Another very interesting chapter! Bee's comment about Rose Weasley being a secret mean girl was so great, I love that Bee is honest about the way she is, while you can understand how someone like Rose probably thinks they're nothing like that, when maybe they are a bit. I also thought it was brilliant the way you're expanding Bee's hold on the students of Hogwarts, like having a group of Hufflepuff's completeing tasks for her that she should clearly be doing herself, like homework! haha She's such a fun character to follow, and the way her mind works is captivating to be inside of.
Albus is having a bit of a rough time still, but he hasn't panicked in a few weeks, at least! The scene with James was my favorite, it was so spot on for siblings when they aren't the closest and one enjoys picking on the other. The line about Albus going to another "sad session" with Nevillie just seemed so perfectly fitting for the tone of relationship you've established, because presumably that is not what those are called, but leave it to James to belittle Albus with it by naming it something that feels humiliating. Really great work!
Hi hi! This is so much, what a great first chapter!
You OC is so great. I love the rich, mean girl vibe she gives off, the way her mind thinks as she tries to protect her image - something clearly very important to her - and the fact that she has a lot of self-awareness, because she knows her attempts to manipulate with a pout or a smile are actual manipulations, and she owns it. She understands the power she has and the status she holds. I feel that normally this type of character is either the bad guy or a secondary character, so having her front and center is such a fun and interesting choice. And then of course we get to see a softer side to her as well, so we know there's more to her than 500 galleon handbags and 5 inch stilettos! LOL
Albus as an unpopular nerd is another really unique choice. I like how bold you chose to be with your characters. It sounds like James is popular, but somehow Albus has missed the cool gene and is instead a walking accident suffering with panic attacks, poor thing. That was a nice moment between the two, though, that when she realized what was happening, she actually shifted focus from herself to him until he came down from it. It's also a cute plot point to have her help him to save her future handbags! haha
I'm also intrigued to know what happened to her that caused her to have to leave school for two weeks, but also needs to be kept secret or it may have a big impact on her social standing. Something with money loss in the family, perhaps? Anyway, great job, I'm excited to read more!
Oh my gawsh these meetings are insane! I'm so glad Bee stood up for herself though and shedded that skin of "popularity protection" that she obtained while being with Ethan. She will be much better off in the long run without him!
So fighting is never cool and I will never condone fighting, but omg this made me laugh out loud: "Lou had just hit Weasley's head into the ground with a three thousand galleon handbag. Ouch."
And it seems like in addition to Ethan, Bee might be outgrowing Lou as well. Which is sad, but it happens all the time. People either grow with you or away from you and I see that starting to happen in this chapter.
Oh no! And for all that has built up between Al and Bee, we now see it torn apart! I mean given how this chapter opened up, I had a feeling there might be conflict between these two. But ahh...it still hurt to read!
~ Courtney
This was such a great chapter! Again the way you make me care so much for these characters truly shows your ability to create complex characters worth rooting for. Bee's whole "I don't wanna be a mean girl," anymore, but then engaging in SOME aspect of "mean girl-ism" with Rose Weasley is believable. People don't just change magically overnight, not even in the HP universe. Also, I feel like Rose is being a bit...much...and since Bee believes she did the lesser of two evils by bringing up Scor that is not a judgment against Bee, just an observation of where her character is headed. So well done with that whole exchange!
Ahhh Tammi is the Hufflepuff! I do like that Tammi and Bee might become friends of a sort. :)
And the party was both chaotic and fun to read. Ethan seems like an emotional manipulative narcissist, so yeah, I can see why he had to go.
The bit with Al was sweet! There is something so peaceful and romantic about stargazing. And ahhh...she told him about her Mum! I really like how you are building up their relationship into this secretively meaningful thing. I just wonder how the rest of the world will react whenever they do cross that line. Or even, how they will react! ;)
I'm glad Neville and Al are mending fences a bit and that they'll be going back to playing chess together.
Great job!
~ Courtney
Abbi! Diving back into Warpaint for the review event!
And I have to say, I definitely missed this story! Your characterization, the world building, it's all very well done! I also like how you describe places as a way of really setting the mood. I noticed this particularly with your depictions of the Owlery and how it makes Bee feel and why she ends up there when she needs a bit of peace. Also, the argument with Lou and how you give yourself over to someone so much that you also give them the power to hurt you was so palpable!
Bee's admission to a total(ish) stranger than then snuggling the cat because she is so starved for contact made my heart ache for her. Poor girl has real trauma and tries to disguise it in the only way she knows how.
