Crush
“Sirius, can I talk to you?”
“Ginny? Yeah, sure, of course, we can talk. Is everything okay?”
Sirius hadn’t had as much interaction with Ginny as he had with the other kids. He knew who she was, of course, Ron’s little sister, and even without that connection she’d kicked Harry’s ass in football matches enough times for him to have heard of her. But she was rather independent and she’d certainly never come to him for advice. So this perplexed him.
She took a deep breathe and sat down at the table across from him, “So, I-well, first I’m bisexual.”
Oh, well he’s had enough experience with kids coming out to him, it comes with the territory, “That’s wonderful Ginny, I’m glad you felt safe enough-“
“Yeah, I don’t need that. I’ve known this for ages, I’m fine. The problem is I like someone. A girl someone. That I’m friends with. And I don’t know if she likes girls, and I don’t know if she’d like me if she does, and I don’t know what to do. And I figured that you married Remus, and Harry says you guys were friends at school. So what do I do?”
She looked rather desperate and Sirius had to suppress a smile as she reminded him of his younger self.
“Well, does this person happen to be Luna?”
“How did you know that?”
“Let’s just say I know the look of yearning.” Sirius winks and Ginny wrinkles her nose
“Please, don’t wink. And don’t say yearning. Just tell me what to do, do you think she likes me back?”
Sirius leans forward in his chair, “I think Luna is lovely and you would have to do a truly atrocious thing to even make a dent in your friendship,” he glances up as Luna comes in from the garden, grass in her hair and oversized pink sunglasses askew, “Just talk to her. Trust me.”
He walks over to join Remus who has also just come in from the garden and picks the loose grass from his hair, “Do you think we were that bad?” He asks, inclining his head at Luna who is talking animatedly about the beetle she found that she swears is good luck while Ginny listens with a dopey look on her face.
Remus presses a kiss to Sirius’ temple “Oh we were much worse.”

I honestly have so much respect for Andromeda it’s insane
Because I don’t think I could keep living if most of my family was dead and my daughter and husband both died fighting in a war they have no business being in
And then having to survive to raise your grandchild alone because the only other parental figure in his life is an 18 year old kid who just came back from the dead and clearly has unprocessed trauma

I love wounds that run thru narratives, though. Something terrible happened and we won't acknowledge it; in fact we have already moved on, and it's perfectly fine now. Or maybe something happened but we have been thru so much worse and made it out fine and only a coward would crumble now, at something so small, so silly, and whatever we may be, we are not that. Something happened and it was so awful if I stop to acknowledge it I fear I will shatter into a thousand pieces and no one will be able to put me back together then. And yet still the wound runs through the story, like pulsing veins under the skin, it warps time, snags and strangles and bleeds, a black hole at the heart of everything the characters spin and spin around, unable to break free, even as they insist - they are just fine.

watching black sails for the first time is so wild because it's like 'omg a ship', 'omg another ship', 'even more intense chemistry between those two men, that's a new ship', 'omg the walrus'

Hopped onto the free shuttle bus to Sembawang Shopping Centre for some grocery shopping and dinner. Checked with mum if she would like to have pasta today and proceeded to Saizeriya (サイゼリヤ) at the basement floor. It is an Italian casual dining restaurant from Japan with wallet friendly prices. They have a new seasonal menu with four new dishes so I chose one from there in addition to two pastas.
Ordered the Black Pepper Chicken Spaghetti (S$5.90) for mum since that is the one she always had and she is not keen to try the other pastas. Hers came with black pepper sauce with grilled cubes of chicken.
I went for the Black Truffle & Mushroom Spaghetti (S$7.90) with truffle cream sauce and plenty of earthy mushrooms. For sharing, this Creamy Mala Chicken (S$7.50) with a grilled boneless chicken steak, potato wedges, corn kernels in a rich and spicy mala sauce. To be honest, there isn’t much of the white sauce and the mala paste is not as spicy as you think it is.
