Re: A Perfect Place for a Picnic

*Hermione's jolted out of her little fit by Nikki's presence. She leans into the hug, but slowly starts to calm down and wipes her face with the sleeve of her jumper. What the hell is wrong with her, anyway, that she has a complete meltdown over a stupid bloody letter!? Taking a few deep breaths, she works on composing herself enough to speak.*

Hey Nikki. Thanks...

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 1:19 am

"Don't worry about it. Crying is healing. I once heard a saying, 'Behind each tear is a laugh waiting to happen.' So, cry it out, and then if you want, we can talk."

**Remus Lupin** April 19th 2010, 1:20 am

[OMFG HERMS IS CRYING?! WHY DIDN'T I SEE THIS EARLIER? *flails angrilly at himself for being a terrible fiance* HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HERMS HI! I LOVE YOU AND WOULD COME DOWN BUT I'M IN THE HW PLAYING MONOPOLY OR SOMETHING WITH DEE AND JOEL.]

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 1:25 am

[bahaha Remikins you're so cute. Imma write you a letter in the letter thread in a sec!]

*She sniffles and thinks she likes that saying, and finally calms down*

Thanks again. I'm just a bit all over the place right now. I think I'm coming down with something, and on top of that I'm just dealing with a letter from my parents that really upset me.

**Remus Lupin** April 19th 2010, 1:26 am

[OMR OMR YAY! *flails happily*]

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 1:28 am

"You're sick? I bet if you go to the Infirmary, you might be able to find something. or, if you are like me and hate to take potions, why not try to eat lots of vitamins and get lots of sleep? And for your parents' letter, what did they say? I am sure they know how amazing and responsible you are, so I doubt they meant to hurt you..." Nikki smiled at Mya, and conjured up a lavender scented handkerchief.

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 1:36 am

*takes the hanky gratefully and dabs at her eyes*

I just don't think I could stand the sight of the Hospital Wing right now - I'm sure it's just a stomach flu, it'll pass in a day or so. My parents just... I wrote to them to tell them about Remus, and I don't think I could've gotten a more offensive reply. Well, I suppose they could've disowned me. But they just kept harping on about how young we are and implied that we don't know what we want, or each other, and that we should just worry about studying for now. It was like they didn't even know who they were talking to!

[I have dinner now, I reply in a little! Sorry to leave you hanging! Stupid life necessities like eating...]

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 2:15 am

[no worries Very Happy

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 2:17 am

Nikki hugged Mya again. "Maybe if you act as... not rationally, but calmly as possible in your letter, explaining everything, they will understand? I mean, imagine if you were a mom, and you get a letter out of the blue saying your kids is getting married. How would you feel? Maybe they are worried about it not lasting, and you getting hurt. Just give them an explanation of how everything happened, not the sordid details of course, but enough that they understand this is real."

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 2:21 am

*She shifts uncomfortably. That was so rational, so sensible. Why didn't she see it for herself, instead of jumping right off the deep end? She blushes a little*

Well, that would probably be more productive than the Howler I was contemplating sending, I suppose. Although a Howler would make me feel better!

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 2:25 am

Nikki smiles. "Here, I'll make you a deal. Make the angriest Howler you want, and send it to me. This way you get rid of any left over anger. Then, once all that is out, write the nice sensible letter. This way, you can do both. And if they are still being insensible to the truth, I shall go pay them a visit."

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 2:41 am

[sorry, distracted Sad

]

*She bursts out laughing*

Thanks. I think I'll pass on the Howler though. Wouldn't want to damage your ears. I'll let them know if I need you to pay them a visit though!

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 2:43 am

Nikki was happy she got Mya to laugh. "I would. I am very persuasive when I want to be." She started to hum The Cell Block Tango.

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 2:53 am

*hugs Nikki again, but suddenly feels another wave of nausea hit her.*

Oh... I'm not feeling so great. I think I will head up to the Hospital Wing, you know...
Thanks again, Nikki, I really needed that hug!

*gets to her feet and wanders back towards the castle*

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 2:56 am

Nikki sat there and watched Mya leave. She bit her lip, worried about her new friend. She hoped everything would turn around, that Mya would feel better, that her parents would accept her choice but something deep down nagged at her. She crossed her fingers and wished for all of this to come true.

[THIS IS MY 3005 POST! WHOO! I DIDN'T NOTICE MY 3000, SO I AM CELEBRATING THIS ONE INSTEAD!]

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 2:57 am

[*throws confetti* YAY NIKKI!]

Nikki Orwell April 19th 2010, 3:01 am

[I LOVE YOU MYA!]

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 10:12 pm

*Her feet carry her here of their own accord while Hermione is lost in thought. She sits down, vaguely thinking she's spent a lot of time in this little clearing lately, and sighs. Could she really be...?*

**Draco Malfoy** April 19th 2010, 10:13 pm

*Tam walked by and saw Mya sitting there. Cuddling Hashbee she walked over and sat next to her* Knut for your thoughts

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 10:15 pm

*She snorts, then smiles*

How many lifetimes you got to listen? Ah, s'pose I'll start at the start. I wrote my parents to tell them about Remus and it, erm, didn't go so well.

**Draco Malfoy** April 19th 2010, 10:18 pm

What? What did they say? Nothing nice I suppose.... *mutters* your mom never was the most accepting person...

**Molly Prewett** April 19th 2010, 10:21 pm

*Narrowing her eyes, seeing the truth in Tam's statement, Hermione shoves her hand in her pocket and pulls out the crumpled paper she's still carrying around - she knows she has to answer, but she's still to emotional over the whole thing to put quill to parchment just yet. She shoves the paper under Tam's nose*

Read for yourself. Nikki had to talk me out of sending a Howler...

Dear Hermione,
We’re glad you’re well and keeping up with your studies. We’re also very glad you’ve made some new friends and met a nice boy. We expect to meet him over the summer, naturally. But sweetheart, we’re concerned about this so-called engagement. I’m sure Remus is lovely and you think you’re very much in love right now, but you’re both so young. Have you really thought it through? How well do you really know this boy? You’ve never mentioned him, you can’t have known him all that long. It takes time to get to know people properly, and this is not a decision to be taken lightly. Also, why do you not see Harry and Ron anymore? You three used to be inseparable. We do hope you’re not abandoning the people who have stood by you for years for these new friends .
Of course we will support you in your decisions and we will always love you, but we do hope you’ll consider our advice. Maybe you two should focus on your studies – your final year is a big year at any school and we know you’ll regret it if you don’t give your studies the attention they deserve.
All our love, darling. And do write home more often.
Love,
Mum and Dad

**Draco Malfoy** April 19th 2010, 10:25 pm

*Tam read it quickly then lept to her feet and started pacing* that no good bitch. who the fuck is she to fucking judge Remus? And YOU! *she glanced down and saw Mya's face and Hashbee* I'm... sorry... *she sat down next to her and gave her a hug* Is that it? I mean....... is there anything else?

**Remus Lupin** April 19th 2010, 10:28 pm