Lol Lily's family bet book had me laughing to myself. That is a brilliant little side plot and feels totally Weasley in itself.
Ooh a Malfoy reconciliation! I wonder if we will hear about how that goes and all once Scor and Al get together again after the holidays. I can also relate to the notion of "big family's are great, but overwhelming," so I definitely feel for Al in this situation. You show that he loves his family, but he needs his space and that quiet time to recharge.
And uh oh, Al's catching feelings for Bee! That end scene was cute with them just chilling, kind of like Al wants to do over the holidays!
This was a great chapter!
~ Courtney
Hiiii! I'm here for our swap <3
I love how susensful and mysterious is right from the get-go. There's something that happened but we don't know what it is but Bee doesn't want anyone to know about it so I'm going to venture and say it was something pretty rough?
Bee comes off a little cold. She's rude to McGonagall (albeit, not outwardly) but I'm actually a big fan of characters that are multi-layered and I have a feeling there's a lot more to Bee than what we are initially seeing. She wants to be Quee Bee, but because she craves the control/stability of it, which is an intersting take of things.
The clear answer is I am a walking disaster, yes. Awe, Albus. How quickly I've fallen in love with you. Unlike Bee, he's very aware of how completely out-of-control he is but he seems to be bringing out the best in her, and I enjoyed her being genuinely sweet and kind to him.
Why is everyone personal friends with my parents? Lol, I felt that.
This was such a wonderful first chapter. Very intriguing for sure. I am lookig forward to more. <3
Love, Quilly.
Hi Abbi! Here for our review swap!
I love a good chess match scene. And while Bee and Al already have this tentative friendship thing going on between them, I like that the chess match really brings out more of it. I also like that while Bee is chilling in the arms of another, albeit they are strictly platonic at present, she's thinking about Al. And then again, her motivations for the prank change this chapter.
Pink coconut cocktails sound like the kind of drink I would've had as a teenager. I want to know more about it and if there's anything magical to do with it!
Poor Rose! Some of her earlier tendencies make more sense now. She doesn't get along great with her dormmates, but she's always had her grades. And now that this one is starting to slip, so is her resolve. Poor girl. I'm glad she has Al as a sounding board. He seems like the perfect person to confide in on this particular matter.
And ahhh he's a writer! How cool! And like a typical teenage writer, he is self-conscious about it. But it totally makes sense because it's Bee. I like that she doesn't chide him, but compliments him on his writing. And then she reveals something about herself in the process, which is a great way to slowly develop her character.
I'm really enjoying the progression of this story. I think you capture the teenage voice and antics very well. I look forward to reading more!
<3 Courtney
abbi!! here for our swap <3
huge congrats on finishing warpaint, that's a big accomplishment and definitely something you should be proud of. and endings can be so tricky to get right, to figure out how to wrap up something you've worked on for so long, but you've done such a great job here
honestly, it sort of gives me the end of mean girls vibes, where everyone's sitting around the school yard and talking about how much had changed - at least the part where they're all at the lake, and bee finally beats albus at chess. i love how she really credits the victory to him, though - it's little moments and comments like these that show how bee has changed for the better, and while there are still comments and moments sprinkled throughout the chapter that remind us that the past isn't just quickly forgotten, there's hope for a better future
and i love that bee decided to create the foundation in honor of her mother and have lavendar be a part of it - and that she saw her mom's face in the crowd (and so did her dad). it was a really touching moment and i'm glad that he was there by her side and told her that he was proud of her <3
and on the flipside, i love that albus and the potters are still going to therapy and still working through things on their own. it shows that healing is a long process but progress can be made, and it's nice seeing james and albus getting along - slowly but surely. almost like they can eventually all move on and be in a good place family-wise and it's beautiful
and and and the final scene where everyone's together again - all the friends, and bee's new and improved friend group - and are anxiously waiting to meet everyone's parents as a significant other... you did a great job of handling everyone's nerves but letting them all joke about it at the same time and it felt like a group of kids coming home from school and looking forward to a bright future ahead, and it's nice to see everyone excited for their last year at hogwarts
this was a delightful story from start to finish, and you really nailed bee and albus' characters. congrats again on finishing this, and thanks for the swap <3 <3
abbi! here with your review ♥
i loved this so chapter so much. it was great to see bee and james finally having their necessary conversation, and i loved that bee had different names for the different versions of james; like she doesn't really know how to interact with him but she remembers james, her friend, and sort of talks to her that way. and the fact that james immediately wants to help lou makes me feel like maybe there's some substance to their relationship, something i hadn't really assumed until now. but it's clear james cares about her and i'm glad bee's still going to be her friend, keeping some distance and some boundaries will be healthy but in the end, i'm glad they'll still have each other and i hope lou can recover. their hug was very sweet, too, and this alone shows how much bee has changed
