I'm not one for Shepard's pie, really. I much prefer sweets. If they had chocolate chip cookies for dessert every week, I'd be the happiest witch in the castle. 

Well, food is the best distraction that you can ever ask for. I completely agree with that. Shepherd’s pie every week would make things so much more better than they already are. 

[nathartwell]

This they can believe, though. It's the truth. [shrugs, smiling a bit] I'm glad to know that something is able to distract people from my horrible displays of my lack of coordination. They should have shepherd's pie every week in that case.

Well, people shouldn’t believe everything they hear. You can’t blame me for missing your fall, lass, the shepherd’s pie that week was fantastic. 

[nathartwell]

[can't help but to giggle a bit] Well, the whole school heard you. [quirks a brow] Really? Because I'm pretty sure I almost faceplanted in front of the entire Great Hall just last week. You missed a good show. 

{He laughs} Sorry, didn’t think you were going to hear me if I - {He leans forward, whispering} talked like this. Believe it or not, it’s news to me. But you know what they say, you learn a new thing everyday. 

[nathartwell]

[sighs softly, climbing up the rest of the staircase to meet up with him] You don't have to shout that, Graham. [she says, her voice hushed] It's nothing new. I'm quite the klutz. 

{He smirks, nodding, though he doesn’t really believe her} Doesn’t seem like it by the look on your face. You looked like you were about to fall flat on your face there. 

[nathartwell]

[smooths out her robes, her cheeks turning bright red at the sound of a voice, realizing that someone saw her almost fall] Um, yeah, fine! [she calls back] 

{He glances from a staircase away and calls out} You alright there, Hartwell? 

[nathartwell]

You're very welcome. 

Aw, thanks.  

[nathartwell]

Very true. Well, here's to hoping you find a few guys to sign up and you can show them the worst night of their lives.

It’s a voluntary program. You sign up for it. You don’t do it unless you know what you’re getting into. I’d probably laugh more than anything. It’d be so funny.

[nathartwell]

I mean, I guess it's fun for you. I don't think I'd really enjoy that sort of thing. 

I have no clue, but how much fun would it be? I mean, I’m not going to charge for it, that just ruins everything. Guys would ask me out and I’ll be the worst date they ever had.

[nathartwell]

Do you think anyone is actually going to take you up on this? 

I could give them tips and tricks. Show them what a terrible date looks like. Give them a few pointers, throw them a little sarcasm and a few laughs at their expense.

[nathartwell]

Sounds amusing and all, but what's the point? To show them what not to do on a date? I'm fairly certain a lot of guys around here could use that, actually. Not that I would know or anything. 

I’m thinking. I just take guys out on a crash course of worst dates they could have all on one date. Just do everything terribly. I think it’d be hilarious. They would know of course, but still.

[nathartwell]

A Worst dates service? And what exactly is that? 

I like to avoid the part where I get caught. -pauses; So I’ve been thinking. Valentine’s Day and all that stuff. I’m gonna have a Worst dates service.

[nathartwell]

Lying only seems to get me in a world of trouble. I prefer to keep things uncomplicated. I wish it could work out for me, but it never does. It's just not something I was meant to do. 

Well, everyone has their own opinion on things. Honesty about personal matters is a last resort. I’d rather ask for forgiveness than permission.

[nathartwell]

I don't think that's going to work for me. Just...I've been told as of late honesty is the best policy. Plus, like I said, I'm probably the world's worth liar. I should win an award or something, I swear. I'd rather just avoid a situation than lie my way out of it. 

Play it off. Pretend that you were pretending to lie or something. I’d rather lie my way around some things, but that just might be me.  It hasn’t gotten me in too much trouble just yet. Eventually you’ll figure it all out. 

[nathartwell]

I give plenty of reason. I'm a horrible liar, I swear. There's certainly no future in acting for me, that's for certain. [chuckles along with her] You know what? That sort of makes sense. I can give it a try. Not to say that it'll work for me or anything, but I'll try. 

Sort of. They can’t call your bluffing until you give them reason to. -chuckles; Try and think ahead of what’s going on. A little difficult but expect the unexpected really. I always assume the most extreme scenario will occur and then even if it doesn’t I’m prepared for it.

[nathartwell]

So it's the whole fake it 'til you make it sort of thing? I've tried that as of late. It worked a little, but I don't know. I don't think I can keep it up. 

I grew up having to be a social butterfly, so in all fairness I’m cheating really. I wouldn’t say that. Stepping out of my comfort zone isn’t any easier than it is for you. I don’t like it. I hate it in fact.
