[Private to Jules]

If you still want to know, everything's going to be fine. We're getting everything worked out.

Thank you for allowing me to invade your room for the last couple of weeks.

[Private to Alfred]

Is that offer still valid? I'm not going home yet.

Goodbye, Hogwarts. It's been wonderful. Even after everything, I'm glad I moved here from Beuxbatons. I'll miss it.

Good luck next year, Slytherin. And thank you for the yearbook votes. I'm flattered.

I thought you might have more to say than that, although it's all right if you don't.

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Is there something specifically that you must know?

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

Yes, although it's not quite related to the situation: what will you be doing after you've left Hogwarts?

[That could mean right now or as a career, so it's a safe question.]

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I thought we talked about this? I haven't decided yet.

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

Have we? I'm sure you have some plans.

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Yes, I told you I don't like making plans, and I'm not going to decide what to do with the rest of my life when I'm seventeen.

[He told you they meant different things. '^']

Will you be going on the school trip, then? Or do you plan to decide that the minute before as well?

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not going.

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

That's also planning for the future, you realize. I hope you enjoy your time with your father.

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to be with him.

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

But you just said that things were going well between the two of you.

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I said that they would be. We've spoken via owl.

It's not like you to avoid your father after such a long time of not seeing him.

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm not avoiding him. I told him that I can't come to see him until he can be proud of me.

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

[He must admit that that's kind of noble. It's still avoiding, though.]

That could take years if you don't have any plans.

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing, Jules.

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

It's the truth. I mean it as nothing more than a statement of fact.

[And at least one of them is telling the whole truth. '^']

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I didn't need it.

[private]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

You needn't listen to me.

[private]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I know.
