~18th Dance~

Thank you for the book, Professor Bainbridge. I'll make sure I look over it this summer, so I don't make the same mistake on the NEWT next year.

73 days total.

23 days at camp.

50 days left. And then there's the trip through France with Matthew, we can give that...two weeks, or so. That's 14 days, so that makes 36 left. A little over a month. I wonder if that will be enough time.

...I guess it'll have to be.

Sorry, but you know I'm not a very good at being mean. [ ... usually. ]

I'll try my best, Mademoiselle Lili.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I like you that way.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

Thank you uh I like you

a lot and-

[ ink blots and yeah, he's awkward ]

Private

Matthew, I'm your girlfriend now, remember? You don't have to be embarrassed.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

...well I'm lucky you're so patient with your idiot boyfriend, Lili, because I like you quite a bit.

As you've already surmised.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

You're lucky I'm patient? I thought I would have scared you off a long time ago.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

You've never scared me! You've elicited plenty of other ...emotions, but you've never scared me...

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I was sure that I did. Congratulations, Matthew, you seem to be a special case.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

It's been a pleasure to be one.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Matthew...sometimes you make me wonder why I'm not on top of you.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

Lili, I'm sorry, but that's really not fair of you to say when I'm:

1) Physically away from you, and
2) In public.

[ BAD HANDWRITING, awesome. ]

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

That's very interesting, but I've never been particularly concerned about fair~

Besides, that's easily fixable.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

So I've realized.

....true.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

...so. I don't have an exam on Tuesday, so tomorrow's my last day. Do you have any plans for after the tests?

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

... no, not really. Tomorrow's my last day as well. Petey said something about me owing him a swim, but all I had planned was sleeping and spending some time with you maybe if you wanted??

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

You should go swimming with your brother, then. That won't take all day, and I'll still be around.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

If he's not still grumpy at me, that is...

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Why would he be mad at you?

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

Uh, he's sour that Al and I are heading off to France for two weeks without him. I promised to spend the rest of the summer with him, buthe doesn't want to be alone with dad.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

If he doesn't want to be around your father, isn't there somewhere else he could stay?

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

There is! He's still sour about about his big brothers leaving him, though.

...sorry, all this must make my father sound awful, but he really does lowork hard for us.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

He's family, you should do something to make it better...

It's alright, Matthew.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

I am. I'm trying. I've promised him candy and toys and to take him places, and I've apologized and I know how lonely it can get in that house, but...

Sorry, I'll just try harder.

Private

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Would it be...out of the question to take him along? Only for a couple days, I mean. There's a beach near Nice he'd probably like. It's magic-only, so it doesn't get too crowded...

If you wouldn't mind, he's your brother.

Private

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

You really wouldn't mind? He loves the sea, so a couple of days would be enough to make him happy...
