Life's too short to even care at all | Drabbles
“Ms. Bones?” She heard her name being spoken softly just as she was about to exit the Entrance Hall for Hogsmeade. Turning, Amelia gave a crooked smile to Dumbedore. It wasn’t all the time that you got a word with the Headmaster. He seemed quite busy on his own.
“What can I do ya for, Headmaster?” Assuming it must’ve been important by the look on his face, she...

I do. You should really watch your words, Amy. You certainly do cut a man deep.
I believe that. I think I made my Da cry before. Though I think that was because it was hard for him to see his little girl go off to Hogwarts. Sometimes I think he wishes I’d been a squib.

lucas-and-clark:
Oh no, it’s too late for that. My hopes and dreams have been crushed, I shall dance no more.
Do you need a tissue to wipe those tears away?
lucas-and-clark:
Well I guess my career as a dancer is out.
Don’t let me soil your hopes and dreams.
lucas-and-clark:
What? Is my dancing that bad?
Yes.

Always glad to be of service, Amy.
Oh, Godric.
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
Thanks, Amelia. you’re a good friend, you know that? I’ll try to do that, yes. It won’t be difficult, with this all. No, I’m sure she’s busy.
Eh, I only know it when I hear it. Thanks, it means a lot. Alright now go dance or something.
lucas-and-clark:
Well then I’ve done my job, haven’t I, Miss Bones?
You have, Mr. Clark.
lucas-and-clark:
Okay, it was kind of cute. Happy now?
Very.
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
It is, really. Having your birthday at school sometimes mean’s it’s overlooked. Which is fine, but… oh, I don’t know where she is, either. Saw her on my birthday, but not since then… anyway.
Yeah, that’s true. But your birthday will never be overlooked while Hestia and I are around. Just have a good time, yeah? You know how 5th year was, she’s probably busy.
lucas-and-clark:
It was…amusing.
Just amusing…?
lucas-and-clark:
If you say so, love. I’ve never quite seen dancing like that.
And how was it?

dirkcresswell:
It ain’t, really. Only today? Well, I’m glad you’re better now, but take it easy, ay?
Right. Mhm, just today. Pomfrey wanted to make sure I really was okay, which I am. Yeah, of course, Dirk!
lucas-and-clark:
Amy, what on earth are you doing?
Dancing!
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
Well, thank you very much. It may be belated, but it’s the best birthday party I’ve had in ages. Really.
Is it really? That’s great. I tried to get your sister here, too, but I have no clue where she is.

lucas-and-clark:
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
How’d you manage to pull all this off, Amelia? It’s very impressive.
With Hestia’s help, of course. All you’ve gotta do is mutter the word party and people come running. I’m happy it turned out this way.
dirkcresswell:
Oh, he prob’ly was, he knows his way to the Hospital Wing too well. Are you okay, now? I didn’ really hear what happened. Oh, ta. I will do.
Dunno if that’s a good thing to know. Oh, yeah, I’m doing alright now. I just got out of the wing today and I feel great. Thank you.
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
I’ll start with one, yes? Go from there?
One step at a time. Sure!
Surprise!
saraphiness:
I could try to find her, if you’d like! Oh dear, can we move the cheese platter?
That would be much appreciated, Sara! Probably best if we did or else Greta’ll eat the whole damn thing.
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
It’s a Friday night, and we’re celebrating, sure… I guess one glass isn’t such a bad idea.
One? Alright, better than nothing. But good! Loosen up! It’s your party!

