in the event that mr. dumbledore will no longer be capable of safekeeping these memories, s. t. snape requests their immediate destruction by any living member of the black-malfoy family. in their absence, the malfoy house elves will have also been left instructions.
any unauthorised viewing of any of s.t. snape’s memories will trigger an unnamed irreversible curse.
Is it bad to find it kinda refreshing that a YouTuber is getting cancelled and it’s not for child grooming and exploitation or sexual misconduct…cause I’m relieved it was just plagiarism even though that’s a bad thing to do as well
Frankie: Sorry about the other week, by the way-.. they didn’t say anything was wrong when they came in.
Oscar: Don’t worry about it.
Frankie: How’re you doing?
[Oscar paused as he turned to face Frankie; she was about as subtle as his better half]
Oscar: You’ve been talking to Courtney.
Frankie: Well, I-…
Oscar: I hope it wasn’t too damning.
Frankie: No, no, of course not! I didn’t mean to sound patronising.
Oscar: Uh-huh.
Frankie: Really, I-…
Oscar: I’m just fucking with you, it’s fine.
[Frankie dipped her head and tittered nervously, avoiding Oscar’s gaze]
Oscar: Sorry, one of many bad habits-.. it’d be good for her to have a friend that isn’t my friend too, y’know? You can come over if you want.
Frankie: Now, or..?
Oscar: Whenever. We’ve an open-door policy-.. for friends, anyway.
Frankie: Courtney said something similar.
Oscar: Too polite to accept, huh? C’mon, I like cooking for people.
So picture this. Yue Qingyuan crushing on someone. He fucked up his most important intrapersonal relationship. Who will see him floundering and helpfully offer advice ? Who's got the ego/the balls/ the audacity?
Luo Binghe.
(the sticking point for him is that Yue Qingyuan's success will mean he won't pine after Shen Qingqiu and for that Luo Binghe will do a lot of things)
"Sect leader Yue, look pathetic! Men love their partners being pathetic!"
Yue Qingyuan flashes through numerous of Luo Binghe's pathetic acts from 14 years old up to now.
Luo Binghe,taking his pondering for doubt: Look, I, too doubted Shang Qinghua's wisdom but just look at him!
Their gazes travel across the peaks to Shang Qinghua's leisure house, where he sits on the porch auditioning the peaks while Mobei-jun peels melon seeds for him. Mobei-jun is pathetically inept at this task, his big claws clumsily fumbling with the melon seeds. Everytime he does manage to peel a seed, Shang Qinghua looks up and beams at him lovingly.
Yue Qingyuan turns away before Mobei-jun attempts to cutely handfeed Shang-shidi. There are some things, he's happy to remain ignorant of, his sect siblings' happy marital lives included.
Luo BInghe looks up at him. His eyes are kind of big, his cheeks are puffed up, his lips are weirdly pink. Are that....sparkles?! Yue Qingyuan steps into Luo Binghe's space and grabs him by the lapels when he tries to escape.
"Sparkly fireworks curse." He mutters and throws Luo BInghe over his shoulder, so he can take him to Mu Qingfang without losing precious time.
Half an hour later, he has to woodenly apologize to Luo BInghe as he sobs into Shen Qingqiu's chest.
"There, there. Binghe, Yue-shixiong didn't mean anything bad, he didn't know that your eyes just do that sometime. He actually thought that you were in grave danger." Shen Qingqiu pats the Supreme Emperor of the Demon Realm's head a few more times. Luo Binghe turns his head up. "Really?"
Yue Qingyuan stares at this brazen and shameless display, Shen Qingqiu's blushing, a loving glimmer in his eyes.
Luo Binghe's eyes catch his, see they seem to say, see how it's done.
