Damn

[Noah Orchard]

I'm going to be the first person who has opened with something other than a line about your pregnancy in months.

Here we go, brace yourself. (and that didn't count.)


Damn girl, you looking fiiiiine.

How's that?

TAG: LUCY

[Lucy Murphy]

God bless your heart, Noah Orchard. You have no idea how refreshing that was. (Also: damn right I'm looking fine.)

And you're looking bloody handsome yourself! Have you done something with your hair?

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Noah Orchard]

Will had better keep a close eye on you. As refreshing as fresh lemonade after a day on the beach?

Yeah I got a haircut. You're the first person to like it - you grow better and better by the minute Luce. So tell me: Does it make me look older and more mature or what?

[Lucy Murphy]

YES. But screw you, now I want to play on the beach! And drink lemonade! How can I concentrate on this class when I have such wonderful thoughts dancing around in my mind?!

I don't even know, man, it makes you look super hot. I'm gonna need to get a better look at your later but I'd say probably more mature. Refined, even. Which is a good look on young men.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Noah Orchard]

I always want to play on the beach. Just tell me when and where and I'll bust us out of here, somehow. We'll be sipping from a cool glass before you know it.

You probably can't, but who really needs to concentrate when listening to Dumbledore anyway?

Hey, feel free and look all you want. Yesssss that's what I was going for.

[Lucy Murphy]

Ugh, that would be magical... I'd even be happy with just the lemonade!

You raise a valid point, Orchard.

Your hairdresser did a nice job! It's very versatile, you look young but you'd still look great and natural in a tuxedo. Absolutely perfect for a guy like you!

[Noah Orchard]

Then I'll sneak into the kitchens this afternoon. Anything for the hot mama.

I'm sure he knows we're passing this note. Like 99.9% sure.

Can I just tell you it's been too long since last time we talked? Way too long.

[Lucy Murphy]

DO IT. Seriously, though, please.

I feel like he knows everything. If that's the case, he probably knows he's my favorite teacher in the world and I am actually paying attention to what he's saying. For the most part.

I agree entirely, we need to never do that again. Stupid life getting in the way of having fun with my Noah. We should hang out sometime! Something slightly calmer than what we're used to. And less illicit substances.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Noah Orchard]

I seriously will, if you promise to name your unborn child after me. Show me you really want it.

....Or, if you want an easier route (so un-gryffindor!) - guard the kitchen doors for me while I stealth my way around the place.

I better write something down that's nice too. Dumbledore - you're one of the only people on the whole planet, probably ever, who can pull off a waist length beard. It's your signature, never lose it.

So....something really boring then? Haha. I know if there's any two people who can find a way to have fun, it's us. I'll take you out for a PG-rated night on the town. You can tell me all about your woes and I'll pretend to listen, just like old times.

[Lucy Murphy]

OKAY. I can guard. If someone comes I'll pretend to have Braxton Hicks aaaand request to be assisted to the hospital wing. ...Am I abusing my situation for bad things?

Ugh, I agree. I can't even imagine him without his beard. It's magical and really compliments his robes. Or maybe the robes compliment his beard...

We could do that! OR WE COULD DO ARTS AND CRAFTS. Like filling up balloons with paint and throwing darts at them and splattering the paint all over a huge canvas. You don't really seem like a noodle art kind of guy, Orchard.

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Noah Orchard]

Definitely, that's why you're a babe.

In my opinion, Dumbledore's beard is everything and all else caters to the beard. Not many guys can have a beard. I tried, people weren't really a fan. You probably can't imagine him without a beard because I think he IS a beard. Without it we're short a Headmaster.

Yeah you scared me a bit when you said arts and crafts. But the paint deal? I'm in. Only if "accidentally" painting the other person isn't off the table.

I could noodle art.

Okay no, I couldn't.

[Lucy Murphy]

OH BEHAVE.

I think with a beard you'd look like an old man. And you are not old. You are young and dapper and not a lumberjack. Dumbledore isn't a lumberjack but he is a warlock and everyone knows you need an intense beard to be a legitimate warlock. I bet the beard makes his spells stronger or something.

UGH FINE YOU CAN ACCIDENTALLY PAINT ME IF YOU INSIST.

You really don't want to noodle art?! Does it bring back bad memories from the days you ate glue and got sick from it or something?!

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Noah Orchard]

WHYYYYY?

I didn't look old - maybe just a little homeless. You might be on to something, Luce. I think his beard is infused with magical properties. Oak wand with Dumbledore hair - that would make one hell of a wand.

Wha, you don't want to be colorful?

Not really, and eating glue when I was a kid was the least of my parents' worries. I'll let you in on a little secret but you can't tell anyone. I'm not perfect. WHOA. I know. but I'm trusting you to keep that top secret information, and you see, artsy stuff just isn't my thing.
