SO LATE

[bitesvampires]

Feeling talkative today, are you, Ginny?

1/2

[7thborn]

Ron would say I'm always talkative. I know he thinks I never shut up normally, which is probably why it was so weird how quiet I got when I first met Harry. But that's only because I...

NEVER TOO LATE <3333

[7thborn]

[SHUT UP.]

Oh, ha. Very nice, Herondale.

<33!

[bitesvampires]

Just 'Herondale' now? I really must be in the dog house.

[7thborn]

Don't think you're special just because I've done something different. D'you have any idea how bloody exhausting it is to say and write everything that comes to mind?

[bitesvampires]

I think I'm special for both much more and much less. And no, I can't say I have any experience in the matter.

[7thborn]

Lucky for you. I've been prattling on and on about the most idiotic stuff since I woke up this morning and honestly, I doubt people are as interested in brooms as I am to even bother listening so I'm just talking to thin air, really. It's all a bit useless.

[bitesvampires]

It could be worse, I'm sure. You could be regaling all and sundry with the most fascinating stories and they could still not be listening.

[7thborn]

True enough. Though I suppose it depends on a person's definition of fascinating as well. I mean, like I've said, I could ramble about brooms or fireworks or charms as much as I like but if someone's more interested in... Merlin, I don't know, biscuits then I'm at a bit of a loss, aren't I?

Not that it matters. I'd much prefer not being able to talk at all at this rate. It'll be a right miracle if I've any voice left at all after midnight. I expect even Arnold's tired of listening, never mind the whole network.

[bitesvampires]

You can get some very interesting biscuits, I'll have you know.

[7thborn]

What could possibly be more interesting than the chocolate ones?

[bitesvampires]

Chocolate's quite dull, don't you think? There are plenty of other toppings, you know. Although I must admit, my allegiance lies with the digestive; there's nothing that goes better with a cup of tea.

[7thborn]

Chocolate's just the thing to have after a nasty shock or a run in with Dark magic.

[Bollocks, did she just say that?]

Bollocks, I just said that. Absurd, of course. I've too much tea and packages of digestives and things sitting in the cupboards. It's what I get for being far too English and having a roommate who's American, I suppose.

[bitesvampires]

[A soft hum of amusement.] You've already told me that magic exists in your world, Ginny.

I suppose so. They'll learn, of course.

[7thborn]

Yes, but I've not told you that I'm just as magical, have I?

[...damn it.]

Damn, except for the part where I've only just said it. It's not like it's a massive secret or anything, I'm probably painfully obvious and how can't I be, it's a massive part of who I am, isn't it? But I'd have liked the idea of having a say in saying it, thanks so much, City. Lovely. There you go.

[bitesvampires]

[Will's silent for a moment. The concept was amusing -- having to talk and having no control over what one actually said -- but in reality, it's far from amusing. He's a private person, and for as much as he's willing to pretend to be interested in the sordid details of everyone else's lives, he's not, not really.]

The non-magical are rarely aware of the magical, in my experience. It's not a surprise.
