a war needs all the perfect ingredients

LA Story | By: Mitchell McCormack DAMAN | 2010 [+]

Do you even have a noble moment? Look, Alecto, all I can provide you is be civil around you, friendship is out of the table. You’ve been boasting about you and Evan and rubbing that fact to my face for days so maybe that will suffice? Besides, I’m sure Amycus being my bestfriend won’t appreciate me hanging around you. Good luck on your life though, dear Aly. Remember that all of these are just fruits of your labor.

*smile fades, a wary look settling over her* It wasn’t my most noble moment. I guess I sort of have a flair for creating total disasters. I’ve grown since then. I’m different now. I really am even if you don’t believe me. Nott…honestly now I’m just bummed I screwed up a decent friendship. If you’re “over it” like you say you are maybe we could start again. I just…*tears pooling in her eyes* I don’t have anyone. And I know it’s my fault. But if you just let me fix it I’ll find a way to make it up to you. Please.

Absolutely, Roddy!

Oh, no doubt about it. He’s squirming with his jealousy.

Now, now, Roddy, stop squirming.

This works for me well. Amycus, the only Carrow heir.

Now, that's something to celebrate. Although, won't we be seeing her during you know...after school and what we intend to do?

Sevvy, Sevvy, I swear you're the only one in this castle that can make me like jokester. You're more serious than I ever was.

You haven’t called me Aly in a long time, Notty. Aw. Is someone feeling sentimental? 

Keep telling yourself that, Al.

Of course, I couldn’t imagine never seeing you.  I already don’t see nearly enough of you, William.

Sorry, dear, you know how busy I get with the potions and all. But what do you say we hang out one day this week?

So much easier than actually doing the work.

Only a few more months and I won’t be seeing most of your sordid faces.
