Experience, you say? My my, Molly Prewett, you dark horse. Didn't know you had it in you. Suppose you're right - in all honesty, every other place is either creepy or just totally unsuitable. I guess broom cupboard's may have a certain ambience about them, but... let's not go there. Anyway, how was your summer, Molly?

      —- “Am not,” the redhead muttered something about people taking jokes far too seriously, before sighing. “Ah, yes, the broom cupboard. Not the best of locations, as experience has sh— I mean, it would stand to reason. It’s only that there’s nowhere else to do it, is there? The portraits gossip, the teachers watch like restless hawks. A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.”

You certainly have a flair for the dramatic, Marlene, I have to give you that. I mean, you might get expelled in the aftermath, but there's always Beauxbatons. I hear the French aren't exactly the most welcoming, though.

I’m sure that had she known, she would have been very disappointed. The Astronomy tower is nice but you will be interrupted all the time because it’s a pretty popular spot. And why not? I love a bit of murder after my kisses.

[aandromedablacks]

Pretty uneventful, honestly. Most of my time was spent being dragged around the shops by my mother. You're looking a bit nervous though, is something wrong?

I had a splendid summer, thanks for asking. Erm.. How about you?

[aandromedablacks]

Hopefully not where you're headed. I hear the majority of them tend to stick to the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. But even if you do run into one or two, at least you'll be used to them from Hogwarts, right? Just scared, I suppose. Scared to grow up, however childish that must sound.

I shouldn’t need to build up a tolerance. At least I’m hoping for no more mudbloods, but I may still see them if I’m working for the Ministry. Why don’t you want to leave?

[aandromedablacks]

Oh, come on, Sirius. I will say that about half of Slytherin is filled with pretentious arseholes, but it's not as if Gryffindor are the saints everyone makes them out to be. Nor are all Slytherins complete tossers. 

"No, they don’t. Not when Slytherins continuously disguise shite behavior as ‘wit’ and ‘cunning’ and ‘family loyalty.’" 

[aandromedablacks]

Ew, ew, McGonagall's office? Don't think she'd appreciate teenagers slobbering all over each other in her office but hey, it's an idea. Maybe the Astronomy Tower. You could always push your snogging partner off if they were annoying you. Not recommended, but you've always gotta keep your options open.

Then the Astronomy Tower? Quidditch Locker rooms? McGonagall’s office?

[aandromedablacks]

Trust me, you're not missing out on much. Most of ours are cranky - there's about two pleasant ones. Aw, don't get me started on pumpkin pies, we're gonna be here till midnight. I know what you mean, McGonagall can be a bit of a drag. But anyway, how was your summer, Peter?

Well.. I don’t really have house elves, but I suppose I know what you mean. My mother’s cooking is amazing but the house elves are better than her - which is rare. She only exceeds when it comes to pumpkin pies. The ones I dread most are Transfiguration.

[aandromedablacks]

Not in the slightest. I mean, we've house elves at home, but there's something about the cooking here that's just a thousand times better. One thing I'm not looking forward to though, is those Potions essays.

Is it bad that I’m already looking forward to the good old Hogwarts breakfasts? I missed those back at home, after all.

[aandromedablacks]

That sarcasm I hear? Somehow I don't 'respect' and 'harmony' is synonymous with our two houses, at least. 

"Respect and harmony at Hogwarts. Isn’t that how it’s always been?”

"Ten sickles says that a Slytherin blows that before midnight tonight."

[aandromedablacks]

I suppose I built up something of a tolerance for it. Clearly you haven't - but like you said, only one more year and you're finished. No more mudbloods sounds like heaven, doesn't it? Interesting, you must be very excited for it. Strangely, I can't wait to leave this place, but I don't want to at the same time.

How you can even stand being here is beyond me, Andromeda. I’m going into the Department of Mysteries.

[aandromedablacks]

Raging hormones and dust - fairly disgusting, as you can imagine. Always nice to know you're not alone, eh? How was your summer, Ted?

Smells a bit like raging hormones in here, yeah? I’m terribly glad I’m not the only one with this issue.

[aandromedablacks]

You make a good point there, Molls. Though personally, a broom closet wouldn't be the hottest snogging point for me. Dirty, dusty old brooms... Ew. Oh Merlin, I don't think I'm quite that desperate just yet. And I'm not a cradle snatcher. Are you?

      —- “Don’t need to be in a relationship to snog some bloke or gal behind a tapestry, ‘Dromeda. I could find you someone, if y’like. As long as you don’t mind desperate 4th years who’re too nervous to say anything beyond lessgooutsometimeyea?”

[aandromedablacks]

Well, I suppose I could in theory, but prefect code states I can't. Unless I'd like to lose my badge, and I've a feeling mother wouldn't be too pleased with that. Plus I don't think broom closets are all that hygienic. 

Then go snog someone in a broom closet?

[aandromedablacks]

Clearly Dumbledore decided to switch it up a little. Must've been the parents of a few scared firsties complaining. But I think it still sounds threatening, if not quite as frightening.

”’Do not go into the forest unless you wished to be lost and never found.' Well that's a mild affect, last year it was if you didn't want to die a horrible painful death.”

[aandromedablacks]

I can tell you're counting down the days till the very end, eh? But I don't think this place is all that horrible. What do you plan on doing after school, Lucius?

"Ah, Hogwarts, can’t say I missed the oafs they call professors or overwhelming number of mudbloods and blood traitors alike. Good thing I’ve only got another year after this one."

[aandromedablacks]

Just burst in on a couple snogging in a broom closet. Not sure who it was more awkward for, me or them. Either way, it's made me feel strangely irritated about being single, which is ridiculously embarrassing.

Hardest of Hearts - Florence and the Machine There is love in your body but you can’t get it out It gets stuck in your head, won’t come out of your mouth Sticks to your tongue and it shows on your face That the sweetest of words have the bitterest taste