and then we get bee and albus! fucking finally!!! ugh, i love that they're so perfect in each other's eyes and the fact that bee doesn't believe he's a mess is pretty swoon-worthy, imo. we can see why albus thinks he's a mess himself but she doesn't care and loves him anyway and oh my goodness, my heart melted a little bit at their confession scene, i love them and i'm so glad they're getting the happy ending they both deserve
and bee and tammi! love it! i didn't even make the connection that scorpius is the guy she's talking about until the very end, but oh my goodness, i love it. also apparently 'oh my goodness' is the catchphrase of this review, who knew :P
albus getting scorpius and rose to talk reminded me a bit of that scene with lou and how she tried to get bee and ethan back together. but we stan friends supporting friends, and i love rose's maturity here; you can tell she just wants her friend back and we love to see that. and i love the little mentions of the war, and of hermione keeping journals - albus is right, she really is a journal person, haha
and the endddd of this chapter is just :( so wholesome, i love them walking into the great hall and going to the hufflepuff table. it feels like they're just turning over a new chapter for them and i'm very excited to see where this goes
ugh, i'm so happy things are all going well and secrets are out in the open (and bee's characterization has always made sense, but it especially makes sense after we find out how her mum died, how fucking awful) and just, ugh. i love it. here for this fluffified chapter and i'm very hopeful that it's going to be a happy ending for these two idiots :)
♥
Hiya Abbi! Here for our review swap!
I really like how you took the time to show us different friend dynamics in this group in the opening. I get the sense that Bee's relationship to Lou is a bit more intimate than the one she has with Madi. And that she feels almost annoyed by Ethan's constant presence. I mean, I would too. It also adds to this whole mystery as to why they don't go anywhere alone. What happened to instate that rule among them, I wonder?
Bee's dynamic with Al is interesting. It's almost like she doesn't want to be the "queen bee," with this "bad b*tch," reputation, but like, she also enjoys it to a degree, and that duality within her is just intriguing to me. I sense she's on the verge of some major character development and you're about to show us more about that happens throughout this story.
I wonder if she had a major anxiety attack as part of her reason for leaving school (though why if that's the case, I am curious) and sees that part of her personality in Al, and that's why she's sort of taking him on as her project. That's definitely a coping mechanism for some people with mental disorders as a way to not have to focus on themselves. So if that's the route you're going, I find it very realistic.
Really enjoyed Ginny's letter. I loved the tiny detail about her cooking and the mild threat of "no time to complain because Nana's cooking." And I wonder what Molly did last Christmas to land her and by extension, her father, into Weasley family drama. :eyes about that:
I am with Al about outdoor sporting events when you aren't really a fan. But the fact that he's showing up because it's important to other people in his immediate group, shows that he's a gem of a human being. <3
The inclusion of a Muggle device like a cell phone in the Wizarding World...I wonder when you envision that happening, since in the 90s it's very obvious that basic things like electricity haven't caught on. But I like it, for sure! My overactive brain just asked that question most inconveniently LOL.
That ending was very cute between Al and Bee with the secret code name. It's even made funnier after reading your chatfic, so I thoroughly enjoyed that.
Another great chapter!
<3 Courtney
Hi Abbi, here for our review swap!
First of all, I think you display irony in such a meaningful way in this opening sequence. For Bee to recognize that Ethan suffers from overconfidence and dismissing it as "no big deal," but then to take issue with Rose's arguably perceived overconfidence (that's how I read her character) was amusing to me. Again, I think it shows her bias and where her loyalties lie. She's fine with Al Potter though, in spite of his famous family. But it feels like she's fine with him because he's someone she can dominate whereas Rose feels like she's on equal footing with Bee, and she's not about that. It also furthers this whole idea that Rose is alone in the dormitory because she doesn't fall into line and automatically follow Bee like the other girls do. Which kind of makes me feel a little sad for her to be honest. If she is a little high and mighty, I feel it's sort of a defense mechanism because she's living in this tense environment where people already don't like her, so it's almost like why try, if they don't want her in their group.
But again I think you show the duality in Bee's personal beliefs quite well...teenagers are full of contradictions. I mean humans in general, but I think teenagers have this attitude about them where they think they're the only ones who feel a certain way. Adults know otherwise, but can still be full of contradictions. Anyway, I digress.
