Order Only: Private Message to Pansy

[alt_susan]

Hey Pansy--

Do you have any of that Small Mercies potion? It'd be handy to have and to give to other Prefects who might need it for their Houses after all the rumours flying around.

I'm still out so I can come by the dungeons.

Comments

[alt_pansy]

Yes, of course.

[alt_susan]

Thanks! It's good to know you're brewing it.

Some people who'd be tossing and turning otherwise will be able to get a good night's sleep. I keep telling myself that that's not nothing.

Whoever named that potion did a good job.

[alt_pansy]

You're right. It isn't nothing.

I hate just sitting around, worrying, but at least we can help others a bit.

[alt_susan]

Yeah. And it was good to hear about Ken & Jack too. I imagine you're well pleased about that.

And it sounds like Terry's mates from Sherwood are healing up too.

It's not all bad news by any means. It's not.

Dammit...I don't even believe myself.

[alt_pansy]

...Yeah.

I mean, celebrating people not dying is all well and good. But after a fashion, it'd be nice to not have the need.

And we will someday.

Promise.

[alt_susan]

And--if we're both there to see it--on that day we're going to sing all the songs and dance all the dances and toast all the toasts.

You with me?

[alt_pansy]

Yes, please.

I'll hold you to that.

[alt_susan]

I'm holding you to your promise too.

And maybe I'd better go before we really get soppy!