dirkcresswell:
I dunno, but as far as I know he don’t really know Mafalda or Carey, so I s’pose it makes sense he ain’t here.
I was hoping to see him! I heard he was the one that got Pomfrey for me last week in dueling club. Oh well. Help yourself to food and drinks. Mostly the drinks because I can’t have any evidence when this party is done.
Surprise!
saraphiness:
Actually, I think I’ve spotted her… somewhere… Merlin, I lost her again! Oh, that seems like her, from what I’ve heard.
Oh wait, there she is! Now to find Carey. I sent Greta off to search, but she got distracted by the cheese platter in the corner.
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
I do. I really do. Thanks, Amelia.
It’s no problem. There’s some firewhiskey over there. Want a glass?
dirkcresswell:
Well, sure, but not ev’ryone’s e’en here yet.
Where’s your friend…? What’s his name — Finn?
Surprise!
mousehopkirk:
Amelia! This is all fabulous!
Ah, you like it? Happy belated birthday!
Surprise!
gretacheese:
Of course. It’d be pretty pointless to throw a birthday party without one of the birthday girls.
Thanks, Grets — Greta. Sorry, I know Ed calls you Grets.
dirkcresswell:
Er… sorry. What d’you expect me to do?
Um… socialize?
Surprise!
gretacheese:
No idea… Geez, I hope she’s not sleeping still.
Could you possibly go check?
Surprise!
saraphiness:
Hi, Mia! Have you seen either of the birthday girls? I’ve got to wish them happy birthday.
Heeeeey, Sara. I tried to keep tabs on Mafalda all day but it seems I’ve lost her. As for Carey, no idea where she’d be at. Greta said something about her still sleeping, maybe. I dunno.
dirkcresswell:
Why’re you just standing there?
Surprise!
gretacheese:
It looks great in here.
Thanks, Grettie. Only took me ten minutes, truthfully. Any word on where Carey is?

See you at the party, Betty.

He does have a heart, though. He’s actually a decent bloke. And at least you always know where you stand with him.
No.

But why? Because he’s a drunk narcissist that has no heart.

Barely even those, though. I’m surprised, too. Er, yeah, Halloween. You’re not celebrating it? Why not? He is an arse, but he’s not that bad. You can’t hate him that much if you’re having sex dreams about him. Then again, I don’t blame you. Great. Just what I want.
Well you know what happened last Halloween… Oh, no, Betty. I hate him. Hate him more than anyone. Even...

Definitely, especially now we’ve got properly into the year, but Christmas still feels a way off. Still, there’s next week, as well. It’s good timing. Spawn of Satan? What did he do now? Oh. Well there’ll probably be lots of hype about it soon enough, anyway.
I’m thoroughly surprised we haven’t had a big bash all year, just little parties. It seems we’re...
What does one do when they're no long imprisoned?

Oh, okay, of course. I know, and that must have been about four weeks ago now. It’s way too long, what happened to spontaneous parties in the middle of the week and one basically every fortnight? Oh. Right, when does that happen again?
I’m sure there’s plenty of people who need a breather and a bit of whiskey. Speaking of, I need to get my hands on some....

Better late than never, I’m sure she won’t mind after all you’ve not exactly been able to run off and get a gift. Need help setting up?
I should have went shopping weeks ago. Too late now. Oh, yeah, sure, if you don’t mind.
What does one do when they're no long imprisoned?
bettybraithwaite:
There is? Oh, brilliant! It’s about time we started livening up these Friday nights.
It’s a surprise party, so keep it quiet. Hestia and I thought the same thing. We haven’t had a proper party since Wren’s birthday. And I’d like to do something before quidditch season kicks off.

lucas-and-clark:
Well you’d think that someone would go have fun when no long imprisoned, and I suppose a party would be a good way to do that. So you’d just have to amuse yourself for a couple hours right?
Right! I was going to set up a few things for the party. Need alcohol… um, food! Oh, fuck, I didn’t get Mafalda a present but I suppose I could get one at Hogsmeade and give...

Psst, there’s a party in a couple of hours, too. Don’t let Mafalda or Carey know.

No, it’s asking you do exactly enough. I’m asking you to not go in there and put yourself at risk. You will not be abandoning ship. Not in the slightest, not if you still plan all the meetings. But someone else can hold those meetings for you. And isn’t that what being a president is all about? Delegation and all that crap?
I think we both have managed to make it complicated, in...