Haha, classic high school mean girl with the "homework helping." My poor Hufflepuffs. Good thing I'm not in this fic, I'd do nothing for keeping the peace between these inner house relations haha.
But also, omgawsh how awful to be the kid of someone notorious and your name in the newspaper like that. Though I suppose Bee's used to it and outwardly seems to enjoy that level of notoriety and attention. But I suspect there's more going on with her on the inside and you're about to show us through the course of this story.
"I've managed to annoy myself with the fictional situation now." LOLZ that whole fictitious scenario was amusing and also totally relatable. Who doesn't envision other scenarios that other people handle better than yourself? Ok well, maybe there are some people, but I totally relate to Al on that score.
It's also relatable to feel like you have nothing in common with key members of your family. I really liked this additional insight into Al and all of his familial relationships. I can see how this will cause some future drama for Al and his budding attraction to Bee.
Well done and thanks for the swap!
<3 Courtney
abbi! here with your review ♥
this was a complicated chapter, but you did such a great job of weaving through the messy relationships
i'm glad bee finally had that conversation with lou, and that she did it because of albus, but i think on some deeper level she had to have it for herself, too. i knew something major was hanging onto lou but i wasn't expecting that, but it makes so so much sense. it definitely makes me sympathsize with her, but i'm glad you didn't use it to make an excuse for the rest of her behavior. bee knows she's out of control (lou, that is) and that lou needs to change and is willing to be there to support her, but lou needs to do it for herself, too. i know bee doesn't like to think that she changed, but i don't think past!bee would've had the strength or courage necessary for that conversation and i'm really proud of her for that
i also loved the comments about her shoes and her stockings - i'm not sure why, they were just funny and made her even more relatable. i've always loved that you've included small details like that, like her favorite pair of shoes or her favorite handbag to make her all the more human
ooh, is this the beginning of a rose/bee friendship? or at least an alliance?? i'm glad rose was mature enough to not start a fight with bee when she's clearly upset and i'm vaguely curious to see how that's going to go
oh nooooo, harry and ginny have to be involved, poor albus :( i do sort of want to strangle lou for starting all of this, although i'm glad bee did her part to try and fix it. i totally get albus' frustration with her short, vague answers and i'm glad he pushed for more but I CAN'T BELIEVE HE TOLD HER HE LOVED HER!!! I'M SQUEALING BUT ALSO JUST WANT TO HUG HIM BECAUSE :( THAT'S NOT HOW IT SHOULD'VE BEEN!!! he's already beating himself up over it and i just want to hug him, but i'm also proud of him because he can kind of put that to the side and focus on his family
i really love the idea of the potters going to family therapy and i'm very excited that we actually get to see some of it. SO many emotions in this section, ugh - poor james. but it also makes a ton of sense and i'm glad albus is starting to look at him a little bit differently. poor harry, too :( i'm pleased to see him open up, though - both him and ginny probably really need this so i'm glad they're actually going to make use of it
another excellent chapter, dear! and nooo, i'm so close to the end :(

Abbi,
‘The mark of a good writer is always leaving your audience wanting more’. Well said and in this case, self-referential. You are so talented.
Bee owned that stand-off in the hall. She’s doing it for all the right reasons, but in the end it’s going to backfire on her. People *are* going to find out about her and Albus. Her feeling sick about being ‘old’ Bee was nicely done too.
And now everything is awkward. Their behavior and absence almost makes me think something happened between Rose and Scorpius. And there it is… Wow, Rose’s bomb drop seems pretty heavy-handed. Hell hath no fury…
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
She did send the letter. You sort of left that as a cliffhanger in the last chapter and I half thought she was going to sit on it instead. I’m assuming Al’s response asked her to floo by for a chat? Oh…unrelated - they are going to a New Years Party for James. Took me a minute to catch on.
Apparently Bee is a dumbass because she was going to Potter’s house and didn’t realize that Al lived there. Funny. And a dumbass again because she’s going to walk away, isn’t she?
That bonding moment between Albus and Harry was well done. I can only imagine the buried trauma and challenges that they have all been dealing with.
It turns out Albus didn’t end up being the disaster. I’m glad he got to enjoy the show instead.
(Continuing from second paragraph above). Yes, yes she is.
Or maybe….
(Wonderful cliffhanger here)
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
I love the idea of places being ‘emotionally dangerous’. That’s a really clever and thoughtful idea.
