You may be excited, but I do not not want to speak with him.

[Ouch.]

I said I was sorry. You don't seriously mean to hold a grudge forever, do you?

[Pot, kettle?]

You're alone there, and I won't have my magic. Not at first. We'll need one another, Lily. For company, if nothing else.

[Excuse him while he cackhandedly wheedles for her attention.]

[back_off_toerag]

That is precisely what I mean to do. An apology means nothing if you do not act on it.

Just because you are not there does not mean I am alone. I can get along just fine without you.

[endingupdead]

That - I didn't -

[He flounders, indignant and caught red-handed all at once. Baring his teeth in a disgusted snarl she probably can't see, he spends a moment trying to put thoughts into words.]

That isn't what I meant. There aren't any of our kind there; surely you miss having kindred spirits, even if it's only me.

[Goodness, that was bitter.]

[back_off_toerag]

Didn't what, Severus? I am sorry, truly I am, but on this I cannot negotiate.

I am not the only one who practices magic, if that's what you mean. And if you still don't understand what is wrong in believing that only those who do can be kindred spirits, then you cannot understand why I can not, and will not, accept your apology.

Sorry for threadjack, had to have him say it. From an AU where Harry was raised as Dick Grayson.

[dickandharry]

That's a a little hypocritical for you of all people to be saying, doncha think?

Threadjack away!

[back_off_toerag]

[Woops, he really does look like his dad at first glance]

James Potter, the last thing I need your intervention. Kindly go away.

Re: Threadjack away!

[dickandharry]

Actually I'm not James Potter. Technically speaking, I am a Potter. just, y'know, Harry Potter. I've gone by Dick Grayson since I was one though.

[endingupdead]

Stay out of this, you insufferable, arrogant prat. No one asked you.

[dickandharry]

Oh for Pete's sake...

I'm not James Potter. I mean, I still think you're a jerk, but that's your fault.

[idkworldruler]

Isn't that a bit cold?

[back_off_toerag]

It very well may be, but I can't afford to be anything less.

[idkworldruler]

You could just ignore him all together and not waste your words.

[back_off_toerag]

[...]

[back_off_toerag]

That would be sensible, now wouldn't it?

[girlfriend_beyond]

Lily? Who might be coming?

[back_off_toerag]

Severus. My frie-

[Oh.

Right.]

The boy I told you about before.

[girlfriend_beyond]

Oh. You mean the one who cares more about being accepted by a racist gang than his friendship with you?

[greeneyedoe]

Let me take a wild guess...

1/3

[back_off_toerag]

By all means.

2/4 I lied.

Are you-

You-



Have you...I? been meddling in time spells?

[marauderingly]

If this is about your bra, we already told it was clearly a misunderstanding. Peter nearly wet himself when he found out it was yours and James is ready to pitch himself off the Astronomy tower in a fit of shame and dishonor and unrequited love and probably indigestion if you keep refusing to talk to him. An insult--even a death threat!--would be welcome at this point or I might kill him myself just to shut him up.

[back_off_toerag]

[Normally, she'd point out that it wasn't James she was talking about, but. Nope, it applies to James too.]

I think the latter would be the most viable solution.

[marauderingly]

I know he's pathetic, Evans, but can't you just...you know, humor him a bit?
