River Thompson

You’ve got a point. I would never want you to be viewed as anything less than River Thompson, the man I have the privilege of knowing. To think anyone would hold this against you first and foremost just makes me furious, to be honest.

Hey, that won’t happen. You’re right about this.

… can I help you in any way, though? I just… want to be there for you. 

Now you're making me blush, really. Mèrci, chèrie. It means a lot to me that you understand why I'm chosing this and respects me.

I actually get it, to be fair. I’ve always seen the Ministry as this untouchable and righteous entity, but the things I’ve been seeing in there, River… I can see why you wouldn’t want to put yourself through that.

I just wanted to understand it better. Because it’s dangerous not being registered… I know getting into the registry can make you a target, but being outside of it can also make things difficult if you get discovered. Sacré bleu, I just want you to be safe, is that too much to ask?

You're sweet, Dan. You really are. But I don't feel really safe about all of this, to be honest. The laws regarding werewolves are crap and being registered also means to always be known as a dangerous magical creature first. Never River. Always the werewolf.

Of course you’re not, but legally speaking… I found out the ministry offers help during this time of the month. I mean, I know you do everything you can to be safe, but how does the ministry allow it?

I know they keep a log on all the werewolves and their whereabouts, so they can call them in during the full moons.

Oh, I see. Look... I'm not registered, if that's what you're asking and I have a reason for that.

Ha, and he’s also funny!

Yeah, right… about that. I totally get it if you can’t though. The thing is, I’ve been doing some research. So I can properly help you in anything you might need with your… problème poilu. And I’ve noticed how you’ve always on your own during the full moons… I don’t know if you get what I’m saying?

Aw, look at you all cute and helpful. Also, problème poilu? You can call it by the name, Dan. Lycanthropy. But anyway, I don't know if I really understood.

river-thompson​:

Now do I? I guess I should’ve known better that you could tell that just by looking at me by now.

Right, we agreed on that. It’s just… a delicate matter. I don’t quite know how to approach it without being too blunt.

It's the full moon. It gives me powers. No, just kidding. I like to think that we know each other pretty well by now, you probably could do the same to me or Diana.

Dan... You got that look on your face. When you're arguing with yourself to say something. 

themorgangirl​:

Well, I guess maybe we are to blame for you feeling inadequate, at least a little. It’s something we can work on, I’m positive. I think it’s important that we talk about, well, about us, even when something big isn’t happening. It will make things easier for all of us, and then we can all help each other a bit.

Cursing in french, huh? I guess it’s not too early for this. Well, we’re also lucky you took ‘fuck the bourgeoisie’ way too literally, so there’s that. 

I agree, we should talk more about things that bother us. It’s important for us to see eye to eye and be there for each other in the simplest ways. I know sometimes it can be a lot, but I think if we just say what we feel or want out loud, things can get a little… easier. I guess our problem was we weren’t doing much talking.

Yeah, pretty lucky.

And wasn't that bad, was it? You should spread the word to friends and family. Being fucked by the proletariat can be a great thing.

themorgangirl​:

You don’t have to thank us for anything, River. Understanding and supporting is the bare minimum any of us could do for each other.

Your mother is lucky to have you as a son, I hope you know that by now. And as far as hoping goes, I hope we’ll be able to help you with taking care of things.

If you say that again I swear I’ll hex you, alright? You’re so much more resourceful than me or Daniel, seriously, comparing ourselves is pointless. We’re here, aren’t we, Dan? We’ve already chosen you, and each other, for all that matters.

Diana is right, this is the least we could do. And you’re really a great son, it’s visible how much effort you put into everything. Count on us for anything, alright?

I’m not one to swear much mais putain de merde, River, you’re so fucking special. Don’t try to convince us otherwise. I can’t even count the times you left me mesmerized, and I’m not to be wowed easily.

Yeah, I've never cared much for the ideal of success that is socially imposed on us, but whenever we're together, I feel inadequate in some way. I'm not used to people taking care of me or being vulnerable, but thanks. It's good to know I can count on you. 

themorgangirl​:

I’m not usually one to give out point for effort, but Dan really does deserve it. I didn’t expect such a shift, and you have improved a lot already. We can’t change the past, but maybe the future will look better for us.

River… you didn’t have to. But I’m happy you did, and you already know I’m here for you.

I deserve that, I really was an idiot. I hope so, Diana.

You’re a…? Mon dieu, I was not expecting that. I wondered what you needed that money for, but I would never have imagined it was it. I’m sorry that happened to you and you have to go through all of this, River. I too am here for you. Whatever you need, whenever.  

Thanks for understanding, the two of you. I trust very little people with this information about my life and... Well, I guess you'll stick around and it's important for you to know what happen when I'm away.

themorgangirl​:

Well, you’re the only one who had a busy night, so I’ll give you that. It is quite nice, and the flowers were a sweet touch.

Like a baby, I really love your sheets. Shall we address the hippogriff in the room so early, then? I’m not quite sure what it is exactly, to be fair.

I’m glad you had a good night of sleep then.

I guess we should. Look, I know I said I wouldn’t talk about that night anymore, but let me just tell both of you again, together… I’m really sorry. I’ll do anything to make it up to you, no matter how long it takes. 

River, I’ll never know how it is to be a muggleborn. But I want you to feel safe, and to think someone could do anything to you… it killed me when I understood what that meant. 

Yeah, you were an idiot that night. And since we're being honest here, I was really disapointed. I thought that you were different than other rich people from the ministry. I guess you're trying to be at least, and for that I'm thankful.

themorgangirl​:

Not the best way to wake up, but a very good one indeed.

Jokes aside, this is lovely. Thank you, Dan.

Well, I thought it would be rude if we skipped the talking. 

Did both of you sleep well? 

If you ask me, that's going to meu top five best ways to wake up after a busy night.

@river-thompson​ @themorgangirl​

Good morning, Di, River. 

Made some breakfast for us, hope you’re hungry… or craving some caffeine. 

Coffee first, good morning later.

Se você insiste quem sou eu para discutir? Não se nega bebida de graça.

That’s exactly my point. She keeps looking over here at you. E eu estou começando a gostar da sua. I mean, quem não gosta de alguém que oferece pra pagar uma rodada de bebidas? Sou Tallulah, but you can call me Lua, if want. 

Na verdade, eu não insisti. Mas no seu lugar eu também aceitaria sem pensar duas vezes.

Não exatamente. Estou tentando forçar memórias enterradas voltarem pra onde elas estavam enterradas.

Poderia? Essa pode ser uma opção, mas já vi “erros” acontecerem quando a casa está cheia por motivo de flerte. Just saying.

Oh, definitivamente uma noite difícil então. Me deixe pagar a próxima rodada, com certeza você vai precisar de mais do que um drink para enterrar memórias.

Well, pressure is pressure, huh? 

Let’s go, this place is getting gloomy, and I know better spots to go.

Just lead the way, Mr. Head Boy

Hey. Parece que sim, nada contra a boa e velha cerveja, mas estou precisando de algo mais forte.

E eu pensando aqui que seria inconfundível, mas aparentemente tentaram de te ganhar com a bebida. Deveria pegar o nome da garçonete e chamá-la para sair.

Noite difícil?