Her emotional (and physical) distance from her father are telling. He really doesn’t know how to handle his emotions or his relationship with his daughter and there’s tragedy there. I can see how you put the effects of that into Bee’s reaction to him showing up on Christmas Eve.
Bee’s attempt at rectification could go really well or really horribly. Since we’re only halfway through the story, I’m betting on the latter.
A ‘quiet but slightly awkward Christmas’. LOL who could ask for anything more? Instead, Albus is really uncorking here. Something tells me he normally doesn’t stand up for himself like this and it’s scary to see that situation he’s put in with Harry and Ginny. That was a really powerful close to the chapter.
Ah - the reason for the HOM notes - thanks for that.
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
An adjudicated breakup? Hysterical!
Oh shit. Rose is trying to be a good friend here, but this is going to end badly. Very. Badly. Yep, there it goes.
Bee is denying Albus and that is going to end badly. Very. Badly. Albus already knows she’s ashamed to be seen with him, so the cutoff is going to be rough on him. (Drew gets to end of chapter) Yep, there it goes.
I really like how you *almost* drew them together and then smashed this barrier down between them. It’s really a wonderful slow-burn maneuver and I’m in awe of your ability to tease us through this relationship. Two steps forward, two steps back. You’re dancing with us.
Question - how does Scorpius know that “Eleanor” is Bee? I’m assuming he’s either been told or figured it out on his own.
Warm butterbeer is amazing (had some at Universal…so good.)
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
I love how Albus is Bee’s ‘safe space’. It’s where she doesn’t have to worry about facade or impressions or anything else. She can let her guard down completely. However…I can see trouble brewing with her being unable to make the friendship ‘public’.
I was wondering when you’d get to the part where she severs the relationship with Ethan. Knew it was coming though… And there are the egos…
Her confession to Albus was great. I knew that ‘it’ had to come across at some point. Why not when she’s polluted?
I wonder what prompted James not being an asshat to his brother. It seems like something that he wouldn’t do, but maybe there’s more going on there.
I laughed out loud at Albus seeing the James shrine in Rose’s dormroom.
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
I think Bee’s overreaction to Al dating Brenda surprised her as much as it surprised Madi.
You also have the theme of Bee being so freaking *tired* of it all. Pretending to be someone she’s not, all the work with staying perfect, the exhausting friend maintenance as they break up with their boyfriend for the third time…
Oh…a little glimpse of ‘it’. And then we have it. Yeah…that’s some heavy shit. And she and her dad are just trying to bury it under everything else. No wonder she cried into a cat. Who wouldn’t?
They bet on the holiday disaster and everyone bets on Molly. Too funny.
Having Scorpius see right through Albus is a good check on him. It keeps him honest. His perspective of Bee is different, because he didn’t know her before her mom died. His first impression of her is her breaking out of the old shell.
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
The j-lou portmanteu is great. Normally, I hate those things, but this one was very clever.
This chapter seems to be about transition, as if both of them are in a chrysalis, changing on the inside. Bee is quiet and reserved, not taking control of the planned Slytherin prank and wishing she was somewhere else. Meanwhile, Al is standing up for himself, pushing back against Brenda.
It’s interesting how much attention you’ve given to how people feel about others’ opinions. Rose can’t have anyone know she got a ‘C’ on a paper. Brenda is petrified of the ‘social suicide’ of the library ban. Thinking about it a little bit more though, this seems spot-on: unfortunate, but true.
-Drew
For the Galazy review
Abbi,
Glad to come back to this.
I see that my premonition about whatever Bianca has bottled up inside boiling over is starting to come true between her Spanish outburst and then screaming into her pillow. Her reflections about being disconnected from her friends and from the role that she has been playing is beautiful introspection. I’m more curious than ever to find out what ‘it’ was that flipped the switch for her.
“People are just the worst.” Yes. They. Are.
I’m curious about Biaca’s motivations for helping Al. She wants to get him to an ‘E’ in potions..but why? Is it a challenge she set for herself and then must see it through, or is there some other reason (possibly related to ‘it’)? Hmmm.
As we transition to Al, we see the yin to Bianca’s yang. He’s someone who’s trying to be independent and feels constrained at every turn. I love how you have him struggling to break away from his parents and Neville and ‘just have a secret’ like a normal teenager.
Al discovering more about Bianca (not being the person she pretends to be) starts chipping away at the wall between them. I’m wondering if we’ll see Al/Eleanor chatfic next.
