“I’d much rather be studying art...”
"The Grey Lady smiled at me!"
"Mother always said that to be starry-eyed is to believe in the extraordinary." [OOC: Please be kind, is all I ask.]
*You notice another Ravenclaw student walking around the common room with Monty's belt around his head.*
*Andrew stumbles from his seat and lunges for @ask-andrew-montrose's room with haste. He knows how much Other Andrew would hate to miss another one of his belts.*
I want to lick the cream off your cinnamon buns.
I believe this one is yours, @ask-andrew-larson.
*Looks mournfully at his plate of buns.*
But I didn't add cream this time...
Do I smell cinnamon in here?
*briefly wonders if @ask-andrew-larson recently passed through the corridor*
*Distracted by his plate of kanelbullar which he had made specially for Felix, Andrew gave a heavy gasp of realisation when he registered exactly who he had passed. The speed of his swivel caused a bun to topple from the small pile of pastries which Andrew reflexively caught with his free hand, swaying as he balanced the plate on the other.
Nimbly manoeuvring between the throng of migrating students, he managed to catch up to Sebastian and extended the plate in front of the Slytherin with an artful flourish.*
Sebastian! Would you like to try my buns?
*As the class comes to an end, I stride alongside you as we prepare to leave. With a subtle motion, I curl my index finger repeatedly, silently beckoning you to draw nearer. Bowing down, I whisper softly into your ear, "I made you come with one finger, imagine what I could do with my whole hand."*
*Despite being initially curious, Andrew fell out of step with the student*
*...and slowly backed away.*
What is your favourite season, Andrew dear? :)
*Andrew looked intently at the smiley face at the end of the question before he wriggled in his seat, a grin on his face as he composed a response.*
Spring! Without question, dear friend. *Andrew's smile widened.* My sisters and I used to compete to see who could spot the most baby animals born in the early days of Spring when Winter finally broke.
가슴은 뛰고 있어 / My heart is racing 여전히 널 보고 있어 / I’m still looking at you 자꾸만 숨이 막혀서 / Because I keep running out of breath
This entire song, but
It's gonna be wild it's gonna be real I tell you my friend our scars will heal Bottom to top we run those hills Broaden our minds we’re seeking thrills And I know these days these days will carry on Yeah we hang and fight our sleep till the break of dawn
Erm…Madam Scribner, this musical owl was by the library entrance:
Ah, Mr. Larson. Look at that.
I must have lost it when I finished writing the latest chapter of The Lusty Librarian Maiden: Shush My Lips and Spread the Others.
You should listen to the music, Mr. Larson. It will provide you with great inspiration. Here, you should listen to this as well.
*Andrew lets out a horrified squeak. Help. What has he done?!*
N-no, thank you!
Andrew, how is it that your handwriting is so neat?
I get anxiety looking at my homework.
Love, a secret admirer
*Was it? Andrew brows knotted in confusion as he examined his half-written History of Magic essay strewn on top of a pile of books. He supposed that his roundish penmanship was at least legible.*
Dear calligraphic admirer,
Thank you for noticing the way I write, although I do not think my handwriting warrants admiration. I do write fairly slowly, though, so maybe that is why!
I am sure your homework looks better than you make it out to be! And really, if the Professors can read and mark it, it must be more than satisfactory. Perhaps you should take breaks in between writing? My hand tends to cramp up if I get too engrossed in drawing or scribbling, which certainly does not help.
With inky regards, Andrew
*He conjured a small glass pot and carefully, very slowly, poured half of his walnut brown ink into the container before screwing the lid tightly to send along with his return owl, hoping that whomever this was could one day admire their own penmanship in the same way that they do his.*
Dear Andrew,
Roses are red, Violets are blue Do you mind If I run next to you?~
Joking, of course, I don't run (there is a small doodle of a boy looking suspiciously like a certain prefect sticking his tongue out). But Happy Valentine's Day nonetheless! I got you some Jelly Slugs and Crystallised Pineapple, mostly because people don't really trust chocolates on this holiday anymore. Hope you're spending today with somebody lovely~
Simply a friend, William
P.S. I'd also like to talk about the whole "running away" thing because at this point it is rather obvious I am not pursuing you or anyone else for that matter.
*Andrew, although apprehensive at first to find an owl from The Prefect, is pleasantly surprised, especially after his eyes landed on the generous gift of sweets. With one hand already rummaging in the bag of jelly slugs, he dipped his quill into the ink pot and started to write:*
Dear Mr William,
Thank you for the kind gift, and Happy Valentine’s Day! I will be sure to share some of these with Other Andrew since I know how much he appreciate gifts from you.
As for running, we don’t have to! I would happily go for a walk with you if you would prefer that instead. Or a broom ride! I’ve not flown with you other than on the pitch and you are a fantastic flier.
Very gratefully, Andrew
P.S. Okay.
After you finish reading a paragraph aloud, Professor Ronen claps his hands enthusiastically. "Splendid reading, Mr. Larson! I ought to give 10 points to Ravenclaw!" He pauses and reaches into his pocket with a twinkle in his eye.
"But instead," he says, placing an unwrapped lemon drop on your desk, "have a lemon drop!" Professor Ronen smiles warmly at Andrew.
*The delight Andrew had felt at being praised morphed into a dejected sort of longing as he stared at the lemon drop, Sebastian’s advice ringing clearly in his mind.*
