That is between me and @lionhearthopkins and no one else, Merlin! What is your preoccupation with this all of the sudden?

Merlin, what is this preoccupation with my sex life? No, that has not happened!

So, so false!

My face is right here, silly! And it will be back in the same place as you beore you know it.

Becca: Olly? Where are you? They put everything on lockdown but I can't find you in the Great Hall.

Becca: Olly? I've looked everywhere, but I still couldn't find you :(

Becca: Where are you? Why aren't you answering me?

Becca: Merlin, please just have dropped your phone in pumpkin juice. Please, please, please.

Becca: I love you. I love you so much, and I'm really scared that wherever you are, you're not okay :(

Becca: Please be okay. Please, please be okay. I need you to be okay.

@lionhearthopkins:

BUT IT WAS HIS SKIN. IT WAS LIKE IF SOMEONE HAD BEAUTIFUL LONG HAIR OR SOMETHING AND ALWAYS COMBED IT AND TOSSED IT AROUND AND PLAYED WITH IT AND EVERYONE RESENTED THEM FOR IT - ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO CUT OFF THE LOCKS AND PASS IT AROUND TO EVERYONE??? IT’S LIKE A HORROR MOVIE! Those tales aren’t creepy, they’re classic! S’not my fault Muggles like super obvious morals hidden under actually creepy stories - like, okay , the Giving Tree? She was just a tree that gave her whole life to someone who didn’t give anything back??? What?!

YOU’RE MAKING SOMETHING SO PURE AND SWEET INTO SOMETHING VERY CREEPY, OLIVER HUFFLEPUFF HOPKINS! YOU’RE LUCKY I DIDN’T LEARN THIS ABOUT YOU SOONER; I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH NOW FOR IT TO BE A DEALBREAKER. OKAY, LET’S TRY IT AGAIN. DON’T THINK OF IT AS SKIN, THINK OF THE RAINBOW FISH AS HAVING A LOT OF LOVELY SHINY BEAUTIFUL KIDNEYS. HE ONLY REALLY NEEDS ONE TO SURVIVE, AND NONE OF THE OTHER FISH HAVE KIDNEYS. NOW DO YOU THINK IT’S BAD FOR HIM TO SHARE? The Giving Tree makes me cry. We read The Giving Tree, we cry over it, when we move on. We don’t talk about it at length because then I’d be really, really broken from too much thinking. And then you’d have to hug it all better, and then there would be no more storytime because I’d need an eternal hug.
