Re: The Astronomy Tower

[Remus Lupin]

"It's okay, Dean." Remus smiles softly at his brother, resting his head on Dean's shoulder. "You're being a big help just being here for me."

[Dean Thomas]

[SORRY!!! I had to run and pick up my mom and it's a blizzard here, so it took a long time!! ]

Dean half smiles. "Well, I'll stay with you as long as you need." Saying that reminded him of when he was comforting Luna. Of course that situation was entirely different than this one. "Or if you need a distraction, I can offer that too." He chuckled as he thought of alcohol, knowing his brother probably wouldn't want that kind of distraction.

[Remus Lupin]

[AH It's okies!!! *huggles* Um...keep the snow over there, okay? *blinks*]

Remus can't really get drunk anyway...so that wouldn't even really work. Ah well. "Oh, mum sent me a camera a few days ago. I think she was hoping picture taking would become some sort of hobby for me or something so I'd get out of the library more often, but we all know that's not going to happen. She asked if I'd send her a picture of us. So we'll have to do that sometime okay? I don't have the camera on me now. And she also said if you don't start writing home at least twice a week she'd send you a howler." Remus grinned. "I told her twice a week might be pushing it, so she agreed that at least once a week was fine."

[Dean Thomas]

Dean laughs at their mother. "Oh boy, I haven't written in a really long time. I'm rather surprised I haven't received a howler yet." He chuckled. "Hmm, that sort of funny she sent you a camera. There is nothing wrong with liking to study." This coming from Dean who has only been in the library 5 times since being back. "Wait, you're going home for Christmas right? You know how emotional mom gets around the holidays.." Dean shuddered.

[Remus Lupin]

Remus' look turns guilty and he looks down at his feet, shaking his head. "Actually...I was thinking about staying here for the holidays. I'm sorry... Dad said it'd be alright...but I'm still a bit nervous about asking mom. She'll probably think I'm going to spend the whole Christmas in the library. Which is only partly true, cause you know that's where I'll end up, but I'm also planning on spending a lot of the break hanging out here with Jack."

[Dean Thomas]

"Awwww maaaaan." Dean sighs. "Well, I suppose it's your choice. I was going to go spend the holidays with Neville maybe, but I know how mum gets. I'm sure she'll be okay with it. We're practically adults now, you more so than me. This will probably be my last Christmas at home for a while too."

[Remus Lupin]

"I'm sure mum'll understand." Remus smiles. "Oh...and about this summer...I can't really explain why, because it's not really my place, but Sirius doesn't really want to go back home so I asked mum if he could spend the summer with us. She and dad said it'd be okay. Is it okay with you? I mean, I'm not even sure if he'll want to now, but if he still does and all.." Remus didn't really want to talk about Sirius at the moment, but he figured he should mention this to Dean sooner rather than later.

[Dean Thomas]

"Yeah! That would be great! Sirius is pretty cool! That will be a fun summer before I'm off on my trip around the world." He nodded and is confused because even though Remus is suppose to be older than Dean, Dean is in a higher grade. Votever, it's AWF, I don't pretend to understand.

[Remus Lupin]

I'm heading off for a while. Don't know if I'll be back again tonight or not. Sorry!! *huggles*

Maybe we should just give up and say that Dean's the older one? Votever. You're right, it's AWF. Things work differently here. "Good, we'll have a fun time." Remus nods. Of course, hopefully by then things'll be better between him and Sirius, so there won't be a lot of awkward moments or votever.

[Dean Thomas]

OTAY!!! BYE!! *flail hugs*

Dean laughs. "Yeah, maybe we can get you to loosen up a bit too!" he chuckled some more. "Let's hope mum and dad will be able to handle three grown boys in the house."

[Remus Lupin]

Sorry I'm just now replying to this Deanilicious!!! Figured I'd at least try before leaving for work. *flailhugs*

"I am perfectly capable of loosening up and having fun." Remus sniffed, shoving Dean's shoulder playfully. "We'll have fun. And I'll make sure mum and dad don't have to go through too much trouble, since they're being so nice and letting him stay in the first place."

[Dean Thomas]

He was pushed back laughing. "Well, I'll need to see proof of that." He chuckled some more. "Mum and dad are usually pretty understanding...when they want to be." Of course there were situations where there mom went a little psycho. Like Remus getting married.

[Ted Tonks]

Ted is up here relaxing because it's one of the few places Tam could find where they could sit. Yep. So Ted is here.

[Parvati Patil]

I have no idea why Parvati is coming to the Astronomy tower but we are just going to pretend like there is some really special reason for this. Yup. So she walks up to the Astronomy tower and she looks very lost and distraught. She walks over to Ted when she sees him and sits down next to him, not saying anything.

[Ted Tonks]

Ted felt someone sit next to him and he looked up from whatever book he was reading, "Hi Par- hey." He put an arm around her shoulders, "Hey what's wrong?"

[Parvati Patil]

Parvati just stared at him with an almost scared expression on her face. "Yesterday...I-I talked to James yesterday." She said staring at him like something really bad happened in this conversation with James.

[Ted Tonks]

Ted kept his arm around her and turned to face her more, his other hand going up to brush her hair back and rest on her cheek, ready to wipe away tears. "What happened? Did he do something to you?" As much as he wanted to leap up and go find James and beat him to a pulp his priority had to be looking after Parvati and making sure she was okay first.

[Parvati Patil]

Parvati looked at him and tried to fight the tears that were coming to her eyes. She was seriously concerned about this. "Well, We were talking yesterday and he, he told me something." She said and took a deep breath. "Something that was about his personal life and was very shocking. Very shocking." She said leaning over towards him and putting her head on his shoulder. "He scared me."

[Ted Tonks]

Ted wrapped both arms around her and pressed a kiss to her temple, "What did he say?" Ted was trying incredibly hard not to jump to conclusions but she was making it very very hard. He hugged her close and rubbed her back gently, he couldn't help her until she explained it to him.

[Parvati Patil]

I am just waiting for Ted to be like. "What did you just say?" When she tells him. Because she is being so ridiculous.

"He told me that--He told me that." She said and took a deep breath. "He told me that he's never had sex before." She said shakily. She could barely say it. It was just too hard to think about.

[Ted Tonks]

Ted stopped moving then he pulled back slightly and raised an eyebrow. "He's a virgin. So what?" He gave a look and brushed her hair back again and smiled slightly at her, "Come on Parv, that isn't so bad. Is there anything else?"

[Parvati Patil]

Parvati stared at him like he was a crazy person when he said that isn't so bad. "What do you mean is there anything else? I said he is a virgin." She said staring at him. "How am I supposed to date a virgin? I don't know how!" She said dramatically.

[Ted Tonks]

Ted rolled his eyes and put his hands on her shoulders, making her face him, "It's not that hard. You just don't have sex after every date. At least not at the start. Do you understand that?"

[Parvati Patil]

Parvati just stared at him and shook her head. "No...How can I do that? Do you realize how long I could be going without sex?" She asked with a very worried expression on her face. "What if I die from it?"

[Ted Tonks]

Ted laughed and pulled her into a hug, "Darling no one dies from lack of sex. I promise." he pressed a kiss to her cheek, "This'll be good for you."
