move from his spot on the bed. The worst part was Pyry had felt it coming in, and he couldn’t avoid it. He tired but it just didn’t happen. 

Gael chuckled. “Veles, they LIKE you. That’s what they want. Girls don’t just hang around, especially if they’re snooty. I mean, I don’t like girls but I know that’s why they’re hanging around me. I mean…I asked Chepi and that’s what she says at least and I trust Chepi. She knows a lot.” Most siblings fought. Gael and Chepi never really did. Maybe it was the fact that Gael spent a lot of time away from her in the hospital or that he had almost died a few times, but either way they didn’t fight. Gael actually had a high opinion of his sister and took her word as law. If she said girls hanging around him meant they liked him, he believed her. 

“Well then I can agree fasting is awful. I mean, I have a pretty limited diet as it is….but it’s worst when I fast because then I’m so hungry I want everything I can’t have when I’m allowed to eat again.” Sometimes, he snuck things he wasn’t supposed to have too. Like french fries. He loved french fries but they were not good for his heart and he wasn’t supposed to have them. He snuck them sometimes though because what kid wouldn’t? Pizza too. He loved pizza, but again it wasn’t good for his ticker. “I can imagine. I mean, I’ve never had chemo but some of the meds I’ve had to be on for after surgery have sucked a lot and I know when I get my transplant…if I ever do…I have to take some harsh anti-rejection drugs. Only thing I can compare it too. At least you got Poncho out of it all. I just got lots of scars.”

Veles just stared at him in shock. They liked him? That was news to him. “Oh. Well I didn’t know that there. I don’t like them like that. I don’t really like them anyway.” He was so unaware of someone liking him he now was wondering who else he missed. That and what did he like? Honestly he hadn’t really thought about it. His life was sports and pretending he had two legs which made balancing easier. 

Marjorie bounced one hand in the other, a telltale sign she was nervous. One that Tu would easily recognize. One that she couldn’t stop, even though she was aware of it. Her hand continued to bounce as she tried to figure out how to say what she wanted to say. 

“I like you,” she finally blurted out. “More than a friend, I mean. I like you a lot. But…I also like someone else. Our other friend. I’m pretty sure I’m polyamorous.”

Oh Tu could see that she was nervous. The hand bouncing was something he knew as her nervous sign. The what she was nervous about he didn’t know. He would have to wait on that one. 

Gael chuckled. “I wish I had your problems. I mean…I’m popular in Hufflepuff, I guess…popular with the girls but I’m clueless on how to deal with that and I don’t really want to anyway. I don’t really like them like they like me.” He was only 13 but he was sure that he was gay at this point. He knew it wouldn’t be a problem with his family. After all, he had two dads. However, he genuinely hated hurting others and he had no idea how to break it to the girls who liked him that he had eyes on another…the boy before him. 

Gael nodded. “At least you don’t have to have dye shot into you so that your heart and blood vessels all light up and can be seen. I feel like a science experiment sometimes.” He honestly hated all this. All he wanted was to get a heart that worked but thus far his wasn’t “damaged enough” to merit one even if he had so many restrictions that he didn’t get to be a kid or live his life the way he wanted to. It sucked, but such was his life and he always had a way of smiling through it all and looking on the bright side.

Veles shook his head. “No it ls like I can’t be left alone for like five minutes. It is super hard to do any studying or anything.” He sighed a little. “I have a lot of girls too in Slytherin, it’s really weird. They are all kinda snooty at times. I don’t get what they want from me though.” There was Veles basically saying that he was clueless when it came to knowing when people were flirting with him. He had no clue at all. 

He nodded. “That is true. But they wanted me to fast as they are checking the blood flow to my leg after they do the normal scan.” He hated fasting as he typically had to do it while going through chemo or he’d puke it all up.It sucked. All of it sucked. But he was alive and that was what mattered. Sure his leg was feeling colder than normal but he figured it was the leg he wore. “I think I’d rather have dye than chemo. That stuff sucked. But I got Poncho who’s been letting me know all day my blood sugar is low but can’t do anything about it right now.”

Marjorie found herself smiling back at Tu. He had one of the most beautiful smiles, one she had loved since they met. She didn’t know that he had already admitted to liking their other friend. If she had, it would have made this conversation easier.

“Mind if we go somewhere private?” Marjorie asked, pulling him towards an empty classroom without waiting for his response. She closed the door behind her and looked at him for a moment, unsure how to approach the subject.

He could lose himself in those eyes of hers. Marjorie had the most beautiful eyes he had never come cross. Tu had a song about them somewhere in his bag about them. Well about her. Feelings were difficult at times and so music was how he could write them out.