-Drew
back for the event <3
aww he’s trying
you’re changing, bee
that’s sad
i mean valid
yeah if its on occassion it’s not too bad, depending on who’s the one doing it
maybe you would, can’t hurt to try it, can it
very wise
true
yeah get out of that lifestyle, bee
this conversation, i love it
maybe not the right way to cope with it though
maybe have a tad more faith? he came, didn’t he?
lol how to bribe kids 101
hes trying, bee, though i get why you’re upset
they really needed to have this talk, didn’t they
progress
lol kids
oh thats a lovely gift
that truly is meaningful
i mean, it is fair to like eat first, esp with the drying and all
yeah send it off
i do not want to be in the middle of that
i cant imagine it went well if thats his reaction to it
maybe he isnt ready to do that now
i am like begging here that rose is going to let it go
youre growing, albus
i want to hug scorpius, but i think albus has the better idea
i mean who can blame him
damn, youre wrong about that all, albus, but i cant blame you for it
oh good god another intervention?
thefuck
i mean id get the worry phrased that way
good point
damn
maybe not but maybe also try and see how it would look from al’s pov?
oh thats what the note thing was about, damn, good on you, james
yeahhh this is gon be awkward
back again for the event <3
i dont trust this
oh joy, interventions
you probably are
rude
good on you, bee, head out and work on your own happiness
i love this change in you
i mean i get that rose wants to protect albus but honestly hes right
thats rude
yeah no dont thank lou this is horrid
if anything, its more like the other way around, and not everything is about a goddamn kingdom
you probably were
what the fuck
someone who gives a shit wouldnt do that indeed, damnit, bee
thats a lot fo messages
it is like that
yeah,no, i doubt you’ll get how painful it was for draco
valid
also valid
i hope you get something better than socks
that can’t hurt, no
maybe just get to know her beyond the mask, rose
scorpius is a gem, honestly
that must be complicated to deal with
she does need to trust you
very true
damn, you have been paying attention to her havent you
at least she admits that she still wants to
i want to hug albus
and back again for the event <3
i mean, maybe that’s a good thing, spending more time with others, or alone, even
i love this revelation
this just breaks my heart
yeah no i can see this go horribly wrong too
thats harsh, really. i mean, rose is also harsh to you but this is kind of low?
thats a risky move
yeah no i dont think scorpius would be happy in a party like this
maybe just be… open?
if you cant tell ethan maybe like dont be with him
i think shes just being nice
is that ethan?
yeah that raises many a red flag for me
i mean isnt she doing it right now
rude
i mean, nobody’s worth nothing
yeah you should. easier said than done though
you are good enough for albus, if you just let yourself believe it
see, he also loves spending time with you, maybe have a bit more faith
wait why does he give him notes what is going on
no hes not the enemy
ahh, they made up, and admitted they were wrong, this is nice
that bed sounds disturbing
yeah you owe scorpius a lot, damn.
aand im back with another review for the event
what is she planning
i mean that is to be admired
oooh do you want to have revenge on her for hurting albus?
i mean, it’s always nice to not let people know bc when it unleashes it has a bigger effect
maybe bc youre interested, bee?
lol at least you’re aware of it
i mean, fair
oh damn thats a twist i didnt see coming
maybe a tad dramatic there
ah yeah that seems odd
condition?
oh good advice
save who?
oooh her mum then, i guess, damn, that wouldve hit hard
oh yeah thats rough, both grieving like mad but also not knowing how to deal w it i presume
thats not stupid, its human
awww
ooh thats a good cat. mine would never
oooh glad this conversation helped, just like she needs it to happen
yeah sometimes shit just happens like that
what’s she planning
i want to know what lily herself would predict
fair
oooh love that about him
lol
harsh
you probably do
that sounds lovely
oh damn
yeah its probably too painful for them to bring it up
i mean, then it sort of did it’s job didn’t it
only just a tiny bit, al? lovely conversation though!
hii abbi, here for the event!
i mean, the fact that youre progressing is good, right? and it’s also pretty good that youre not instantly good at something, no matter how frustrating it is
aww, albus still advising her, love it
lol i’d react the same as albus
ah, yeah, sometimes company truly matters more than location
im melting on the spot right now
i forgot but you made phones work in school or?
lol, bonding over enemies tends to do that
lol, clever
now i wonder what will eventually convince her to break that selfimposed rule
maybe because you usually do?
fair
lol, love the way his mind goes
mature of you
good friend you are
that was easy
damn, you must be really like focussed on something to not relax when someone plays with your hair
damn, bee, you’re growing up
